Blogging != Babysitting
I love blogging. My father is a well known journalist in my region, and ever since I was little he has always tried to push me away from pursuing his career so I wouldn’t be compared to him and because it just isn’t a good business to be in at the moment. But when the opportunity emerged to blog professionally I was really happy. And for the first months I didn’t even receive any money from blogging whatsoever. I just wrote away and tried to bring innovative, and sometimes polemic, articles to ForeverGeek.
However, ever since it was sold our audience changed from a mature one to a… well, to what I could only compare in words to blogging brats. And as all brats, if they don’t get a good twist on the ear they never shut up and run rampaging through each article with 1337 or “nigger talk” (not that I have anything against niggers) and just be plain obnoxious.
For that reason I decided to announce that from now on I will be closing the comments on further articles where things get carried away. From racists to fanboys, I’ve seen it all through the comments I get on my e-mail. Some several months old articles of mine still get comments. Most of them are people asking about updates or doubts. All the others are those discussions you usually see between 5 year olds, only with much worse language.
Perhaps in the future someone will offer a netiquette school for such internet delinquents and some sort of degree will be required to be given freedom of speech.
Hundreds of men and women suffered and were killed in the past so we could have freedom of speech. And what do we give them back?

Someone with skill should make a “Every time you talk 1337 a deceased writer spins in his grave a hundred times” picture.
