To follow up Unspun's post about SCTV's interview with Enda Nasution on the issue of 'blogwar' between Indonesia and Malaysia, I've uploaded the interview to my Youtube. Anyway, does the word 'blogwar' exist? I don't know for sure.. :-)
I personally do not want to respond to this 'blogwar' that was started after the controversial 'ihateindon' blog (I intentionally didn't put the blog's link). I care more on how to support our fellow Malaysian pro-democratic groups in their struggle against their authoritarian ruler (see my posts 'Democracy in Malaysia' part 1 and part 2).
Nevertheless, I really fancy the part when Enda said:
...I want to say that this [hatred] is not common in the blogger community. There are indeed some people who make ‘hatred blogs’ like that. But what I want to stress on is it is not appropriate for Indonesian bloggers to pay hatred with hatred. We have to show who has the bigger heart...
Good point! Bravo!
PS: for full video of the interview, see liputan6.
malaysia, blogwar

Bukan gw lho yang nyebut istilahnya, tapi SCTV, hehe.. Thank you juga, krn sdh merepresentasikan para bloggers Indonesia dengan smart and elegan.
Mana ada demokrasi di Malaysia ? Tapi sebaliknya, apa sih manfaat demokrasi Indonesia di Indonesia ? Absurd!

Bung Raja Huta, apa manfaat demokrasi di Indonesia?
Manfaatnya, paling tidak, adalah anda bisa secara bebas protes tentang manfaat demokrasi di Indonesia secara terbuka (spt via blog ini) tanpa disensor atau takut ditangkap dan diculik seperti Orde Baru menculik kawan-kawan aktivis yang sampai sekarang belum kembali.
Oke memang ada manfaatnya, tapi cuma sebatas pemuasan narsisme. Kebpebasan itu tidak membebaskan, itu maksudku pren.
btw salut untuk keyakinan dan keteguhanmu. mudah-mudahan tidak lelah dan jenuh sendiri, lalu menjadi pragmatis ketika sudah kasep.
trims untuk pertukaran linknya.
Merdeka!
