Blog rulez
May 14th, 2007 |So the discussion about last Thursday night’s adventure at the track generated a few comments regarding what may and may not be appropriate blog topic material.
My opinion has always been that if something happens in public, it’s public material and I can write about it and discuss it with those who may have had absolutely no connection to the incident what-so-ever. However, if something happens in private, or in the course of a private conversation, then I will check with the other parties to assure that they would be comfortable with me writing about it. Until I get the sign off from the parties involved I won’t discuss it.
Some state that, since I have a “popular blog” (what ever that means) I should be more sensitive regarding the topics that I chose to write about. More people read the topic, more people are affected by my comments regarding the topic, my comments may negatively affect others involved with the topic so more people might develop negative (or positive I suppose) ideas about others involved in the topic that had nothing to do with the original issue at hand.
What say you?
