Jeff:

I hope you will forcefully assert that given the nature of blogging, which the men and/or women from the Complaint Bureau do not seem to comprehend, the blog owner cannot be present 24/7 to monitor every posting especially given the fact that certain posters have strong emotions over certain issues.

Jeff

Give the distinguished members of the august Complaints Bureau of Communications and Multimedia Content Forum a lecture on Blogging 101.

If they still don't understand or too dumb to understand the difference between weblogs and internet news, they might as well get their asses off their seats on the Forum and let others sit on the Forum. Who are these "distinguished" characters in the Forum anyway, if I may ask? Do they really know the changing world of information technology on how information is being diffused into modern day society, and the changing role of "information gatekeepers" ie such as the bloggers engaged in information diffusion.

I think the 2 posts above pretty much sums up how ridiculous it is to put any blame on you. And thats not mentioning the idea of a free media. Be well.

They should just get off their high horses and join this blog as commentators for a period of time instead to get the feel of how it's like. Participative field orientation, rather than sanitised theoretics.

Blogging is the new global phenomenon; one new one every second, doubling of the base every few months, corporate interest building to a crescendo. Given so, how can they not be interested to learn from the very people who're contributing in terms of knowledge to what they need for their own work? Especially from a blog such as this which has been internationally recognized.

They may even make some blogging friends and find out how much of what's happening out there in the whole world has made this country's official understanding of convergence outdated.

Blogging censorship is not like movie censorship. In the latter case, the board will have all the time in the world to sit down, drink some coffee, light a cigar and watch the movie, snipping here and there according to a prewritten set of criteria that can be applied to all manners of movies, even come out with a ranking after that.

In blogging, you get a moving target all the time (poor analogy, Neil) and it's a stream of movies coming onboard in almost realtime; sometimes when the censorship board member takes five to go to the loo, something pops in which should perhaps be reworded. But then again, the commission should understand the mechanics and process of writing comments in blogs.

Sometimes, being bitten by a hybrid mosquito under the table while trying to write something can, well, change the course of history.

yah..one question..Do these ppl at CMCF actually blog?? :P
