Restriction

Implemented a subnet wide IP ban on my site. Tired of hiding posts on my blog due to the Classic SN Hero syndrome. If that doesnt help, next time I'll password protect the blog too or just delete the entire thing.

To Fanny,

I'm not too worried about 'reputation' per se.. If people want to talk about me, they will. Good and Bad. Nobody can stop them. I've been through too many situations where I turn out to be the bad guy even when i am doing good. Its a sad truth. People believe what they want to believe and nothing can change that. I cant be bothered to do that. I say what I think is right.. sometimes it can be sarcastic or too in your face.. yes, I do agree.. however, it is always the truth. Some people can't deal with truth and prefer to live in a cloud of dreams.. that's their perogative. Fortunately, our professional reputation is based on our work ethics and responsibility to our clients.. its based on what we provide to our clients in terms of product and service quality.. NOT based the comments/heresay/talk of people who are NOT my past or current clients.. I believe I provide a honest and reliable service to my clients and maintain a 99% (if not 100%) satisfaction rate each time giving my 110%. That is what I believe my 'reputation' is based on.

I thank you for your input but must maintain my stance on the matter. I believe if a person really wants to help, he/she should do so WITHOUT extorting any benefits in return.. that is the meaning of the word 'help'. Anything other than that is merely a sale of goods and services where consideration is exchanged for a price or benefit. There are many out there who seem blinded by this and hence retaliate by attacking me on my own blog.. maybe my words penetrated a nerve.. maybe they realise it is the truth.. BUT you are right.. its none of my concern.. especially since it doesnt concern any of my own countrymen hence the reason why I removed the post.

Anyway, congratulations on your upcoming wedding.. I hope I'd be able to cover your wedding for you, but at this point, as with all the others, only the early bookings will secure. Meanwhile, happy planning :)
