I think that it will vary with the popularity of the blog. When blogs are small, there's the perception the only people watching are the blog owner and a few of his or her mates. when blogs get large, people some how grow gonads, and feel like its the size of a stadium, and they can yell whatever they like. So, to answer your question, I think the size of the venue changes. Just a thought of course. :) Great question Ian.

This is 'my space' as far as the blogger is concerned - his/her living room. On the other hand, visitors view it as a public space. Blog visitors need to know that getting invited to someone's party isn't the same as being invited to puke up over the carpet, no matter how large the venue. Or is the size of the venue when things start getting weird? There’s a weird interconnection between very personal and very public on blogs.

As for the comments, well, get a thicker skin. Any time you comment online you have to expect the flame gun. In the larger scheme of things, TechCrunch is going through some growing pains moving from a blog to something bigger (hopefully better).

Boorish fratboys and sorority girls ;) exist everywhere. Best to ignore them with the occasional "F-off people" and do what you love, get your job done. Although I admit that I still feel sad when someone votes me down on a (sub)reddit. Guess I'm a lost cause! What a nice post, Tony! Boorish fratboys and sorority girls ;) exist everywhere.
