Critical Thoughts

The full story of what really happened can be seen here. Anyway, despite the nasty attacks made on my ownership of PPS by some cyber-extremists, Project Petaling Street is now back from the dead and it has never been better. I couldn’t care less about these idiots who want to campaign for a “boycott” of PPS. I don’t practice censorship and I am not about to start now, but those who think that they “own” PPS should get a dose of reality. This particular anonymous cibai from Penang truly pisses me off. I swear by Allah that if I ever meet him in person, I will resolve to rearrange his face in public for his mean, nasty attacks against me.

I find it particularly funny that these people are clamouring for a return to this drab era:

….when PPS has made the quantum leap forward into the Web 2.0 foray (not only in terms of features but of design as well) and now looks like this:

Are these people blind? I really wonder.

I am very much fully aware of the attempts of some people to promote a relatively-new blog aggregator as the “competitor” of PPS. Never mind the fact that its features are very similar to ping.sg and offers nothing new in that regard. I have nothing personally against that blog aggregator (no need to mention its name here), by the way: I do use it myself and I have indeed found the backend intriguing and exciting.

To cut a long story short, here is the evidence.

What my plans for PPS are will only be detailed once something that is currently in the works has been implemented, so I am not going to divulge my plans for PPS at the moment. But to answer some initial questions raised by PPS users:

No, I am not going to be “stricter” than Aiz, but there will be some “ground rules” of decency. No, the “status quo” will not remain for long either, but the only reason it is going to be that way for now is because of the limitations of the MT system I inherited. Until that has been changed, I cannot do much about it. No, I am not going to censor PPS, if at all. That will go against the spirit of PPS as envisioned by its original founders. No, I am not going to “censor all those food blogs that contains pork”, that would be nothing short of ridiculous. And no, I couldn’t care less if someone wants to “leave” PPS for another “ping site”. Yeah, I wonder what other “ping site” is out there for Malaysians, anyway? Do kindly inform me!
