BLOGS: A Place for FREEDOM of Speech ..OR...
OR...
Is it a place to lay down your dirt? I just read a blog on another site and I was OUTRAGED by the verbiage they used. They have and continue to bash on a partner (not going into what I think about that, it's another issue) but what I was so OUTRAGED about and still am is the word they used. I can't even type it, all I can say is they used the N word in a description that they basically were the slave in the relationship. I sure hope the hell this site does not allow blogs! While I find reading a lot of the blogs people write amazing and sometimes helpful to others such as stories of coming out, finding themselves and other really good self help writings or just writing about their day. There are some amazing writers and really fun to read. But the bashing of others and using race in my opinion is outrageous and should not be allowed. It's sad that a Blog would have to be monitored as well. I reported this post after reading the third sentence and there was about 7 paragraphs. I did NOT have to read further to know 100% that this was one of the most offensive things I have ever read coming from a community memeber. I can't remember the last time I have reported something. But this was unbelievable. So are blogs an open forum to trash and bash?? |

So Daywalker,
Does Blogs give us the right to have Freedom of Speech? Or is there guidelines that one needs to follow? |

I am speaking of any Blogs.. Here on this site we do not have blogs! Thank god, because in my opinion it's just an area to open up a Can of worms or bash people, places or things. Unless of course they are writing something worthy that can possibly help someone or enlighten them or for that matter make people laugh.

For Blogs that are attached to sites, I believe the TOS developed by any
Site Owner should be followed. For personal Bogs, everyone goes Willy Nilly. Lol, so on that site there are indeed rules regarding Blogs. I think it has been removed now, although I see the entire copy in the Report

I think a blog should be looked at as a form of journalism and people should self limit or self censor. Some people don't, either they are foolish enough to think it doesn't matter what one writes particularly if they use a username that no one could possibly guess (insert sarcasm here) or they simply are people who never limit their mouths so why would they limit their fingers. I'm all for blogs but like most self expression one has to have limits that keep both you and the people around you safe.

There is a parent that is a neighbor of mine that is way active in school district issues, etc. and she has told me that her kid's school district most certainly has discussed doing this! Although, I don't know that I can trust this- she sort of strikes me as angry with teachers/schools in general. I don't know her well at all. I would think that this would be illegal- or at least could be fought by unions representing this district's employees. But, with budget cuts always hanging in the air and ways to cut personnel and programs- who knows! Some of this stuff is done under "consulting" or "background checks." I do know that installing software that traces employee use is legal for employers in many cases. Why take the chance!! |

These are the really tough ones for mods or an administrator to deal with. What you are talking about here sounds way over the top. Sad and infantile. I hadn't thought about no blogs on the Planet in this vein. Thanks for giving me something to think about. I have never been a blog reader in general unless on any social networking website. LOL... I'm glad of this after reading your post! It is too bad- as there are folks that I believe could contribute a lot via their insight, knowledge and background. |
