I read a blog this week that has prompted me to do some thinking about blogging - and more specifically - about the blogs I read and support. The internet is a strange and wonderful place - home to a very diverse community of people. The question I had after reading the blog - is our "community" inadvertently supporting the wrong things? Are we providing a platform for bloggers that unwittingly gives them validation for doing the wrong thing?
By now, you'll all likely have read the tale of Lacey Spears. The internet news has dubbed her the "Mommy Blogger Killer". Undoubtably, given the information in the news, Ms. Spears has some fairly complex mental health issues. Leading up to January, 2014, it has been suggested that Ms. Spears made her son sick, and eventually killed him in order to win the favour of the Internet community.
