'Rude' blogs popular as they have substance
This article was published in the forum section of The Straits Times. Written in by Mr Harvey Neo another reader of blogs like Talk Rock and Xiaxue, he had to disagree with Mr Ephraim Loy's view ( "Spare us these foul phrases", ST, September 9)
Neo feels that Loy was offended by two separate issues.
Firstly being both the blogs containing expletives and secondly being the fact that a teenage magazine are recommending these blogs. Loy believes that doing so, we are actually encouraging people to write in the style like these blogs.
Substance. Talk Rock in particular touches on serious social issues which many dare not speak about.
Personally, blogging is like writing a diary, writing freely so long as you do not break the law. Expletives used in blogs to me is just another way of expressing certain things. Well why some of the blogs are so popular are also because of this reason!
