| how can any one really say that what one writes is 'drivel' or not interesting, different people have different views on what is quality...The way i see it, here on JU, (as long as you are within the TOS) you should be able to post what you want...its called free speech. |
JU isn't a democracy. Brad owns and runs this place, and what he considers 'quality' is what gets featured. It's his place, and he runs it the way he sees fit. He's VERY fair for the most part, and is very discerning. I know that a lot of people who write here have been featured at least once, and some of us get featured regularly. I don't write with the intention of getting featured or getting points. I write for me...points and features are just a welcome benefit.
Free speech is a constitutionally protected thing, but you have to remember this is a private site and Brad can allow/disallow whatever he wants. He's really good at letting people have their say, even going so far as to tolerate people calling him names and making snide/nasty comments about him......but this IS his site, and he makes the rules. If you don't like it or think that it's unfair, I'm sure there are many, many more blog sites that you could go set up shop at.
Sure, you can write what you want, as long as it's within the TOS. Just don't expect it to get featured.
