attr_accessor :content, :appid

It will define the getter and setter methods as well as the instance variable at runtime, quicker than writing out that repetitive code.

class Tagger
attr_accessor :content, :app_id

Also, there is no need for an empty initialize method - just leave it out if you aren’t doing any initialization.

Check out the String#join method too:

keywords = data.join(”, “)

doesn’t have the problem of an extraneous “,” after the last element.

I think this is a very important issue that most bloggers and website authors don’t fully understand.

As he says, the longer it displayed the more damage it does, but how much faith do you have in the Thai legal system.
Do you think a case such as this would have been pushed through fast since it deals with a topic that is a currently debated issue here. When you consider that the Thai legal system is known for long, protracted legal cases (unless your husband was the PM) that can last for years.
In the short, Sajal you were right to remove the comments if you thought it would do you or your business harm, especially with the Thai government so willing to block websites.

Just today our site received a very threatening comment - with a threat against another commentator. Threatening involving certain authorities and such.

It’s anarchy out there in the blogsphere. Everything seems to be possible and allowed.

The comment was pure slander and not publishable.

Anyway Sajal, nothing to fear if you publish factually correct work.

Let know if you heared/hear again of that threatening lady.

I think waiting for something in writing, as Ray says, could lead to more trouble. Let’s say I wrote something defematory about you on my website. You would want it removed immediately, and the longer it stays up the more damage you could claim has been caused to your reputation.

I have experience of both sides of this. I’m a blogger and I have also asked for comments to be removed that are factually wrong about one of the magazines my company publishes. Those comments were damaging, and if the author had not removed them I would certainly have had to consider some kind of action to have them removed and/or claim for damages.

I’ve blogged about your case today because, like you, I think this is a very important issue that most bloggers and website authors don’t fully understand.

Unless it is in writing you should probably ignore it, and if it does come in writing at least you will have waited until then, rather than bowing to pressure as others have. If you are citing your sources in the article does that then pass the blame onto them?

Well done for making a stand.
