No, it's mainly the American Republican Party and conservatives.
Also, naïve voters.helloAs opposed to what may I ask?

"An brony discussion that was weaved with anti-brony posts ended in a ban for Blockland member Tom after the brony supporter posted what was deemed as a researchographic image."

Really? Even on your blog too?

Given you weren't too happy with me complaining about your poor grammar I've gone and found something else to complain about instead. I've just tried to read a few of your articles ... this stuff reads like it was written by some kid trying to emulate real life journalists (which is weird because I know you're a professional journalist). The language is all wrong and inappropriate.

I have another issue with the "stories" you "break" as listed here:

Interesting stories we broke in the past:

BREAKING NEWS: RTB Services Go Down, Blockland Servers Drop
RateBlocklanders Forced to Improve Security After Password Scandal
Its Official: 1 Million Off-Topic Posts
RTB Wiki Shutdown Permanently: "No one is asking us to do crap!"
CityRPG & ZAPT v3 "Indefinitely Suspended"

How is any of this news? Blockland servers down? I think people will know that by the time they get pointed to your blog. 1 million off-topic posts? That's news? What makes it "official"? You looking at the post counter and saying "it's official"? Was there ever any doubt about the reliability of the post counter? Can I look forward to a "BREAKING NEWS: national socialist POST COUNTER SCANDAL REVEALED" article on how the post counter has been lying/burning jews? I don't understand.

All of this stuff you can find out by just being on the forums. I don't really get what your blog is providing beyond some horrific "opinion" pieces. You seem to be trying to engineer fairly innocent and explainable situations into huge scandals of epic proportions - fear mongering is not a style of writing you should be aspiring towards, and also doesn't work too well when you're reporting on a lego game.

Colten is only pointing out how much of a pompous rooster you are, and he's doing a damn fine job.

exactly lol. sheath being trolled so hard from all around and he apparently has no idea lol.
people cant even goof on his handicapped blog without him thinking its constructive criticism.

[Wesley Williams]

How many pages is this in one day? Goodness.
One of the few times I've seen Icy being trolled hard from all around.

And I thought this was a blockland blog

I read the article and I was like, "Badspot is about to get screwed on sales."

[Bisjac]

news is supposed to inform. this is all forum gossip and crap we all know long before we would ever go to a blog.
the blog is like a single post from a single blockland member. why go elsewhere to read another opinion that the jerk couldn't just post in the respectable topics here?

i want to hear more from icy about the future of the news media. how professional journalists use internet blogs. convince us a little more how your blog isnt a piece of stuff.
hes said it all before, i need it again i guess. because im not understanding so far.
