有時傳達出自己的意念，就會有人跑來回應或辯論。這本是「無可厚非」的事。

一旦有一方因理曲搞起「人身攻擊」，或做不實的栽贓抹黑，問題就來了。

網誌或部落格的對象是公眾而不僅僅是自己寫爽的，還有著自己品牌之建立的功能。當謂方做抹黑動作時，就是要打擊其抹黑對象的形象與品牌，若不予理會，往往就讓對手達成目的，也就讓網路風氣日益沉淪了！

至於這一篇關於馬的文章，倒有點想說是軟腳馬幾乎成了公眾對馬的標籤時，對於想造就成勇腳馬的馬集團成員而言是一個重在背上的刺，因此，這一篇文章的出現，才會被吹捧一番。當然對於反對者或對其不利的聲音，自然會要去之而後快了。

美嘲諷雜誌：馬向中國求愛 有膽識

「心理牙線」 報導類似金酸莓

「心理牙線」（mental_floss）名稱的由來，是取「Dental floss」（牙線）的諧音，為二○○一年創刊的雙月刊雜誌。該刊網頁在「關於我們」做自我介紹時強調，該刊是給聰明人讀的，但也不能太聰明，因看完之後還得想一下，才會知道好笑的地方在那裡。該雜誌另一項財源收入，是販售印有搞笑諷刺標語的Ｔ恤。根據維基百科資料，該雜誌發行量約八千份。

該雜誌對自己的定調：

http://www.mentalfloss.com/magazine/whatismentalfloss.php

For the record: mental_floss magazine is an intelligent read, but not too intelligent. We're the sort of intelligent that you hang out with for a while, enjoy our company, laugh a little, smile a lot and then we part ways. Great times. And you only realize how much you learned from us after a little while. Like a couple days later when you're impressing your friends with all these intriguing facts and things you picked up from us, and they ask you how you know so much, and you think back on that great afternoon you spent with us and you smile.

And then you lie and say you read a lot.

Feed your Right Brain:

People are always dropping names in the arts. Whether it's a Ming vase or a furry tea cup, a Kubrick film or a seminal James Joyce book, there are certain artists, movements and masterpieces that have completely changed our world. But the fact is, the reasons why aren't always so obvious. Our RIGHT BRAIN section eases readers into the humanities by making art and literature accessible without needing to dumb it down. Want vivid descriptions? Want lush explanations? Want to know what makes The Thinker so great, and why Jackson Pollock isn't just some overrated paint-thrower? It's all right here: mental_floss experts are here to spill why that classic is a classic, and they're happy to give you every juicy detail and naughty back-story while they're at it.

Nurture your Left Brain:

Remember that time you were at that cocktail party and Stephen Hawking sidled up to you, and all he wanted to talk about was string theory? Or what about the time those irritating Watson and Crick characters kept asking you your thoughts on the Human Genome Project, and you had to stand by the celery tray all night long? Well, that's exactly why we created the LEFT BRAIN section. From the mysteries of black holes to paradigm-shifting discoveries, to how to conduct a heart transplant in 8 (not so easy) steps, mental_floss takes the most fascinating ideas and theories around, and delivers them in plain old, easy-to-understand English. Keeping up with eggheads has never been so easy.
