Are we not entitled?

Are we not entitled to our own opinions? I've been surfing blogs tonight and there have been some good ones, some that created a sense of fun such as http://www.micheleagnew.com/main/2005/03/the_weekend_mee_2.html. I love her questions, and I especially liked her 'stream of consciousness' post. However, I have recently been reading a blog - which shall be nameless - and I just get the feeling they don't really like it if you post a comment which differs from their own opinions. If all we did was agree with every blogger we read, what would be the fun in doing it? The world would be an incredibly boring place if we all agreed with each other about every subject, wouldn't it?

Unfortunatly the individual in question doesn't realise that comments that will start a debate will usualy draw an audience to see it unfold.. if each comment was a string of "yups" & "unhuhs" it would get boring fast.. meh.. I say leave a comment even if it will set off a fire storm, after all there is no such thing as 'bad publicity' ;)

The devil in me is so tempted to say flatly "no. One should never add dissent to bloggers' comments. "

But honestly, unless the blogger is explcitly asking for debate, they probably aren't even conceiving of a guest reader making a point of disagreeing.
