Not a 3rd space for all of us

I think this blog is not a third space for all of us because many of us do not feel comfortable blogging yet and may never feel comfortable blogging. I am not trying to say that blogging does not have it's place, but I do think that this blog is going to force some people to make statements they might not really want to make. If the atmosphere is supposed to be relaxed and playful, then this is definitely not a 3rd space. If you want proof just wait a few weeks for us to get into some more heavy debates. Some people will get angry about posts and responses and their mood will not be playful. We've all seen these annoying facebook group discussions where people get mad and argue about things. I argue that blogs are ideal environments for many people to argue because they don't have to defend themselves face to face.
