A question to all my friends: do you think this is a good idea?

I am thinking of starting two other blogs or communities, one about comics, and the other about my own research. I have a feeling that my LJ ends up being rather like a fruit salad, and what is more, those are the two subjects in which I have an almost-professional interest. Please comment.

I agree with the previous posters about liking the whole fruit salad concept. That's why I like LiveJournal, you follow (or *friend* or whatever) people, not themes or particular styles. If I had to follow a blog of yours where you just talked about your research, or comics, I'd probably lose interest, and if it were just about political articles and religion and stuff, well, I'd probably run away screaming :-)) But the mixture of it all, plus some fandom, some music, and other assorted stuff, makes you as a person, and you I like and respect, and that's why I read what you post, and get to think about it and challenge my own opinions (even if I seldom actually change them), and occasionally learn things.

So, I think I got sidetracked. Um, yes, fruit salad is a good thing.

I don't expect people to change their minds from reading my views. They probably have taken as long as I have to reach their own views, and their reasons to hold them must have seemed good to them. Therefore, to argue mainly in the hope of convincing someone who disagrees with you is to badly underrate that person's character, their ability to reach conclusions and to stick to what they think is good.
