Blog 3

Today, for the first time, I observed that there was a woman who actually blogged on the Usenet group. The reason I knew this was because after her comment, she had a signature note at the bottom revealing her name. Also for the first time, there was an actual debate among people in the group. I hate to say this, but this female member actually turned the message content from the reputation of Josh Howard as he disrespected the national anthem by saying how he doesn't celebrate it because he is black, to a politcal debate about how the national anthem isn't American and then turned the topic to about the war. I think this could be a reason why people may disguise their gender because here is a woman that turns a basketball related story, into something completely differnet. Although the members of the group don't mind and actually apologize for what they said or even agree with her, what Josh Howard did was completely forgotten.
