Those Damn Cyber Bullies

And so some on the CHCA board has discovered that new-fangled phenom, the blog. Ach, the bullying! The taunting! The Uncivility"! (Remember, civility means knowing your place.)

The following is a memo which shows how far off course someone can be without being an MSM stenographer for the Court of St. John or George the 2th. As it says, "we did find a few gems." No irony intended.

Bloggers and CHCA.... ""Reading material for the Board""

Hello,

My last action for this year is a report which I will pass around for all to read.. It will be distributed to you at this Thursdays Board meeting.. It is a report on Basic Bloggers and Moderators 101 ( my definition ).. The information is only for CHCA Board Education.. We cannot be a ''Viable Community Association'' without knowledge about ''Weblog'' and the short name for weblog which is ''Blog''..

Until sometime back Blog was King..

Now, Blogs are being questioned for their activities..

As publishers of the Local and having Blogs pop up ' here and there ' we should be better informed so not to be held Liable for crossing certain thresholds.. We must be more blog and web aware..This Blog data indicates that new legislation is now required to make bloggers and cyber bullies responsible for damage to people and companies.. This data tells us about the many pluses and the minus's of blogs..

There are Medical Blogs which I personally read with delight which are quite interesting.. Patients and Doctors share information with the world at large for the good of all and many of these folks are very dedicated and interested with the study and research within certain respective fields of medicine and illnesses which need attention..

Blogs can be absolutely the best thing ever and in the wrong hands very damaging.. How do we handle this subject ? So the Reason for this folder for the Board.. Everyone can make their own decisions about Blogs and at the same time in this day and age we can be better educated about Blogs.. A Blog can be of great Public Service if handled correctly and ethically.. I have been working on this project over the past few months reading as much meaningful information as I could without the inclusion of rambling data.. The data enclosed appears to be the clearest and best info I could find and considered for a Blog 101 review..

I wish the entire New Board a great year and good luck.. I thank everyone within this past years Board for your involvement.. We did find a few great gems, didn't we..

Ah, the sad irony of the old systems trying to catch the wave. Let's go back, campers, to a simpler era with this hit from The Buggles
