Reading is Fundamental!

In many ways, I suppose we learned a lot from yesterday’s “Morongate” scandal on the World Series Dreaming community boards. Flat out starting the headline with “Joe Maddon is a Moron” was probably not the nicest thing to do, but I set out to perform a bit of a social media experiment and pretty much got the result I expected given the hypothesis. Basically, if we post a blog, most people will react based solely on the headline without actually reading the blog, which is what we’ve observed consistently throughout the existence of our community.
