As the author of the post I am inevitably subjective simply because selected posts will tend to be what I feel is a topic that was interesting based on certain x-factor criteria and what I feel will be interesting to many. I’m sorry you did not like Roba’s post but I felt it was a revealing aspect of our culture and I think others enjoyed it as well. This is where the subjectivity and points of view are involved.

I cannot possibly read every post on the Jordanian blogosphere and I wish I could because I know there are many deserving posts out there. But I try and include as many bloggers as possible within the time limits I have to do so.

Also, every week is different. It all depends on the week and what bloggers have to offer. Moreover, this first post was meant to be a broad look at February before getting into posts that are a bit more comprehensive due to their more frequent and thus more expanded nature.

If you have any links to posts you feel are worthy feel free to email them to me at nasnas27 at hotmail dot com throughout the week and I will take a look and take them into consideration.

Lastly, I do not know what you meant earlier by saying “the little brush we had” and what that has to do with this post. I thought you might clarify that in your second comment but you didn’t.

In any case thank you for your input. I will take it into consideration.

I think and I’m a very close follower of the Jordanian blogospher that you have left out so many things (and that’s human of course), but if you have noticed some of the links have nothing but a single picture, some have not so interesting ideas. Even if they’re talking about “Zorabeh” and come from someone like Roba, there are plenty of blogs that had more valuable content, and were worthy of addition or even mentioning and if you’re interested I can give you a full list

Tell me that you were fair and balanced and I will believe you. Tell me you had no personal interests here, and I will believe you.

One thing I would have loved to see here, is my effort to promote rationalism when people decide they want to rally for a matter, the same term (cool) was later used by N@simjo. I just didn’t feel like having a heads on collision on the Dibbin case

At any rate, you’re free to write whatever you like, but when you have such a broad title and restrict the Jordanian blogosphere to these few, expect someone to shout … BS!

I have been a GV author for almost one year now and I do not believe I’ve engaged in any shameless promotion as I am allowed, as far as I know, to insert links to my own posts as I am a part of the same blogosphere I am rounding up. It is my way of being engaged with my environment.

I do try an remain objective as best as I can. With the Palestinian posts I am forced by nature to take a position, one that I feel is respective of that blogosphere. With the start of these Jordanian posts and this specific one in particular, I provided readers with links to both sides of each ‘controversy’ and I don’t believe I took a position in that matter.

If you have any qualms or specific concerns you would like to address to me personally or perhaps require further clarification, feel free to email me or drop a comment on my blog.

Thank you again for taking the time to comment.
