Case Study 8: a comment

From the comment page at the Hot Ambercrombie Chick blog:

Max:
"Your citizenship reeks from the title of your blog, facetious or not. Not many people in the Congo are shopping at their local Abercrombie, nor ranting about how it is shamelessly commercial. Another privileged white "chick", who claims there is no such real thing as citizenship: try telling that to the mexican workers."

I agree completely, they're using American terms, benefits of being American, but they do not want the responsiblity that comes with that. It's a note prevalent in society these days, they want benefits but no responsibilities.

Here Peter Dodge addresses Max and qoutes him as a real source to which he is responding. Without a clue, Peter is conversing with a transparent identity. He believes he is having a real dialogue; taking the time to write a comment in response to someone he doesn't know. In fact, he even agrees with Max; and this is occuring on innumerable blogs, let alone 'chat' rooms and so forth. Is there not an empty din in these voices? Who are they really speaking to?
