I’m done participating in your blog. The main issue is your blog lacks interactivity. You throw out interesting articles and share your thoughts, but rarely feed participant insight back into the discussion. I also have the unreasonable expectation that a professor at a leading business school should be able to rise above the fray. Your blog is not really a discussion, nor is it an extension of your teaching as much as it is a vehicle for you to channel your political views.
