Rabbi Mark Dratch of JSafe, wrote an article in The Jewish Week on the question "Are Blogs Kosher?" His important article covers the issue from various perspectives - reminding bloggers, readers and the community alike that allegations, hiding information and Jewish law all factor into the mix.
Here is one quote from near the end of the article:
The rabbinic bon mot, “All Jews are responsible one for another,” is more than just a nice slogan; it is a religious obligation. Judaism holds all of its adherents — clergy and laity without distinction — accountable for the spiritual and physical well-being of others. This is most certainly true when it comes to our children. They depend on us to care for them, to protect them and to nurture them. Not only do we have an obligation to them as humans deserving safe and secure lives, but as Jews in whose hands lay the destiny of our people. Safety? Security? We owe our people and future no less. We owe each and every son and daughter no less—and much, much more.
Do you agree with him?

I think that regardless of whether you are jewish, christian or pagan...that rule applies. Do unto others, treat others as you would, family supports family...
He is consistently a good man, and generally the ONLY MAN to speak out in our community.
