Using of content on the blog...

I have three major things to talk about for the time being.
The first one is on the school's decision to make the secondary 4 seniors whom have already stepped down from duty to wear their insignia till the end of the year.
The second one is on the heavily ignorant spammers in the post "On servant leadership" and the flame war that had occured on "On our deputy", which resulted in me banning all comments for that particular post.
The third issue is on the using of contents on my blog for other purposes other then to read it. This is particularly relevant for certain issues as some person in the school had mentioned my blog to a particular teacher.

I'll be starting from the third issue and proceed to the second issue before going into a lengthy discussion on the first issue, which I am preparing a draft for and will most likely be completed when I have the time to do so. I am hoping that I can be able to finish off the draft before the prelims, but I think that would be too much to expect from me.
The above is the plan for the next few post, so if you aren't interested, you can don't visit my blog for the next few weeks or so.

Anyhow, I am talking about using of contents on my blog because a couple of my friends realised that people are quoting my blog to teachers. The incident went like this:

Everyone who has been paying attention to my blog, should vividly remember the small war in the comments section which had a lot of things to do with the interact club. It was an interesting comments flinging session, with internal conflicts being discussed on a non-interactors blog so that the whole community who reads this blog knows.

YP was studying in the library when he heard something along the lines of "A person's blog called discmon...". He was shocked and proceeded to find the source of the voice. He realised that there was this boy who was mentioning it to Mrs Chan. Nothing wrong with it, in fact, I'm not unhappy that the teachers know about the blog as teachers already know about the blog. (Mr Faizad is a good example)

But when contents of my blog is used, I got worried that people used only part of the content so that they can use my blog content to either a) get me into trouble or b) serve their cause because parts of it fits it...
So, I hope that all contents on my blog would be used in the most complete form. For example, if I had written that X is good and bad, you should not say that:"Discmon said that X is bad, we should stay away from him..."

Using all contents in its most complete form ensures that what all bloggers have written will not be misunderstood by others when they only see part of it and not the whole complete post. This is my only request for all people who quotes this blog, use all content in its most complete form.
Thank you.

The other two issues will be dealt with subsequently.

Update: I thought you all should realise by now, all comments on all my posts will now need to go through me before they are posted. My reasons for quoting them as spam is valid, considering that it is group spamming...

If one person start spamming and everyone else join in, it is considered as spamming. Don't think that simply because you only posted 1 comment, you aren't considered spamming. Spamming with others = spamming...

Unless of course, you are talking about the same point, trying to support the person's stand... but that doesn't include trying to irritate the owner of this blog by continuously asking him the ridiculously redundant question of what I am going to do to you if you continue to spam my blog...
I know that the fifty reasons thing is a fun thing. I started it cause I wanted to emphasise somethings, not to make fun or irritate others along the way.
So, stop it. Mass crapping in class is ok, but on my blog, keep it to about 1 post. And when I mean one post, I really mean ONE post. Not ONE post per PERSON. Thanks.

It seemed that one of them had a particular interest in hikari. So much so that this guy keeps bringing up his web name even though it is not relevant to topic.

Somewhere.

i dont think 'If one person start spamming and everyone else join in, it is considered as spamming. Don't think that simply because you only posted 1 comment, you aren't considered spamming. Spamming with others = spamming...' is an apology
i really did tell them to spam to tell you to go fourbollywood leh neither did they do so
so in conclusion, you didnt apologise and insist that you are right
what big and stubborn ego
ex-SC!
scouts!

It isn't an apology...
