What's going on?

I haven't been blogging this past month as I have been busy with work.

I came on today to check out some of my regular blogs and found out
that Hazel's has shut down her site and Wendy has been slammed for her
comments on disabled amenities.

So much so that she has lost 2 product endorsements in just as many
days.

Well, I have always thought that her mouth moved faster than her brain
and from other posts from her past especially her comments about her
trip to KL, she has certainly riled up some bloggers from across the border. I guess she has really offended this disabled chap and he has
certainly been key in causing her to lose these endorsements.

Personally, as much as I support freedom of speech, I feel that she has
done a disservice to herself by voicing her opinions which have given
rise to controversy amongst the blogging community.

Her rational of having the right to say what she wants is a double
edged sword that has come to bite her in the ass and unfortunately has
caused her to lose some valuable revenue which she has admitted, was
money that she could have used for her family.

I guess the recent publicity in the media has finally struck home that
as bloggers, we do have a responsibility, not only to ourselves, but to
the community at large as well. Sure, be controversial and make your
views heard, but also bear in mind, that what you say can hurt the
people that read your blog.

So to Wendy, keep your blog going, girl, but if you want to mix
business with pleasure, I guess there must be a balance between being
politically correct and having the freedom to express your opinions!

Okay ..... 'Nuff already

Okay Anne ... I guess I can't win here. The more I write about it, the
more I get accused of being "obsessed" ...

Honest, it was an experiment. I merely wanted to get my blog out there
and did not mean to suggest that I was infatuated with ... (See? I did
not even mention the name).

Let's move on. I agree with you on one thing though. Blogs should be an
avenue of expression ... good expression if possible.

Dissatisfaction ....

"Tsk tsk tsk, shame on you Kimson, for having an opinion." At least
that is what one reader is trying to say to me.

Unfortunately "her" argument is flawed. This reader by the name of
"Anne", has been leaving comments on my last entry. It is obvious, she
is unhappy of my support of Sash's blog site and does not believe it to
be worthy of my praise.

You see, if she bothered to try and understand the purpose of my last
entry, she would realize that the design of my entry was to point out
that anything that revolves around sex or, the subject of it, will
generate plenty of interest, hence the title of my last entry. There
are many blogs out there, which contain explicit descriptions of their
own sexual encounters, but I chose Sash's blog because unlike the rest,
she writes pretty decently.

Whether her stories are true or a figment of her imagination is
absolutely irrelevant. If you read my last entry, Sash's website was a
means to my end, I wanted to see if by piggy backing on her website, I
could generate a higher hit rate on my blog.

I'm happy to say that it worked because I have enjoyed more hits and
more profile reads in the last 2 weeks than in my entire year as a
blogger put together! The fact that her blog was an interesting read
was a bonus! But I do understand that one man's meat is another man's
poison, so I can appreciate that Anne does not appreciate the contents
of Sash's blog.

Likewise, I do expect her to accept that the content of Sash's blog
does appeal to a segment of individuals.

What I do not understand is why she continues to visit the blog if the
contents of which repulses her? How do I know that? Well, because she
took offence to my comments about her left on Sash's blog, that's how I
know ...

Anyway, a personal note to Anne - Sash's may not reveal her true
identity, but at least there is an communication channel open for us to
interact with her. I'm sure you have a blog too, and I do not really
care if you leave your real name or use a pseudonym, but be brave
enough to allow us to redirect our responses to you.
