Read the exchange on the topic "Pit Bull Owners Are Idiots" between Ingelbert Lievaart II, a photojournalist from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada and me: http://ingynotes.blogspot.com/2006/05/pitbull-owners-are-idiots.html
The discussion, which I started by writing a nasty and uncivil comment, ended with Ing telling me in a private email that:
"Thanks for posting your comments. Both of them. Thanks for the "better" title, I have changed it. I was not insulted or hurt by your first comment.
The title was meant as a hook to get some discussion going in case I was to do a story on it. Your argument really brings more truth in to the matter but the paper I worked for closed it's doors and I've quit writing and just photograph now mostly.
I also checked out your website. Interesting stuff indeed. I'm so glad you posted a comment!
As far as my blog, I was surprised anyone ever read it. I think yours is the only comment ever posted and I really liked everything you said. If I ever get an editor who wants me to do the story I'll definitely ask for your help if that's okay. "
So, it was worth the effort to comment on his blog. I may have even made a friend in the process.
So, educate the uninitiated, one a time.
