Dos' & Don'ts' in Blogging

Observing the latest development to our beloved SHS8890 blog, it is a very interesting, satisfying feeling as it has never been better from a year plus ago...Well done everybody...

Nevertheless, I am a bit worry as names and some sensitivities have been raised for the meaning of "fun" may or would have gone over board. To few of us, we may take it as fun but to others..having not been with them for the past 17/19 years...things could be different especially if correspondences are with unknown sources...one could be a Bush man or Osama's brother or MP's bodyguard...who knows...

***Please read Borneo Post front page today on blogging issues...though our contents have not reach to that extent...but do be extra careful..(b.c.c)

I do not have the actual list of dos' or don'ts (may be, Pat could put a safety net on this) but I guess, one need to be principally and intelligently alert as to ensure the comments are genuine and within limit without damaging others' dignity or touching sensitive issues.

However, by all means, please do not limit your creativity and fun, go all out to input great humour with preservation of true respect and dignity at all times...

Keep your humour flowing...as it really lighten up things...

  1. If I ever had to make a Top 10 Gentleman List, Stephen would be at the top of my list.

    Your post is much appreciated, it'd be sad to spoil the quality of the blog over our ignorance of the do's & don'ts in blogging.

    Could the others who also had "the name" in their comments also consider deleting them...she has a sister in our year, remember?

  2. ivy, would i be the top 10 gentleman list of yr choice?? hehe..

    Yeah, i totally agreed with stephen on the do's and don'ts that could brought to the sensitivity of the contents to our friends that mentioned earlier.

  3. If everyone agrees the name should be removed I will delete the comments containing the name from all the posts tonight.

  4. "I need a hero, I need a hero for the rest of my life.." (song) - need I say more?

  5. Geezzzz......seems like I have been magnetised to this blog!

    Pat,

    WarHammer,

    gr8bud,

  6. Thanks, Ivy. I am blush..You may want to start your list soon...you may discover that many would be over the top!

    Pat: What is done is done...let it be a learning experience. Do not delete but if you may change to a short form..in disquise and still able to maintain its sweetness and suspense, it will be great. Leave it to your call.

    Mr. Tee; Understandable of your heavy responsibilities...COO of a credit firm.:)

    But, hey..don't always give me aeroplane to play.

  7. Okay guys, some slightly bad news.

    I can't edit any of the comments. I can either keep it or delete it. This is a blogger limitation.

    Can I get everyone's agreement to remove those comments? Warhammer, hansac, please feedback as well :)

  8. Pat,
    I've mentioned before we're all adults. You don't need my consent to do what you want/need to do. Frankly speaking, I don't think you should be burdened with this "dirty" work at all. Names were mentioned in the heat of the moment which in itself was not intended as a form of malice but a recollection - nothing said to defame or imply anything bad about the person. And from what I've seen, these were already removed except for one...correct me if I'm wrong. It's great to be sensitive but don't jump 10feet high at the pop of a ballon...and this particular sentence applies to no one in particular (in case there are sensitivos out there).

    Mr Tee,
    How can you not be drawn? The latest postings have the making of a hongkong/korean soap opera. I myself am a fan of Korean dramas...:)

  9. Pat : I have also noticed some of the comments has been deleted or reedit. No worries, and agreed that you should not work as sensor board all the time. At least, for the better of everybody, all seems to have learned the dos' and the don'ts today and still remain creative and lively.

    For those ignorance lads, we may just need to remind them...or else just delete..you have the final call.

    WH : I like your style of creativity in words. BTW, what is your current profession ?

  10. Gr8buds,
    Thank you. Honestly. I didn't realise anyone would appreciate my brand of sardonic acerbic writing style...too many years experiencing...well, let's not get me started. I'm an advisor, and in my free time, I tend to my longan tree, my limau nipis tree, my chilly plant and my bitter gourd plant.

    Cheers, mate.

    Hansac,
    Where are you? Dude, no one's flogging you over the naming of names...so get your butt back right in here...or I'll have the commandant of your camp give you a 30km run - barefooted nad in full combat gear!

  12. Pat,
    On 2nd thought...leave all the comments. Tend to agree with WarHammer. His comment does make sense (only this one!).

  13. Mr Tee,
    I think you're still dreaming. Wake up...wake up! :)
    BTW, if your better half ever finds out you're obsessed with another man, oh boy, I hate to think...I can't even bear to think of the consequences!!

