Interesting!!!! Salokya ji, You, to me, appear as a good human being, as I went along reading most of the preceding discussion, which I must admit was a far cry; especially with you accusing Ashu IF he was from THAT community ( that was low blow), and sometimes contradicting yourself. Your concept of reporting; to sensationalize the issue, is NOT WRONG; but the way you choose to do IS ( to a larger extent). It appeared to me that you were probably trying to give them an impression that you hold the trump card (mentioning about their personal contact info and all), in essence a threatening tone; however subtle. Regarding journalism; I know as much or as less as any TDH ( Tom, Dick and Harry hai :)), which includes that the rule of the thumb says, the privacy rights are defined differently for Public and Private people. Needless to say, YOU as a journalist/blogger, need to be very careful while threading this avenue. REMEMBER; next time you publish anything about private individuals: 1) Ask; solicit the concerned person/s. 2) Ask yourself and think of the consequences. Salokya ji, do not feel that one should not USE other websites to promote their own. ABUSING, is another matter altogether. Sajha, I believe will welcome you with open arms (yeah right!:)), or a 'cold hello', so long as you can stand your ground with logic and valid arguments. You would be a very welcoming addition in this community. I can not speak for the purist, I for one, would DEFINATELY enjoy your opinions in other sajha discussions as well. Thus, please leave the child-esque attitude and give us more opportunity to understand the new breed of journalists. Also, do NOT forget to cite/give credit where it's due ( of course referring to your posting of sajha material in your blog). No I am not being bitchy; it is just a commonly accepted notion and in many cases, legally enforced law. As a budding blogger/journalist, your actions would be critically evaluated by us readers. The more creditable you will be; better it is for us and eventually; YOU. Apart from that, I would look forward to seeing you participating and providing us more information here in sajha, and of course in your blog. And yeah, forgot to mention; be PATIENT, you are not going to get all the sajha folks participating in your blog overnight. Tapaiko sochai anusar tapaiko lekhma tapaiko blog ma kura huna chadera yaha bhayo bhannu bhayo. Remember, you were the one who posted the topic in SAJHA in the first place. Dhaire garnoos, in years to come, hopefully your thirst for broader participation in YOUR blog shall be quenched. Hai ta. Ani aa, more info please :). ..... (Ignore typos :()
