I actually believe that if not for those “death threats” (if they were indeed such) then she wouldn’t have resigned.

As for the emotions, well, I’m just one who believes that cooler heads should prevail at all times, and I while I do not condone denying the negative truth, neither do I like to wallow and focus on negativity the way too many people did.

Of course, that’s just me.

Pig, baboy, etc, words like that are figurative, and indicative only of the states of hurt the people felt. ‘Lynch mob’ is something the press calls this outburst of emotion, and is also figurative. We’re humans. We have emotions. We can’t shut these emotions down. In fact if everyone remained civil and ‘intellectual’ about what Fernandez did, I dont think she wouldve realized her folly. After the emotions die down, we can discuss things more civilly, but let us not deny them these emotions. Theyre as real as our thoughts.

Thanks for visiting.

While you’re right, such insults only serve the opponent when used in an argument. Note that ANC had the gall to call the blogs that voiced out against Malu as a “lynch mob” — it’s not because a lot of people have voiced out. It’s because of the language used in expressing those sentiments.

There are ways to be stinging (even hurtful) in civil words. There’s also the difference between attacking what she wrote, and attacking her, per se. Unfortunately most people did the latter, the infamous ad hominem attack, which reduces the credibility of our argument against her, even if we are correct.

Oo maliit talaga font sa comment box ko. You could press Ctrl + to increase the font size anytime.

Im with sparks. If Malu is free to say she’d rather die than be in a plane full of OFWs, then a commenter can say she’s a pig.

Everybody gets a free space to say what they truly feel.

(Talaga bang maliit ang font sa comment box? Malabo na mata ko e. )

And when did choosing to be reasonable became snobbery?

Thanks.

Don’t forget to plug my blog if you lift things off it. LOLz
