Comments Section Closed

"After months of trying to open doors of discussion, with tens of thousands of comments left on Raed in the Middle, I announce today the end of the comment section experience.

My decision came after weeks of trying to stop abusive comments, and to "police" the comments section in the help and support of Niki and Sahir.

Sahir sent us a link to a news story today that apparently had the final say for our comments section discussions...

Blogger Faces Lawsuit Over Comments Posted by Readers.

If this small Internet company can sue a blogger for comments left by a mad customer, if the "Iraqi" puppet government can kidnap my brother for two weeks to question him about some comments left our blogs, I don't want to know what the bush administration would do to me if someone left a comment on my blog saying "terrorism rocks" or some pro-violence statement...

..Welcome to the "global village" of fear."
Raed in the Middle

Hey Raed maybe they got the Idea from you. ( read the first comment) there's an old saying, "be careful what you wish for, you might just get it."
