| Jianshuo, Just one quick comment: You wrote: "I want to give facts, instead of oppinions - especially oppions based on no-so-solid facts." This is a great commitment. Unfortunately, journalism nowadays is gradually shifting from reporting of facts to expression of opinions. By stating opinions rather than facts you're less exposed to legal action, though you're of course still not entirely safe. In a thread on another topic in this forum, there currently seems to be a small argument on whether ungrounded opinions and less-than-rock-solid facts should be allowed to be posted. This is worth debating. For sure, correct facts are more valuable than opinions, but we can't expect all posters to be omnisicient. I personally believe that opinions are also a positive contribution to this blog, and sometimes opinions prompt you to look for facts in a certain area. And pls let's not forget: This blog is kept alive through discussions, and once a discussion starts, you can't shut out opinions anymore. |
