I'll take the bait
"Blogboy" pointed me to this thread at Icered. It engages in the new sport of blog bashing, albeit at an amatuerish level. I have a simple challenge for those so intent on rubbishing the HK blogging community. Put up or shut up. It is extremely easy to start a blog - go to Blogger and follow the step-by-step instructions to have your own blog going within minutes. Then you can live up to your bravado by actually showing the rest of us your outstanding abilities to write and commentate. I await your dazzling wit with bated breath. It is apparently so easy and the competition isn't fierce, so the world will be your oyster while you blog up a storm. Alternatively I'd like an answer to this question by "Confused": Since you guys seem to dislike bloggers so much, would it be fair to ask why you waste so much time and effort actually accessing and reading the blogs, surely not just so you can critisise them? If you don't like them, don't read them. The only answer was from "Fair-point" with the inane: Confused - could it be that there's so little English writing on HK we'll look at anything? And they're so bad they're funny and great fun to mock??? Long live this crap! If "Fair-point" is looking for English writing in HK, they are welcome to use the HK Library. For the rest of the bashers it seems they have a love-hate relationship with blogs. They purport to hate them but cannot help but constantly look at them. Why? Because it is far easier to destroy than create. Will they take the challenge? I doubt it. posted by Simon on 09.08.04 at 02:05 PM in the![]() ![]()

Goodness, is Icered still going? I thought its business model had been rendered obsolete by blogging. posted by: fumier on 09.08.04 at 05:04 PM [permalink]Erm...hope you aren't implying that existing bloggers have any wit or outstanding abilities to write. I think I proved that point with my own offering. posted by: Eshin on 09.09.04 at 02:55 AM [permalink]![]() |
