Answering Some Questions, Getting Things StraightI try not to "interfere" too much in the "converstions" which go on in the comments. They have a dynamic all their own. There's a problem I sometimes sense, a negative one. Frequently, I'm surprised and even offended by the use of the word "you," as if I'm the employee or slave of the readers or Arutz 7 management. Typical is this statement/question by DACON9: WHY ARE ARUTZ SHEVA BLOGGERS LATELY VERY CONTRADICTORY? This is an angry question, and according to the norms of internet correspondence, the use of capital letters indicates "shouting." There's also a very strong indication that the writer believes that Arutz 7 bloggers are some sort of group, that we coordinate and communicate. I hate to rain on your parade, as the saying goes, but you are 100% wrong. The only thing that Arutz 7 bloggers have in common is blogging on Arutz 7. We have never had a meeting. We don't correspond or plan, unless we knew each other before. For intance, my husband and I both blog on Arutz 7, but we don't coordinate our posts, our opinions and nor policies. It's the same with our other blogs. When I got that call from Arutz 7 over a year and a half ago, asking me if I'd like to blog on the site, I was told that I'd be able to post whatever I wanted, and that was the last time we discussed content. I don't get paid by Arutz 7, and I don't even get the "holiday gifts" given to those who do, even though I do believe that there are people who go to the site to read my posts. Some A7 bloggers may possibly get some salary for work on other aspects/departments of Arutz 7. Please relate to us, the A7 bloggers, as individuals. I doubt if any of us even read all the other blogs posted. That's how little we know of what else there is in the blogs. I do read the comments to my posts, even when I don't reply. Thanks for listening, Batya |
