and Now What, Cat takes up the cudgels for Sassy and says her critics are motivated by envy (and politically-incorrect, too, for criticizing her for being Rubenesque). I still don’t understand Cat’s attitude concerning entries that deserve criticism but do not deserve, to her mind, links (”they just might get traffic,” she explains). Seems to me that goes against a Cardinal rule of blogging, which is as much as possible, link to what you discuss or find worthy of comment.
Well kuya manuel, ang thinking diyan ng mga iilang filipino blogger is, "baka sumikat pa ang mga bumibira sa kanila". pero to most bloggers who are used to reading the instapundits and the andrew sullivans, linking to interesting (or offending) posts that you want to comment on in your blog is second nature.
I think it's always wise whenever you make claims, you better back it up by linking to the original or offending source to prove your point... or else, how would your readers know kung gaano ka-legit o accurate ang claims mo?
Like what jumper said:
another reason for linking the entries that you are criticizing is so that others can look at the entries and judge for themselves whether your criticism makes sense or not. if you do not link the original material, for all we know you could just be taking things out of context, or worse, inventing stuff.
...or exaggerating stuff.
Just like how PCIJ was "malicious" and "irresponsible" in casting aspersions on Tiongco's person and "dragging his family along the way"?
One last thing, if it's true yung sinasabi ni Cathcath na binibira si Sassy for her weight problems, then mali yan. But I don't know kung totoo nga yung sinasabi ni cathcath since she never provided any links to prove her claims.
