Absurdity vs Absurdity - who is absurd and who is not??

Hi again all…
    TechCrunch takes on PayPerPost again! I wonder what TechCrunch has, against paid blogging!

    Well, PPP had released DisclosurePolicy.com today. TechCrunch thus claims this positive move to be “officially absurd”! They refer to Consumer Generated Advertizing as a virus…

    Interesting how people’s minds work! As Shakespeare truly said, “to each his own…“.
    But ofcourse, we PPP bloggers are using a different quote… “to kill or not to kill…“
   
    What TechCrunch has posted, as usual, lacks the amount of points required to really convince a user. Rather, they are giving silently, methods and ways by which a user silently moves over to supporting PPP. They are hanging onto rather precarious points, like a lost stallion in a strong debate.

    My opinion about DP is that its a pretty good move to ensure that bloggers stay credible. In fact, it increases trust, and popularity.

    Its easy for Arrington to comment like this, when he’s paid a six figure income monthly to blog… We are bloggers who represnt the blogging community. I myself - I want to cover up my hosting charges, and the rest, it goes to charity… I dont think thats such a bad thing to be paid for. I have identified local charities, whom I pay according to the BlogForPeace website moto - “towards peace, and towards charity, ahoy!”

    I have to round up my post here, as time calls, and time is money… But ladies and gentlemen, a real feast coming up, in my next post :) Pip pip….

    Just click the “Donate” button in the sidebar on your right. You will be taken to the PayPal website to complete the procedure. Or click on the button below -


    Please note that ANY amount donated goes first to filling up the hosting costs(which have been now filled up already) and the rest is distributed to charity, charitable organizations, or evolution of the cause(pending right now).

    Also note that your information is perfectly safe with us, and PayPal is a subsidiary of eBay. It uses 128 bit protection, so you dont have to fret about security while donating. You can use your credit card, bank account, PayPal account etc.

The BlogForPeace Disclosure Policy

Hey all,
    In a giant announcement today, PayPerPost(PPP), announced the release of a site called Disclosure Policy. This site features a Disclosure Policy Generator, badges, boards, blog etc. which were set up to promote the idea of DISCLOSURE among bloggers. This move has successfully quitened all those anti-PPP bloggers out there, who expressed their view against PPP posts. This is a pretty good concept, which will help bloggers like me, express our views, but still have a legal backing against critisizing fellow bloggers.

    Well, as eager and pro active as I am always, I tested the generator, and made a pretty good Disclosure for BlogForPeace which reads thus -
