The place I'm coming from, personally: I'd like people to talk to about Thing I'm Currently Most Interested In (hereinafter known as Thing), and I would also like people interested in talking about Thing to come talk to me. As my profile says, PLEASE DO link my posts around, to each other, to newsletters, to outer space (unless I'm currently writing NASA RPF, then please don't link it to outer space). That will mean people are more likely to come talk to me about Thing. Also, link to your own or other people's posts about Thing, so I can find them! We shall all talk to each other in an unending comment party that is completely unlike kd lang's cover of "Heaven."

The flip side of that, however, is when you're linking to something you think is Wrong On the Internet (hereinafter known as Wrong).

(I am testing out this Signal Boost thing that was created by astolat here, to see how it works. You can feel free to signal boost my stuff on either here or personalapocalypse as long as it isn't access locked, BTW. Posting a comment on the post that says that you signal-boosted would be a nice ego boost!)
(Note: Yeah, definitely be careful using JS that someone else wrote on your own site... I program in JS so I checked it and it looked safe to me, but it should go without saying, it IS dangerous.)
