Xiaxue blog - a case of pot calling the kettle black

I happened to click on XiaXue blog and found it hypocritical on her article about school abusing their position of authority, posted September 28 2005. [Link http://xiaxue.blogspot.com/2005/09/fucking-unfair.html] It is hypocritical because she says schools abuse their power when they suspend students who blog unkind remarks about their teachers or school. While I may not be entirely agreeable with what the schools do, I can understand why they do it. I am saying XiaXue is a hypocrite because if you were to click to leave her a comment, out comes a nice dialog box with one note being, and I quote, "Trolling, spamming and comments that are defamatory will be deleted and their ip addresses banned". Is it any different from what the schools are doing?

Here is the scenario. A student wrote "Frustrated old spinster. Can't stand to see attractive girls"? on her blog. School found out. Suspend the student and off she goes for councilling.

I write a comment in her blogsite. Nothing good to look at in her photo (Don't want to sound too harsh!). She found out. Fits her "Trolling, spamming and comments that are defamatory will be deleted and their ip addresses banned". My post gets deleted and my ip addresses banned!

Two scenarios but one similar solution. Both started with "not-so-nice" comments. Both got found out. Both gets deleted and banned! Pot calling the kettle black! At least the school sends the student for counseling much like what she said - "If you don't like what they wrote, you bloody go confront them, and clear things up - like what normal people do." - but in a less combative and rebellious way.

In ending I would like to quote XiaXue again for her benefit - "Don't fucking abuse your position and power."