  17. Ivy:

    I deleted before people suggested. What rank in the Top 10 do I qualify?

    ReplyDelete
  18. ivy,
    u r so sweet by singing that song to me....although i never heard yr singing voice b4 but i will try to imagine that....:p

    pat,
    i would think that all the comments posted here are unique and quality but again not to mention some sensitive issue...so my opinion is not to delete any of them.

    Mr. tee,
    to be frank, i have same feeling with u that i have been magnetised to our blog here which could cheer us up when we were bored and tied up with tons of workload...but make sure nobody watching...

    mygreatbuds,
    again....i do like the way our 'Warhammer' (Hammer Time...)present his comment in our blog here.....hey....mygreatbuds...i m not 'pak turut' lar this time as i told u b4 about this lar....

    Hansac,
    Oh...it's u who deleted one of the comments here...as i noticed also b4 our pat mentioned in the blog...anyway, just dun mention the name....and just used the nicknames or pseudonyms like the one u mentioned here just now...

    ReplyDelete
  19. Hansac: Sorry, failed to point out that it was becos I noticed you were the 1st to delete your comment that I suggested "the others consider doing so too"...

    Gotta stop this Top 10 G List thingy...didn't knw you guys craved to be ranked (kidding!.

    Casper: If we came face to face today, I'd squeeze you where it hurts most - I actually went to the link believing you'd be revealing yourself....having a good laugh huh...well, laugh while you can cos your laughing days are OVER when we meet!

    ReplyDelete
  20. Ivy,
    Ahahaha...glad you had a good laugh. See? Feels good, ain't it? Huh, what's that? Oh, you were referring to ME...you meant I HAD a good laugh? No, dear, I didn't have a good laugh...I was rolling on the floor!!! Hammer Time!!

    Okay, seriously, the following link describes me. I'm the one in black holding the minigun (I still don't know why they call it minigun...that thing is HUGE!!)

    http://us.games-workshop.com/games/40k/spacemarines/gaming/deathwatch/default.htm

    Hmmm, if we come face to face today, you won't even notice me...I'm Casper! Invisible! BTW, Casper has got nothing you can squeeze that can hurt... :P

    On the other hand, Warhammer may find the very thought of being squeezed there...erm...let's not go there. Rated 38SX. ;)

    How come you sing for Heroes and not for me? He may be a hero but I'm the protector of the universe...|To Infinity and Beyond|...oops, wrong tagline. Scratch that...


    Hansac,
    So you're the one with 5 women on each side...I was wondering who that stud was...A wise man once said, "A nail (aka stud) that sticks out gets HAMMERED!!!"

  24. Ahh ma cherie, words spoken without thought are the flowers of one mind, no? Le feminine side should be allowed to blossom, no?

    Okay, at this juncture, I'll have to ask...do you need a barf bag?

  37. Some immature persons may assassinate a person’s good character in blogging just as recently I had been taken shot in the dark behind my back by a dreadful twerp and hideous dwarf with ulterior intention to destroy my character following a court action. I believe there is a streak of sadism in her nature.

  38. Who's Dave? WH's new name or new false name? Or no relation with WH at all? ???

    Am I d one Dave is referring to as hvg a sadistic streak? Cool!

    Eh, I had no part in "assasinating" your gooood character leh...

  39. Ivy:

    I think my earlier advise applies.

    Ignore strangers.

    Just entertain us here that you know, or friend of your friends, like yours truly.

    Ha ha.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Ignore Dave...I think its a spammer. First and foremost, I go by Warhammer [and to Ivy, Casper]...no other pseudonym. Period!

    Second, I wouldn't pull a silly prank like pretending to be another person or using another pseudonym to confuse the minds of those already in circles. I certainly detest most those who pretends to be who they are not.

    Finally, I respect my friends and expect nothing more, nothing less than the same from my friends, face with or face off.

  43. Dave,
    My bad...sorry. Since ur posting sounds awfully like spams [incoherent, cryptic] that I get, I naturally assumed you were a spammer.

    So again, my apologies and welcome to the blog! Your active participation will be very much anticipated. :)

  44. Ivy, sorry if I have offended you but I assure that the remarks were certainly not meant to refer to you.

    Warhammer, your apology accepted. After all, we are all Sacred Heart buddies.
