Libraries and Blogging

Welovelocalgovernment has an update on the libraries discussion I pointed to earlier.  Essentially, it points out the very heated nature of much of the commentary, and the difficult dilemmas facing Gloucestershire.  I willl stay off commenting on Gloucestershire, as I don't know much about their situation.  However, I am puzzled that posts on this topic seem to automatically lead to often quite nasty abuse as can be seen in the coment thread here.
