I was doing some study on wise speech in Proverbs yesterday, and I came across this verse.
I must admit, I thought immediately of many threads of blog discussion in which I have been involved. The more study I did, the more I wonder how compatible blogging is with the way of wisdom outlined in the book of Proverbs.
"If one gives an answer before he hears,
it is his folly and shame" (Prov 18:13).

How about Proverbs 15:28? "The heart of the righteous ponders how to answer, But the mouth of the wicked pours out evil things." Proverbs 16:23 is more of the same. Ouch.
"It is an opportunity not to sin also.
But I agree. It leads to arguments in which you don't really know the people, and this is not the ideal way to have arguments. Blogs are more about un-conversation in the comments. Not exactly the way of wisdom."
