The Power Of Blogs??

Blogs like message board forums, and the ancestral usenet groups, are a one dimensional medium and people who think they make a difference are delusional. They are a safe and convenient way to vent our frustrations and kill time but the bottom line is they have no lasting impact on people in the real world and they are an avenue travelled by those who don't have the "balls" to stand up in public but would rather take cheap shots hidden by the cloak of anonimity.

Bloggers tear into vampire buddies

By ALAN CAIRNS

Montreal gunman Kimveer Gill and his like-minded goth "friends" on the Vampire Freaks website are getting a salvo of freakin' anger.

In the three days since Gill shot dead Anastasia DeSousa and wounded 20 others in a bizarre shooting rampage at Dawson College, hundreds of bummed-out bloggers have unleashed a whirlwind of fury.

They have vented their wrath at Gill by turning his doom-filled VampireFreaks.com goth journal inside out.

And they have lambasted some of Gills' chatline "friends" who supported his murderous act.

In one entry, a girl who goes by the name of Tammy wrote Gill "only did the shooting for the good."

"He really is known as the angel of death, but a good one," wrote Tammy.

Gill's friends were rudely taunted and cruelly ridiculed in an outpouring of grief, anger and venom.

"How could the shooting have been for the good ... you sick twisted little girl," one blogger told Tammy.

Another blogger told Tammy to "get some help" for being in love with a "cowardly pathetic lamer" 10 years her senior.

One blogger wrote that he knew DeSousa and she was "AN AMAZING person. Gill WASN'T".

"If you're sad this nutcase died ... seek help," wrote another.
