Are you man enough to take my challenge?

I am greatly saddened by the amount of negative, expletive, sexist, racist, discriminatory, violent comments posted on KI-Media.

But, before going further, let me reply to a few of questions asked of us first:

1- Is Ms. Theary Seng involved in the daily operation of KI-Media? The answer is NO. Like many others who sent us their op-eds, opinions, etc… to post, Ms. Seng is kind enough to share with our readers some of the articles that she found interesting and that could be of interest to some, if not all, of us. However, that does not mean that she is part of our team, even though we wouldn’t mind seeing activists like her joining our team, but that is just a wishful thinking. Based on perusing some of the negative comments on Ms. Seng, it appears that even the various photos we posted of her are topic of irritation to some. On the other hand, not too long ago, a reader posted a comment berating Dr. Peang-Meth for always posting the same photo of his with his article. What this reader did not seem to realize is that (1) Dr. Peang-Meth has nothing to do with KI-Media’s posting, and that (2) our posting of the only photo of his is the only recourse we have since we do not have any other photo of him. Personally, I am very puzzled and dismayed by such reactions.

2- Is KI-Media merely a nest for opposition followers to come out and curse the government? By the look of it, KI-Media seems to attract a large audience of government critics and detractors simply because our comment section is not moderated. Why didn’t we remediate this issue? The answer is very simple: we simply do not have the staff necessary to do the policing and cleaning up of the comments posted by our readers. Look at it this way: most of us are students who still have to attend classes or who have to work at a fulltime job to earn a living etc…, therefore KI-Media is just a hobby, albeit a passionate one, for all of us, therefore, we simply cannot afford to spend large amount of time policing the comment section. Without an income to provide us with our daily bowl of rice, it would be impossible for us to offer the free service of KI-Media.
