Is there a Doctor in the house?

I'm not really a blogger as such. I'm not sure that I could spend my days posting my innermost thoughts, concerns and ideas on the internet for all to see but that doesn't mean that I dislike those that do.

One such person who I had been following recently was Dr Rita Pal. Dr Pal had created a blog that I enjoyed reading from time to time. It was controversial to say the least. Whilst I didn't always agree with everything the good Doctor had to say, I admired her tenacity in the face of her "wanna-be" oppressors. One, in particular had set up their own hate based blog which did nothing but attack Dr Pal in the way that you would expect from a grade school student. I'm not sure that I was impressed with the level of maturity that site exhibited. Thankfully it seems to have disapeared.

Of bigger concern is the fact that Dr Pal's own blog also seems to have disapeared. From what I had read, Dr Pal had been previously stalked and numerous derrogatory articles had been posted about her. I only hope these did not scare her off. The world needs people like Dr Pal to ensure we don't forget to question the world around us. So what if we disagree with her sentiments? That isn't the point. I think too many people accept what they are told and don't learn to question or explore their own ideas. Dr Pal was a great example of someone who not only explored her ideas but published them in a way that most people would be afraid to.

Hopefully one day in the near future Dr Pal will read this posting and realise that her thoughts helped keep the balance and that she is needed on the world wide web.

I, for one, have really missed her postings!
