Der, I don't mean to be nasty here. I'll give you a better example. I had almost forgotten about it. No wonder.

Some guys, sometime ago, started a project of an alternative to the [red dominated] wikipedia. They called it Metapedia. If you want my opinion, they couldn't have taken a better name.

Anyway, it looked like an excellent project in my opinion. I agreed that I would organize the Spanish chapter. Unfortunately, I didn't have time for it and, when I went back to it I found over 700 "articles" (to give them a name) in Spanish. Now there are over 1,100. But don't take my word for it, and see it for yourself: Portada - Metapedia

As I had a look at the list of articles, what I found left me speechless. Just gibberish about Nazi, WN, and other oh-so-relevant stuff including God knows which battles in El Chaco War (South American stuff) and a few names of known Freemasons as heroic patriots from over there. Great.

As far as I'm concerned, I've never been there. I don't know what other language chapters are like. I've asked a few people, and some are better than others. Or the opposite, if you like.

Well, if you've had a look at it, would you say that it is serving a purpose, namely the purpose of offering an alternative to wikipedia? I would say no. Worse, if I were asked to compare I would have to admit that the purpose is defeated.

And I don't know if any of the other language chapters there is good enough to make a difference. But if it is, its purpose would be defeated in much part, because of the environment with which it is identified. Think of all the time and work, from the people who may have done things well, because others simply don't care.

By the way, isn't this comparable to society? Draw your own conclusions and be consequent with what you believe. I don't need you to tell me what your conclusions are. I might guess them sometime.

And I'm not putting you at their level. If I thought that you are there, we wouldn't even be having this argument. If we are having it, it is because I care. And, from what I've observed, I'd say that you care too.

Oh... don't tell me that you think my posts are unreasonable.
Not really. We haven't had time to exchange nearly a part of thoughts what I would like to. But from what little I've seen, you are not unreasonable.

Ok now seriously, like I've said above I would not apply for a Stirpes blog before hand because I know that I am not completely in line with the project, his is not to say that I don't agree with 90% of the contents of this board but it's true that I do hold some views which are not shared by everyone here, of course I will contribute as best I can: if I find something interesting and worth reading I will not hesitate on posting it, but mainly I am here to discuss and foremost learn.
I'm not going to review my own posts now, but whatever I've said it must be understood as follows: my wish is to find that point of convergence where you can integrate or accommodate into the project. Not to marginalize and set you apart from it.

Anyway blogging should only be for those with something interesting to say which is an unlikely thing at a young age like mine whether or not one is 100% in line with the Stirpes project, that’s why my general view on blogging isn't at all positive, there are millions of blogs out there which are nothing more than a waste of virtual resources and who is to say a good poster isn't a bad blogger.
I don't agree with you. Right now blogging is a good tool for broadcasting, if done correctly. And you don't have to be a pro. What is a pro if not someone who started from zero? You learn as you walk.

And the forums blogs can prove a good entry level for a next level of blogging, or even article or news writing.

Let me know when you are ready to come out of the closet.
