As Freddie Mercury saw it, the show will go on.
Two years ago (at least) when bloggers stepped up the pressure on Abdullah Badawi, most were quite happy to just hop in the wagon.
Some blogs were born, and most were given the welcome by Rocky. So the next step then was to start All blogs. But two years on, going to three, there is now a camp A, and camp B.
You see, Camp A, let's say Rocky remains neutral (but as claimed by most of his executors, he has sold out) and then there is camp B, won't put a name to it (but most would profess their loyal undying support for this camp as it stands for change, or more rightly stands for Pakatan symphatisers). And camp B has refused to sit at the same table with camp A.
Why do I say this? I was just made aware that last year's successful BUM08 headed by Desi YL Chong tried to bring together Zorro (who was unanimously voted organising chair for BUM09) and Rocky, but was declined (reasons not known to me).
I am not sure why, but I know these two men. I won't attempt to play fiddler, but to those of you who have decided to play judge and executioner, I suggest you do your own research.
As far as I know, All Blogs is not yet registered as eight of the pro tem committee members has not answered to the calls by the secretary to respond on their status to register the association.
As for BUM09, I wish Desi all the best in moving it. I can say that bloggers have now resorted to calling one another names if the other is not supporting Pakatan.
Please tell me I am wrong.
To all you bloggers out there trying to ride on exposes, may I suggest you counter check your source? My expose blew up in my face when Bernama confirmed that it was their Sub Editor who made the boo boo. As for those who are keen to just hyperlink, at least make sure that your source does not go around asking for money! I know of at least two bloggers who have done that!
Shhhhh !

Kickdefella expressed the same thing.
Just because we used to be united for a single purpose and that was for a common enemy, but now we are on differing positions, it does not mean friendship got to end.
Lets mature.
In politics, there is no permanent friends and permanent enemey. Politicians have alwasy a space for their competition.
Lets not be foolish supporters and make enemey out of friendship develop just becasue we defer now.
If you see how our politicans are, the bloggers have been too childish.
With regard to BUM 2009, I must request the pro-BN be roped into the organisation.
The discussion must be balance and not one sided. Then we can see how does the arguments match up. Barulah boleh move forward and ada progress in our polemics.
The last I would like to see is it turn out to be a partisan event, particularly pro-Pakatan.
Too bad that it didn't blow you up from existence....Next time yo should check your fact and not try to get some publicity and brownie point from the gomen...
"Rocky remains neutral"
I think, that with his recent appointment as Malay Mail's CEO, days after it was announced UMNO's NST would take over, shows how subjective "neutrality" can be.
Good luck to Rocky. Are you expecting similar rewards for your avowed impartiality?
I don't understand this particular bit: asking for money concerning hyperlinks. Where/How can one expect to make money from this?
