Blogging!

Following an interesting spat today on sarah carey's blog, i felt compelled to contribute on the responsibilities of bloggers... in fairness Sarah has a reasonable understanding of the issues but then this guy mark shows up and links critical comments on one's blog to "inviting someone into your living room and then having them crap on the carpet"

How can bloggers be arrogant enough to believe they can say what they like, about anything or anybody without entertaining the corrosponding responsibilities?

And i don't know about the bould mark...but i keep my living room fairly private... now when i put it in the middle of O'Connell St and allow anyone in the whole world to come in and have a look (while hoping they comment and tell me "oh what a lovely living room" ) then i'll undertand his point... until then i think it's tosh and rubbish.

Bloggers have huge responsibilities to ensure others are not libelled or slandered, there must be recourse for people who feel they have been hard done by... otherwise a weblog is a private fifedom where the blogger is crown prince and any edict may flow regardless of the consequences.

as for the anonymous bloggers.... i have no respect at all for thier views...if you can't put your name to it... don't bother publishing it...some of them can be funny...but that's about it...please don't expect us to take your political or social commentary seriously
