What articles and authors get mentioned is not intended to be based on any sort of subjective sense of "fairness".
The points system exists to reward those users who have created blogs that have attracted readerships on their own for whatever reasons.
Write an interesting, relevant article, the kind of thing that will attract other people to JU, and it'll get featured. It's really that simple. The idea that everyone should get featured regardless of article quality reminds me of some 'politically correct' nonsense. That's like letting everyone who tries out for a soccer team on the team to play regardless of their ability....that's a sure fire way to lose a match - you've got your star striker warming the bench so that Joe Schmo from down the street who can't kick a ball to save his life can get some pitch time in the name of 'fairness'. It's silly, just like giving everyone who blogs here a 'feature' spot would be silly.
LW's doing her thing in her own way. At least she's trying to back up her claims with evidence.....unlike some folks who make the wildest claims and who never, ever seem to have anything to back said claims up with.
JU isn't a democracy. Brad owns and runs this place, and what he considers 'quality' is what gets featured. It's his place, and he runs it the way he sees fit. He's VERY fair for the most part, and is very discerning. I know that a lot of people who write here have been featured at least once, and some of us get featured regularly. I don't write with the intention of getting featured or getting points. I write for me...points and features are just a welcome benefit.
Free speech is a constitutionally protected thing, but you have to remember this is a private site and Brad can allow/disallow whatever he wants. He's really good at letting people have their say, even going so far as to tolerate people calling him names and making snide/nasty comments about him......but this IS his site, and he makes the rules. If you don't like it or think that it's unfair, I'm sure there are many, many more blog sites that you could go set up shop at.
Sure, you can write what you want, as long as it's within the TOS. Just don't expect it to get featured.
What the hell are you talking about, Lucas? I didnt understand your sentence. Try again, this time without all the dot dot dots and the brackets (that's English for parnethesis).
RH didn't have 'strange views'. He was simply an inflammatory idiot, a person who talked to hear the sound of his own voice.
I've re-read your sentence three times now and I still don't get what you're trying to say.
