Is Ambiguity nice?

I have gone through quite a few blogs and one thing I notice amongst many of them is that people love to post ideas in an ambiguous and an unclear manner. There have been many occasions when I have totally been unable to comprehend what the post is about and what the person is intending to tell. Is ambiguity so beautiful? Does ambiguity imply maturity and being highly intellectual? Does simplicity mean childishness?

Personally, I feel any idea which you like to convey should be conveyed in a manner such that even a child should be able to understand. This means that you convey your idea in a coherent and in the simplest possible way. Isn't a simple post nice to read and understand?

Communication is a medium of expressing oneself, a message irrespective of being gramatically correct or incorrect should be able to serve it's desired purpose.simplicity is the best medium for it and it's easy to undertstand.Simplicity is not childish,it's childlike!meaning it potrays the innocence of the sender in honestly expressing himself

when it comes to blogs, some posts are personal... vagueness is one way of encrypting emotions...

More often than not, blogs are a way for people to express what's going on in their minds. Quite often, this is what is ambiguous, and this is why the reader is left confused!
