Unfair way to fight. Is blog-hacking the way to go?
There are a few blogs that I visit regularly. These sites keep me entertained and some of them even challenges my thinking or inspire me to do things greater than what I would normally do.
The recent exchange of fellow pinoy bloggers regarding the Desperate Housewives issue have gotten out of hand. There were mud slingings, disparaging comments name calling to say the least. Unfortunately, a couple of bloggers that I admire got caught up in the mess and somehow, the words have turned to be painful and others have resorted to technical means to fight their battles.
One of my favorite blogs, On The Wings of My Dreams was hacked this afternoon. His site cannot be accessed anymore and since my blogger friend is going through his review for his upcoming NCLEX exam, he has no time to devote to fix it at this time. I felt really bad and wondered how people could resort to hacking just to get back at him. Is this the new way to wage war against bloggers whom you don’t agree with? Resorting to this kind of battle is really cowardice in my opinion. Did they feel that they couldn’t back up their stance that hacking would be the only way to fight back?
The next thing I know the other blogger that I regularly visit, Reyna Elena came down as well. Was her blog hacked as well? I wasn’t sure but this is becoming ridiculous. To say that we are all Pinoys and should band together for similar causes – we are experiencing the exact opposite.
Let us not get in the way of unity. Opinions are opinions and a blogger has a right to voice their opinion, whether the viewers agree with his post or not. Comments are definitely welcome but we should sometimes agree to disagree. In doing so, we become better individuals with open minds and a greater amount of wisdom.
I really hope that these sites weren’t hacked but if they were, I hope that the people that did it can find it in their hearts to let the issue rest. I know both of them and they are really good people. There is no need to fight back this way. Tayo tayo lang kabayan ang magdadamayan, sana magkaunawaan tayo. I really just want to voice my opinion because these are dear friends of mine and I know how hard they work to get their blogs in the state that they’re in. That’s all.
Chuva,
Thank you! My site was back up again about 1 minute ago! I was on the phone with my host (4 people) trying to fix the site! I’m glad I backup every freaking entry religiously!
At the moment – I have no comment yet other than I am back online. I don’t know about bluep.
whew!!!!!!!!! thank goodness! i thought your site was hacked too! i was worried about bluep and decided to check your site, it was a funny coincidence that your site was down too! sheesh!
i just hope bluep gets his site back up.
my blog is online again. someone was trying to enter the server (my account) but page.ph is really reliable. my wp account was resisting the scripts coming from the outside. thanks God I upgraded to 2.2. I alrady changed my password and somehow blocked some Ips to prevent further hacking.
thank you guys so much for your support. imagine i have lots of frineds in the blogosphere but only the four of you really voiced out your indignation. (chuvaness, reyna, chuva and rino).
I just wish everyone would also stand up pero sabi nga nila para wala na lang gulo. i will take everything na lang as if it did not happen and go on with my life so that those who reads my blog would somehow be not affected by these wars.
I am also intending towrite an apology just to uphold peace, but it doesnt mean that im folding. I know Ihave done damage to and Iguess i have to be an agent of change just to attain peace.
this is actuall an opportunity for humility and not cowardice for the sake of peace so I will take this chnace just to show them that not all people are have their breeding. I still believe in Divine Justice.
Back to work and I still have to post my 100th post pero matatagalan kasi baka pati mga porivate pics ko dun ihack hahahaha
cheers and Im sending all of you my brotherly love.. from QUEZON PROVINCE!!!! HOME OF THE NPAs!!! They should remember that! cheers!
bluep – i am so glad you’re back online! whew! i agree – there are times when you have to stand up and say, i cannot agree with you because this is what i believe in. di ba sabi nga ng bibliya, hindi ka puedeng sala sa init at sala sa lamig – isusuka ka ng langit. o deba??!
i’m just glad that you’re back online.. salamat din kay chuvaness, reyna and rino (di kopa siya kilala pero i’m sure makikilala ko rin yan) sa pag-suporta.
This is what blogging has done for me, it connected me to friends like you, chuvaness, JC, Bea, Ceefive, Ross, Diwa, Dom and many many others.
Don’t worry kapatid, it will be evident in the end.
TITA MEGAAA! NI-HACK DIN ANG BLOG KO!
HAHAHHAH!!! Para sa mga may star quality lang pala yun. Hehehe.
Humility before God is not complete unless there is also humility before man. I salute you Bluep! Yan ang totoong greatness.
Tita Mega, I’m glad to have met you and everybody else. Trulili. Kahit cyber friendship lang to, I will treasure it for the rest of my life. Wabyu!
