  2. Greetings.

    This is probably the fittest venue to post this.

    Just to let you know – one of the staunchest defenders of free press, Ellen Tordesillas of Malaya, has banned me from her blog, a supposed free zone.

    She didn’t like my retaliatory posts to her most prolific visitor – the source of her blog’s half a million hits – who started the name-calling and ad hominems in the first place. So she deleted my retaliatory post. I complained, telling her that her ‘censorship’ makes her no different from her favorite person, GMA, and that she should also delete the offending post of her most prolific visitor.

    Then she banned me completely.

    And yes, the post of this prolific visitor, full of insults/ad hominems, is still present.

    In her blog, I never initiated the name-callings and ad hominems. If I ever used them, i was just returning the favor. If they insult me, I insult them back. But i never started the insulting.

    If she wants to delete posts with insults, fine. But she should also delete the offending posts of bloggers who are the sources of her million hits.

    A glaring irony – a supposed champion of free expression, yet practices censorship over, of all places, a blog!

    Yes I know as owner of her blog, she’s free to do whatever she wants, including filtering the visitors. But she would not be practicing what she preaches if she does that.

  3. Do choose an electrical contractor that has a reputation in the market.
    Wobbling and vibrating place significant stress on many parts of the fan and will ultimately
    shorten its life. If you would have known it was this easy you may have made this change sooner.
