Let me start by saying that I very much appreciate what you guys of sxmpe are trying to do. From you own welcome page:
"SXM PE is here to provide a forum to the community in which to discuss and raise awareness of important issues that concern our island home.
...
Writing a Blog or article for SXM PE does not mean you approve of every other Blog posting on the site. What you should keep in mind though is that anyone may comment and agree or disagree with what you have to say, if the later then you should be prepared to defend your view.
...
This site is for intelligent, informed debate."
Great!
Of course the latter may become difficult sometimes and I remember to have read several times the request to keep the comments to other users respectful.
The way I read JAP's reaction in the "see no evil" blog posting, he thinks it's a bad idea to "show the world our bad press" and "with some fixes here and there SXM will be just fine". And then he gives his negative opinion about the site.
I do understand that you were not happy with that and I also disagree with him, but words like "it's not so difficult, even for you" or "If you were not so illiterate" don't fit in my idea of intelligent debate.
So I don't understand the subject of this blog posting. It's not really an important issue for sxm is it?
Why a blog about JAP?
