Voice Of Reason - A New Direction

As anyone who's read this blog for a while would know, I started it with the naive premise that all sides of the debate would relish a neutral ground in which to post comments, ideas and opinions without one side or the other censoring them or, worse still, editing them to create a false impression of what was actually said. Sadly, I've discovered that a certain group of individuals don't want to be involved in an even handed debate or discussion but are only prepared to comment on their own small blog in order to control, edit and manipulate comments.

For this reason, my blog hasn't succeeded in its original goals and has gradually changed direction from being a forum for rational debate to being more of a commentary of the misrepresetations and illogical fallacies of a group of misguided individuals. I've therefore decided to recognise this change of direction and formalise it.

The new direction of this blog is to comment on the issues and expose falsehoods and illogical prejudices wherever they may occur. Of course, I still welcome comments and thoughts from anyone who wishes to contribute and hope that at some stage both sides of the debate will become mature and confident enough to contribute to a forum over which they're not able to have control and manipulate the comments of those with whom they disagree.

I've aleeady learned most people have no concept of "rational debate." AZU is just an extreme example.

It's such a shame as it would be an interesting debate if only they could discuss the points made without resorting to personal insults every time someone says something they don't agree with. It's amazing that people who consider themselves intelligent adults could actually think a response of "You're a lackwit" to be a valid argument.

I guess it would be cool to have some type of rational debate towards these issues, but I understand your decision. I don't want any part of the drama.

Oh well, they're all lackwits anyways.

As an aside, ever notice AZU is the largest distributor and advertiser of boy and girl love material? They are doing far more harm than good by incessantly advertising for them.

Thanks for your contributions Torchic Maniac. It's good to have a different perspective on matters. Please don't hold back but flesh out any points you disagree with me on as I appreciate the opportunity to look at things from a different angle.

WO - I had noticed that they seem to link to posts on the Boychat site an awful lot.
