Unfortunately for some sensitive people they can't differentiate between the two :( and that's the thing that's hard to change. But I think even if we encountered some disagreements (like maybe the band or the eating place you reviewed found out about a bad review of yours and is unhappy about it), it's best to talk and reconcile. Defending opinion is brave but hurting people is unacceptable. I think it's best to explain that it's just a review and opinions and how they can benefit from it but if they can't accept it then just edit it or remove it. Care for your readers, because the blog's "stakeholder" is not just you. But then again, it's a personal opinion. Different people might have different approach for this.

We are on the same page certainly (I think!). Maybe I often look at the happier things in life, I tend to tune myself out of certain opinions from the blogosphere that I cannot change. I think we shall try to think about the impact of what we say to others. Granted that at times we can't cover all remote possibilities. Take my recent entry on the DJ Champansionship as an example. I was just blogging about the event I attended, my first time in life seeing DJs in action. Today, the Singapore Champ (I think as I never know the true identity) actually dropped by my site and corrected one mistake of mine (I got his name wrong ... lol). Fortunately I did not write anything that would make him feel bad. But even if I did because I didn't find his artwork impressive, should I voice out my opinion? Or shall I always stand by my own viewpoint regardless how others may feel, even for the remote possibility that the owner of the artwork may find himself or herself to my site? Just another thought to share :) PS. I like your post though. It triggers me to think, which is good. Cheers! Sylv – Yep. We are on the same page certainly (I think!).

My humble thought is that not all bloggers are the same. Some are higher profile, and hence, has a certain responsibility (like that politician's daughter?). Some are lower profile, and hence what he or she writes doesn't have that much impact. Some use real name. Some stay anonymous. It is hard to have one rule for all, I think. After all, it is freedom we respect so long as it doesn't break the law? (Such as racial remarks that may destabilize some countries.) And if I may add, not all bloggers aspire to be famous, or to be high profile. Just a thought ... I can see where you are coming from.

Do spread the word. No bloggers should be called bad bloggers because they don't adhere to whatever called "meaningful". Nobody should rule whatever other people want to do, but with that freedom comes responsibility. Thank’s Darran and Jesse.
