In answer to your question over at FV -
"Is anonymous speech free speech?"

I say it is the voice of those wishing to be anonymous to their own hearts.

Also in answer to another question, same thread -
" . . . but here are FV isn’t the playing field level and fair . . ?"

I say a resounding "NO!"

It is partial, xenophobic and plagued by cronyism.

To another posting on FV -
"By virtue of its watchdog function, the only acceptable form of media regulations is self regulation."

I say - unfortunately, in the blogosphere, there are those fluent in the language of dog eat dog.

Dogs who roam around in packs, cashing in on their territorial markers.

There are those skilled in the art of corraling flocks of nodding, mindless sheep and hoodwinking them into wearing the skin of a wolf.

There are dogs, entrusted by the blind for guidance - who abuse that trust - leading them astray.

There are those that guard, trained to attack - with a crude loyalty that only protects and defends the hand that feeds.

Sorry for being sexist - of course, there are bitches as well.

Going to the dogs

I am banned from commenting there.
