I had a hard time with posting at Bingfeng's too. I thought he was erasing and sometimes rejecting my comments, but it was the government after all.

the only comment i deleted recently is something like this: "i hate all japs, let japs go to hell". the comment appeared right above soudenjapan's comments and i don't believe soudenjapan could skip that racist comment without seeing it.

this blog doesn't provide a function of banning a reader, and i have never deleted any comments from soudenjapan.

A postgraduate student at the prestigious Fudan University has admitted that he abused and abandoned nearly 20 adopted cats.

The animal abuse story has been a hot topic among China's Internet users, after shocking images showed a cat with its eye gouged out. Tens of thousands of netizens criticized the student, surnamed Zhang, for being brutal and cold-blooded, while some experts described the man as "psychologically abnormal."

after media exposures of his stories, Zhang made a public confession and asked for forgiveness from his family and the public:

He apologized to his parents for "letting them down and bringing shame to the family," according to a story on the Sohu website yesterday.

the first pet organization i know was an online club at the ctrip that exchanges cat adoption information, the club started two years ago. in recent years, such pet organizations mushroomed, and cat lovers have a number of places on the web to share their joy and frustration, the baidu "cat bar" is one of them, with many photos of cute cat posted there:

after the china daily reported the case of cat abuse, a seperate but serious question raised: should the "mainstream media" followed the fuss on the web? isn't there a larger risk of reporting the fabricated stories by adopting the online sources? a reader of the shanghaiist made a comment on this:

In this age when it's so easy to fabricate a sensational piece of news and let overexcited people get carried away, it's important to report responsibly. Sadly, I never doubted the potential for this story to be true--but I did question the initial reporting, and I hope you understand why.

Particularly in China, blogs and BBS' offer an important medium through which whistleblowers can make themselves heard; however the unaccountability and anonymity offered by the Internet is a double-edged sword: http://tinyurl.com/dqx2c

as a matter of fact, internet has been employed before to make organized defamation campaign against some celebrities in china. just think about it.
