The Downside of Blogging

What's the beauty of blogging--it's free. It's paperless. It's easy to use. It's accessible anywhere. It's unrestricted. Anybody can use it to publish his ideas virtually. Ideally, this is for individuals dedicated to the promotion of thinking and to those who are committed to sustain it.

What's the downside?? When students like us consider the use of blogs as a very convenient class requirement to get an A. This is a big waste of cyberspace and resources.

Are you a JERK? If you happen to think that it's fun and easy to create blogs to post the class requirements here without consideration to the huge physical & virtual storage consumption your blogs will eat up--then you are a JERK!!

Are you TROUBLED? If you happen to find blogging as an outlet of your repressed emotions, enjoying the journal writing hype while you are silent during actual classroom discussions--you are sick and you are TROUBLED!!

Are you a PARANOID? If you believe everyone will read your blog and will give comments because the professor told the class, and you think all your classmates will agree to you, then you're nuts! You're a PARANOID!!

If you're a JERK or TROUBLED or a PARANOID---PLEASE STOP BLOGGING!!

Gee, I guess I must be jerk, troubled and paranoid. But then again, this toubled nitwit who is a paranoid jerk is holding the levers of power for now. So, until this trimester is over, you guys have no choice but to be jerks, troubled paranoids.

And good work, siemens girl, never shy away from a good fight. That is what free speech is all about. As Voltaire once said, I may disagree with whatever you say but I will defend to death your right to say it. Remember class, nothing is sacred. So, keep on raising the banner of free speech!
