A Blogger’s nightmare
I’ve seen so many blogger friends of mine (many who are also my uni and high school friends as well) being harassed with demeaning, malicious comments being left at their blogs.
Its a shocker..and its annoying. In the end, they had to make a choice to make their blog private.
Its such a shame that their experiences can no longer be shared with the rest of the world..mind you, some of my blogger friends are exceptionally good and talented writers..
Freedom of the web..having freedom in cyberspace sometimes lead to abuse I have to say..
I’ve had nasty comments in the past..but I never take it seriously..I mean, why should I bother about these people making comments about me when they don’t even know me? It is, I decided after a while..an absolute waste of my energy and creative resources.
The ‘Ignorance is Bliss’ quote aptly comes to mind. I ignored them and they stopped.. I think these people would want us to take offence, get mad, get angry..whatever it is la kan. So bila aku tak layan..diorang pun boring..
But I suppose, when I really think about it..sometimes what they say tu ade jugak berunsur teguran..yang baik ..I take into consideration dan ambik iktibar..only they say it in the wrong way..but most of the times that is the only way that we perk our heads up and listen..when people give you a shot in the ear!
Fate works in miraculous ways..
I suppose everyone has a right to decide what they want to hear, how they want to be perceived, how their character to be portrayed.
I was facing a whole lot of snide comments from some of the people whom I love dearly about how wrong I was to marry Aries..E-mails, Sms and phone calls..you name it..I was getting loads even a few days before my big day telling me that all of this is a mistake..
I smiled with tears in my eyes..but I smiled..I cannot blame them..how could I when they do not know anything about ‘us’ ?. How could they? they never even gave Aries a chance. They never gave me a chance.
My life is an open book.. I have nothing to hide..and hence this blog will always be open to friends, lovers, haters, ignorainers (as Eminem would say), fans..whoever thinks my 2 cents worth is something they could read, identify with..whatever..
To all other bloggers, my kindred spirits..stay safe and do whatever it takes to protect it. I respect those who were brave enough to take action and make a difference and take control.
