I was busting on Syc more than anything...
When you read the following, take the word "you" to really mean "any potential blogger".
I think the Cellar offers you more than a blog situation does. The one thing that you can't get here is individual attention, because it's never "you-centric" like a blog is. But you have better readers here than you would get in a blog situation, because they're broader.
More importantly, here you know everything you say is gonna get examined, and people will bring out their differences; and they are on an equal basis to you. If you're right, and you can communicate, you will bring people around to your point of view. If you're wrong, better the chance you'll learn and get smarter, with people trying to disagree with you.
The worst-case blog situation, IMO, is that you're writing to a bunch of people who agree with you. A community of people where we're all the same is no fun.
It's funny to see how, when I titled the thread this way, it was "me-centric" and kind of against the Cellar norm. It was really just a playful sort of thing, to title it that way.
