G'day Everyone.
My Gosh. Is Rick Klau nuts? If that's for sure, read first:

Then his home page: http://tins.rklau.com/2009/12/defending-bloggers-free-speech.html
But, first amendment aside, we have seen among both hearing and deaf blogspheres of what can happen out there. The right and power of Free Speech is one thing. But blogging should also be a privilege, not just a right to have.
Some times, I've seen the power of blogging and vlogging go to people's heads out there. What Rick Klau forgets is that bloggers, like every other journal publication out there, can be taken to the cleaners (aka the courts) if abuse of a blog or vlog happens. We do know that this is possible.
Just like we are a group of people with various articles in our posts, we have a rather large competition for readers to follow us. How much long could it be before we replace the daily newspapers or the postal service for the world of the Internet ? NOT LONG!
We should all enjoy the right of blogging and bring some opinions to our readers. But if we abuse this right and then the law will restrict us of what we can do and say. That isn't good to do.
So while in this season of the holiday, let's enjoy what we do and spread the cheer. Happy blogging out there!
Semper FI
