Write blog books, but not understand RSS
That's the summary of Don's complaint about RSS readers. Sorry, but at this point, it's really getting on my nerves (Don isn't the first, just the loudest on this topic): if you provide an RSS feed, you have to accept at least one thing: that people will use it. If you're so cheap and don't offer a full-text feed, but at the same time are too lazy to write an excerpt for an article, then you can't complain that people judge you after the first few sentences - you only give them the first few sentences to see.
No, it's ridiculous to expect everyone to only read blogs in their original form on the website. Yes, this means, for example, that the layout of blogs is lost because you can't see it in the RSS reader. Yes, that's definitely a good thing - especially with various far-right blogs or blogs with stupid color choices with insufficient contrast between text and background.
If a user with an RSS reader doesn't manage to entice me to read an article (if it's not fully included in the feed, then also on the website) with their entries, they've done something wrong with their RSS feed. Period.
Insulting users with RSS readers is a rarely stupid action for someone who always claims to understand blogs in discussions and always mocks other bloggers - be it because of their tech obsession, their arrogance, or whatever else displeases the gentleman ...
