Sensational headlines bring out worst in bloggers – talk show hosts
The talk show host said the negative comments is seen to him as “a certain lack of maturity that we have in our society”.
“And I am not saying that it’s a majority of our people who do it. I would certainly like to see a situation where people who disagree do so politely and with love because we ultimately want our brothers and sisters to go in the right direction,” the member of the People’s Patriotic Alliance (PPA) added.
Meanwhile, co-host Cromwell Smith urged the media fraternity to join the talk show hosts in understanding what they are trying to do for the community.
“Use that power not to harm our people, not to keep them in ignorance, not to keep them divided, not to keep them in hostility, but to advance them…the way we need to think in order for us to be successful as a country,” he stressed.
He noted that comments make lively debates, whether an individual is against or for a certain topic, and are crucial to the advancement of the Virgin Islands (VI).
But sometimes some bloggers take it to a personal level.
“When you make a comment that simply attack a person personally or call names or try to vilify another brother or sister you are really not making any contribution to the discussion. What you’re doing is creating a division and hostility, which is negative to the country,” Smith charged.
