This is a rather fortunate turn of events for Bro. Eli. Most sites are unfriendly and have tended to side with those at the end of the line. In OhMyNews International, for example, Arrabis followed Jane Abao`s article on Bro. Eli and posted several comments, also accusing Ms. Abao as covering for a criminal. In the next article that followed, Ms. Abao`s article was untouched by the editors and was not considered a regular submission.

A popular news site online deleted a hundred and one comments made against Bro. Eli Soriano recently after many months of posting. The deletion was coupled with a warning.

The comments made by one Rizalino L. Arrabis of the Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) against Bro. Eli were all personal attacks which were deleted by the moderators of NowPublic.com.

It may turn favorable for the members of COGI, but only for a few moments... because they will strike back with more comments... that is how they are. The devil will not stop, especially since he knows that he only has a little time left...  Well, our only hope is that the reason why the editors removed the negative comments is that they find it untrue and that they genuinely believe in the truth that our Bro. Eli is broadcasting over the web.  


to Arrabis: I hope you have seen the light so that you wont be left in the dark.  I believe the editors who did delete your postings are thinking very clearly-unlike you.  Gumising ka na!

truthoriented, Where is all this coming from and why now? Is there another source to confirm the claim?

First thing to do ALWAYS is to read the story first.

Here's an example of Rizalino L. Arrabis' work in OhMyNews International.

Please check on this in OhMyNews International under opinions.

You'll see the kind Arrabis is.

Since you have a lot of accusations made here and names published did you check with them or ask them to comment and give you their own side to the story before writing this Attack?

These are now what were left of the two articles after the deletions of Rizalino L. Arrabis' comments by NowPublic moderators -

Paschen,

The topic concerns deletion and the popular site named that did the deletion of negative comments is NowPublic.

Why do you call it attack? Which is the attack? Who is attacking whom?

Truthoriented merely linked the story.

You tone already presupposes much.

NowPublic has a no Flaming policy.  Personal attack are not allowed.  One may attack what the individual writes by commenting on their own views about the subject.  It is never appropriate on NowPublic to attack a writer.  I do not blame the staff for deleting any comment that is a personal attack.  This is a news site, not a blog.  There are standards.  Folks may wish to read the entire article the writer cites, as one could get the idea the writer is attacking NowPublic.  The article and the writer seem to be stating that NowPublic has a higher standard then other news sites and will enforce its no flaming policy when it gets out of hand.  My opinion is the No Flaming policy makes NowPublic one of the best news sites to communicates the many sides of an issue rather then personally attacking a writer.

A few helpful hints for approaching stories and comment threads on NowPublic, with some help from our friends at Wikipedia:

  • Be polite, civil and respectful;
  • Appreciate that text comes without tone, subtlety, facial cues or body language;
  • If you must argue, make it about facts and figures, not people and personalities (it’s the post, not the poster)
  • Avoid sweeping statements (ie: “All Americans are ignorant;” “Women are not as strong as men,” etc.);
  • Take the high road—if you’re being flamed, don’t be a baiter;
  • Recognize that you, too, have biases and bring them to light;
  • Be realistic—your opinion is not likely to change because of a comment, so why would you fight to change someone else’s?
