"While it is possible that Ye has taken some illegal substance that has gone undetected thus far, there are a few variables that have flown under the radar."
Exactly what do you mean by this sentence? Trying to sneak in a doubt, is it? Get real. We're not that dumb and know that Ye is clean, so there should not be any aspersion or tricky writing necessary to cast any more unnecessary doubts. We'll regret in years to come for not celebrating this remarkable achievement from a girl who grew from 1.6m to 1.72m in two years. So, we know how she achieve those remarkable times, cos she's a prodigy, that's why, just like Mozart or Beethoven. We don't go asking why but just enjoy the music, as we should just enjoy Ye's remarkable performance in the pool.
Hi Hamish McKenzie,
I read with interest your article and especially that part about "cyber mob lynching". Yet, I do like to put in proportion and perspective about the tradition of online lynch mob, and draw on what had happened at Youtube some months back in March 2012, about Google-Youtube allowing online lynch mob at a global scale from Invisible Children's Kony2012 [ Watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4MnpzG5Sqc ], which some of us had written to Youtube to complain that the video obviously is a clear example of cyber-mob lynching on a global scale, as Youtube's reach is global and Facebook's reach just as well, and also written to Twitter and Facebook to curtail such sensationalizing and emotional rallying of masses against one single person, even though he's on the ICC list, but social media should not be a platform for politicizing and focal point for online lynch mob war-cry, which Kony2012 was expected to achieve, but worse, it's asking for donations while doing all that. Yet, Google-Youtube, Facebook, Twitter did nothing to take down the video and its shenanigans and in the process, Obama went to Congress to have 1,000 army advisers placed in Congo under AFRICOM. This is a FACT.
This is what I call "online cyber mob lynching" taken to its highest devious and political level, yet with the approval of US-based social media platforms. Need I say more? I'm totally appalled by it but what can I do? Not much, I guess.
