chanced upon a certain someone's blog (if you're wondering, yes, i know the person, no, i didnt link up his blog) and i was reading this entry about "the criteria one needs to fulfill before becoming a blogger". i don't know if i was being sensitive and moronic, or if it was supposed to be a personal joke or smth, but i couldn't help but feel passionately against that perspective of his. obviously, you don't know the meaning of freedom of speech. a blog is not meant for public viewing by default. usually, one's blog would only be viewed by others if 1) they knew the existence of the blog or 2) they chanced upon it. whatever the case, anyone who owns a blog is entitled to say whatever he/she wants within that few bytes of space. i mean, there's nothing wrong with judging and labelling a blog 'lame' and 'narrow' or 'shallow', but if you do it publically, or worse still, publish an anti- [insert blog name here] article, you're effectively defaming that person. and its not very convincing when you're defaming someone and the state of your blog itself is very pathetic to start with, eh? lol.
