…which is like washing his hands of any responsibility for anything.   e ano kung walang karapatan ang ilang taga-fv to speak for filipinos.    e ano kung walang karapatan kahit sino na mang-insulto o mambastos.   wtf.   is this the same nick who stood up and accused malu fernandez of stuff that some of his bloggers are now accused of?   ah, but nick is not the chief, there is no chief.

The gist of my opinion is this: I agree with Nick’s position.

Here’s why:

“Living with this Free Speech, sometimes You get offended.”

Stuart goes on to say:

the kind of leader who at the very least would impose standards of honesty and civility.   otherwise fv is suspect as a source of credible information and rational opinion, because how can anyone tell that the good ones have not been infected by the bad ones?   all it takes is one rotten appleto spoil the barrel.   three or four speeds up the process.

We’re all adults here right?

Aaron Sorkin, the guy who wrote The West Wing had this Television program called Studio 60 On the Sunset Strip. During the pilot, one of the characters he created, Wes Mendell had this to say about Free Speech, political satire and the state of our collective Intelligence. It is particularly smart satire:

The nature of blogging is that the reader is smart enough to judge for himself or herself when something is crap or not. It’s called discernment. It’s called, having a brain. It is called free will. You got a choice. People don’t have to read it. People don’t have to subscribe to it if it was really junk. It’s like TV. You don’t have to watch crappy TV. You got a choice.

Personally speaking, I don’t follow the thread [strikeout: you've] Stuart mentioned. It doesn’t interest me. Reyna Elena does not impress me. Reyna Elena is just trolling.

I speak as a lowly contributor: Filipino Voices isn’t here to hold your hand (regulate) nor cuddle the reader from the Internet. You got a brain that you use to read as well as to use before you comment. This site has rarely banned anyone from commenting. We’re all adults here right? That said, While Filipino Voices isn’t perfect, we have a comment policy and the site is constantly changing and evolving. I’m sure Nick will be the Voice that will speak of future changes and official stand of the site, when he needs to and you’ll know right then and there that that’s impact.
