This seems like shifting goal posts. First we're talking about Facebook and half the internet, now we're talking about context-specific technical solutions (and I don't concede that WP is the unilaterally superior blogging option either.)
Moreover, I'm not sure where your disagreement with OP is, since you're simply saying now that for a given set of criteria, a superior choice exists. Which was the message in the first place.
- RyanZAG 14y agoThe OP is saying we should not use terms like 'Your Mileage May Vary'. Instead, we need to just say which solution is better. I'm pointing out how this isn't the correct way to go about it unless you specify the exact circumstances. And this is where I agree with you completely. You can't say that because someone is making a blog they must use WP as it is the correct choice. You can say 'I believe WP will be the correct choice in making a blog but Your Mileage May Vary depending on what you want to do with the blog and if you are more proficient in Ruby than in PHP. This is exactly my argument, as the OP says you can't do this kind of thing and need to give a concrete solution. However, this kind of thing is incredibly necessary, and saying to use WP for every blog is just wrong.
