But like it or not, as blogging becomes a staple medium for the exchanges of ideas and information, there will eventually be some form of regulation by the government. Just look at the couple of cases where bloggers stepped beyond certain boundaries and were jailed.<BR/><BR/>But I get ahead of myself. For far as I have seen, the association did not claim to be a regulating body. Their objectives are different at this point in time. Let's not crucify them for trying something which these group of people find worthwhile. Isn't that a form of self-expression too?<BR/><BR/>But like you said here, some of the naysayers may eventually decide to join the association if and when it proves to be something for the greater good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34883330.post-35643193709471904702009-01-23T07:23:00.000+08:002009-01-23T07:23:00.000+08:00Influence?

Why let yourself regulated by other ppl especially when a blog's a person's identity? <BR/><BR/>No one wants to be told what he/she can or cannot do. And when we step out of the 'boundaries' they set, what will happen? I think it's just some people's way of trying to glorify themselves and try to make everyone conform to what they want. Anyway, I'm a Malaysian so I don't really care anyway. LOLAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
