The loss of a writer

Updated

In my defence of this "unfortunate" incident, I must say that I didn't know I have so much awe and authority over this poor girl which I have supposedly traumatized. Actually I should have known my hidden potential when xiao-mei-mei tend to stay about a 100m radius everytime I attempt to greet her. As for this, it was totally unintentional, and it was never my wish for her to close down the blog

If all of you know, I do believe in the power of the blogs and i understand it as a outlet for students to express their joys, fears and frustration. If you have been reading my other entry,
you would have known and understood my stance. But then again, I "misused" the power of the teacher. I just didn't realise the cliched phrase of "with great power come great responsibility"

Original
A casual joke and "evil" conspiracy brought about the demise of a talented writer. It is great pity that things had ended up this way, or should I say that I would never expected you to freak out this way. Ending it may seems like a escapist way to you but what you should do is to continue to write for those who care and want to know more about you.

If you know who I am talking about. Look here girl, You may think you are a lousy singer but you have been a wonderful writer.

And that is my 2 cents worth if you have any que -chens? :P

i do not feel that the student you mentioned is a bad singer at all.

in fact i feel by saying so you may have just offended her.

but everyone is entitled his/her own opinions so i hope she wouldn't take it too hard.

sometimes we say things that have an undesirable effect on others. it IS your fault, but i feel this has served as a good reminder that we should all be sensitive and think extremely carefully before we do/say certain things.

not everyone is thickskinned.

I totally agree with what you have said
Whether it is in the defence of your friend or whatever, I think this is just an issue that we all learn from the process
In the internet whatever that is shown can be looked at in a very different perspective.
Likewise the comments we made and posted.

first of all thanks for the comment again.
Firstly I did not attempt to justify my actions and I agree that I am at fault.
I totally agree with the whole issue that it was a case of a joke gone badly wrong, however to mean that I actually meant harm is in my defence, a bit harsh. I reiterated that we can all learn from the process. I never seek to trivalise it neither did I think the world revolve around me.
As I mentioned in my previous comment, like the comments we made and posted, it can be seen in very different perspectives. I guess mea culpa might have in such a way misunderstood what I mean by that.
