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!
