How To Punish Bloggers
This is a must read: Forbes has written a scathing attack against bloggers.
Web logs are the prized platform of an online lynch mob spouting liberty but spewing lies, libel and invective. Their potent allies in this pursuit include Google and Yahoo.

Dan Gillmor fires back.
Overall, what a pile of trash from Forbes Magazine, which uses its cover to go on the attack against bloggers in the new issue. You have to register to read the stories. Go ahead if you must; it's worth reading to see how a normally solid business magazine can go astray with an alarmist and at times absurd broadside..

But honestly though, is it not apparent that a large number of bloggers can dish it out but cannot take any?
We do have a large number of extremely uptight people who take themselves way too seriously floating about in cyberspace. The evidence of that can be seen at just about any internet forum or blogtal.
Happy holidays to everyone; may sense of humour find its way to those who need it, and mirth find its way to those who seek it. cheers

something off topic
I just wanna let you PPS guys know that a chinese publishing company called You Ren Bu Luo is constantly posting pings on PPS...
that includes pings from a blog called mei you ren (nobody)
the pings are made by a commercial blog group (many blogs under one group)
so you guys better see to it...
