Just saw minishorts.net is for mature audience only , i was like huh ?
when the old day public still don’t know about blog, we seem like have much more freedom .. but now when blog starting getting popular in media, we getting all these kind of complain/restriction .. this remind me how the media bombard SPG …
Quote from that Fong MC
I feel you do bear some of the responsibilities for this. By allowing yourself and your website to be highlighted in a national newspaper, you have knowingly and willingly allowed children to have access to your website which you clearly know contained unsuitable materials for young minds.
Hence, as a parent to my loved ones, I would like to implore you to re-consider your approach to your blog now that you are known nationally. I am not asking you to change. But please think of the young ones.
this 2 part is the most ridiculous, even today his children not find out these blog through the national newspaper, they will also find out through search engine or local web site, and there are so many so call contain "unsuitabke material" blog outside, is he going to email one by one ?
if your kids follow the style of some super star, are you going to email them ask them behave? geez .. blog is about a person, belong to a person, pls return the freedom to blogger !

Actually this isn’t about blogging freedom. It’s about professionalism. The mother was just asking her if she could tone down her writing, not making threats or demands on ms, if you read the mail carefully. I think that’s not so much diff from someone asking you if you can change the color on your site, saying it’s very contrasting. That’s all. Don’t need to react by posting the entire mail (which was probably meant as a private message to ms) on the blog and make sarcarstic comments here and there.
“Aiyah. I was thinking of saying fuck it all, but then some auntie (or uncle, I dunno) said that I was a bad influence on her kid, so I ”
Not exactly a very mature response…
With regards to blogger’s freedom… well, people are free to write how and what they want and I don’t think anything anyone does is going to stop that from happening. Just that if you are a reputable person, take care of how you handle your fame because fame is power, and with great power.. yadda yadda you know the rest:)
