[...] Out of all of them I only knew Nadia but the conversation was so natural amongst all of us that it felt like we knew each for so long. And what a freaking small world: Robin knows Kenny Sia from Kuching, and Rodney went to Kenny in high school here. Nadia and Cynthia (and also Kian and Bruce) also shared with me the stories from the last bloggers’ meet when Kenny Sia was in town. And naturally there were a lot of gossip shared. Woohoo! [...]

[...] Similar to what I talked about in “Blogging Responsibly“, a lack of visual and tonal cues impairs all forms of electronic communication. Misunderstandings can easily occur from different interpretations of the same words. [...]

[...] Words carry consequences. You want freedom of speech then you have to be ready to deal with the consequences too. Take responsibility for your words. Blog Responsibly.Everyone had been bickering about what should have been done instead of Peter and Kimberly’s email campaign but no one has come back to me yet with a single justification for Xiaxue’s words. Why is that? Because they cannot be justified. [...]

[...] Conclusion? Blog Responsibly.A lot of ppl (ie. flamers) have said that because Wendy’s is just a blog, so all displeasure should be aired and confined only to the online world. That would be fine if not for the following reasons: [...]

Great insight on Blogger’s being responsible for their own blogs.

starry: too true. To criticise her without basis is wrong. However in our case, she has provided lotsa ammunition by her own words. And you are right about us firing back at her via blogging. Anything else would be too unsavoury to contemplate, no?

yc: Ramli for me! Ramli for everyone!

sourrain: vacumm memang cukup! Tonight I wouldn’t be able to sleep ah! Maybe need some hot-toddy. “Profound influence” … shucks, oh you look me too up liao. Hahahahh!

To be fair, Kenny does disagree with XX about the toilet thing. I can only hope that he can make her see what the rest of us see.

Bravo my little grasshopper.

*clap*clap*

When we next have a virtual drinking session, beer on me.

What I don’t get is,why are people sticking up for xx criticizing disabled people?Don’t she understand that they would luuuuuurrve to be able to join the queue for the lucky able-being people?

In a bimbostic example, it’s like Britney Spears preaching to 9 year olds that it is OK to have sex at 12.Fame comes with responsibility. It’s a burden the oh-so-famous blogberity have to embrace.

Which I forsee this little grasshopper becoming one soon with his profound influence. But moo will always write with the eloquence and common sense that we have all come to love.

Moo: Vacumm enough already ornot:P

I guess people get carried away when they’re annoyed about something. I know that I am certainly guilty of that, and it doesn’t neccesarily mean what I say. Not that being upset necessarily warrants that.

What I’m trying to say that if someone expresses a thought, or blogs in a manner which rubs people the wrong way you can expect all hell to break loose. It’s similar to how people get road rage – you cut me off, I introduce you to my middle finger. Transferred agression so to speak.

However, an unprovoked attack is a different matter altogether – just like how some people will still criticise Wendy regardless of what she published. That’s not on.

But poppa always said – you will get people who love you to no end, and you will get people who, despite what you do, will be intolerant of you. Everyone has a right to an opinion too.

I think that as long as they don’t go emailing Wendy, spamming her comment box or abusing her on the street, really, what’s written on blogs (as a result to being provoked by her post that is) she may never even visit is minor.
