I refer to article: "PAP MP SEAH KIAN PENG AND THEONLINECITIZEN BLAME TRS FOR POSTING A RACIST ARTICLE"
Shutting down The Real Singapore is like shutting down Hardware Zone. It is amazing how people ignore the facts that articles are like Facebook posts or Twitter feeds that are open to public.
Do you shut down Singtel for allowing NAT? It causes confusion where multiple people share a single IP. How about Starhub and M1 too?

Earlier this year, a young kid made a bomb threat to bomb Marina Bay Sands on one of the articles on AsiaOne. Do you blame AsiaOne for not filtering the article and demand the shut down of the SPH-owned website?
That is exactly what those claiming to shut down TRS is exactly doing. Do you request to remove a post in question or pull down an entire service? It is like the alcohol ban. You punish everyone for someone else's fault.
And because some people are in favor of the move, does it mean it benefits the rest? How about the pro-PAP articles that we often see on TRS?
Just because one incident, there are people who are asking to send back the rest, and just because of one article, there are people who are asking to close down a service.
Think people. Aren't you the same as the ones you judged.
