Penthouse Forum Letters Free Online



One thing I did not know before opening a blog like this is that you have it tested. One manages a space where everyone can say what you think, and temptations to modify the collective discourse is generated, are constant. I speak of course from where the views of the participants are contrary to oneself. Leaving aside the mere insults, there are many other interventions to justify censorship by the owner of a blog, or I think.

Many bloggers end up turning their blogs, perhaps unwittingly, in small Ministries of Propaganda in the service of his own image. There are those who shamelessly decided not to publish any dissenting voices ever. Others do so only when such interventions do not compromise the balance between "editorial" and criticism. In any case, it is to redesign public opinion to suit the interests of "moderator." It is unfortunate that this strategy reproach dictator and then act as if we have the power to decide who believes and who does not.

This leads me to a sad conclusion: there are many people who have a blog not to expose their views to criticism and try to learn something from them, but to reaffirm what we already think. Real thing, but then, why the possibility that other part? Just to receive praise? Why should you be issued a terse "Great post, so 'and also criticized a brief" Pathetic post, so'? Why are so many bloggers decide unilaterally terminate discussions with a "I do not care", without realizing that perhaps the other (or any reader of his blog) want to continue? Why so many pirra they have the last word, to the point of censoring all subsequent actions to which they conceived as a wonderful end of the debate? Of blogs where the author entries are usually answered by thirty laudatory comments, how many ranks first true unanimously laudatory? How many are in fact the product of careful purging?

There should be an Internet space in which to play the comments deleted and not published in blogs and forums, information stolen from public discussion. Would know more about the participant censored, but above all much more about the censor blogger.
