Russell Crowe, Feeling Used, and Personal Integrity - Comments Page 2

I have been waging a war within myself for a while now: nagging questions of matters fraught with heaviness and importance. What really is our individual and collective purpose in the world and how can we make an indelible mark that both portrays our lightness and darkness with truth and honesty? More specifically, how do you teach your children to recognize assholes when they encounter them? And even more to the point, how do you teach them not to become one of those assholes?…

    ummm Mary Anne....you are talking about the "comment policy"...which is far different from the editorial policy of the actual Articles

    see the difference?

    as for anything written about Crowe in an Article, that falls under public figure laws, which make for different rules surrounding slander and libel...

    last bit...note the Author of the original article, clue for you...perhpas the wife of the man who owns this website? i would guess she is well aware of any Policy...

    about Crowe, i have no opinion , or interest...i noticed the comment

    just sharing...

    Excelsior?

    Rereading this series of comments, something occurs to me......have I wandered into a coffe klatch sort of a thing, semi-private, a cosy bunch of friends doing their thing on the 'net? If so, I apologize. I didn't mean to intrude. I'm used to the very public places where there are lots of varying responses.

    Re my comment about the policies: I actually kinda figured the policies were different; my comment about the inequities I perceived was perhaps blurry......and slander and libel laws were not in my mind at all. Common decency would put paid to any of those kinds of concerns.

    I came upon the marx article, and yellow journalism makes me see red, so I googled it and visited some of the places around the net that were discussing it....this one was mentioned at a Crowe fansite. I'm surprised you didn't have more Crowe fans down on you.....Perhaps they caught the flavor of the blog more quickly than I.
