My freedom of speech is questioned
My woman's intuition told me that my self-deleted blog was upsetting to some people. So here's what I'm going to say. Where is my freedom of expression? I know you have your freedom of the press, but I have my right of freedom of speech. My opinions are my opinions, and I passed down the concerns of my hometown's residents through my blog. Yet, when I posted my blog, another blog got posted. A blog I expected to get posted. Talk about listening to the general public's comments and concerns. Next time I won't make it so evident. To keep myself from being "liable" for my words, I deleted my blog. Thank you for taking away the freedom that I thought I had in telling what the public thought. I sure appreciate it. Remind me about this if I decide to join the military and fight for your freedom, the very one you took from me. 3 comments from 3 users

Sorry to hear that your right to free speech was trampled on but don't let the small minded hold you back say what you feel and what you mean.It's only slander if what you say is not true. Some of the changes were for the better some were not.

Thank you for your comment. What's so funny is it isn't the fellow bloggers attacking me. If anything, the majority agrees concerning the changes we are seeing. My blog was concerning the recent changes to the paper and what some people, who knew I used to work there for many years, had to say about the new design and content. I can't help that the majority of them aren't happy with it. Some are, don't get me wrong. Some just don't care because you can easily get news for free on a variety of Web sites. I only offered some suggestions from the comments I heard. If the newspaper wanted to hear concerns, they had it through my blog. But I guess we all have to watch out for our liability. We have to watch out for the possibility of a slander suit bought against us for speaking our minds. If that's the case, what the world are blogs for?
