Petition wants to ban celeb blogger for 'racial slur'

JUST when you thought there was only so much controversy Wendy Cheng, aka Xiaxue, could get embroiled in, the ante gets upped.
.
Now there is an online petition to — of all things — ban the celebrity blogger from Orchard Road.
.
That's on top of accusations flying around the blogosphere that she had impersonated a fellow blogger to start a hate-site against another popular blogger, and then used her position as editor of blog aggregator tomorrow.sg to remove unflattering posts about herself.
.
The petition at www.petitiononline.com/BanXX, which had 157 signatures as of yesterday evening, reads: "This is a petition to ban Wendy Cheng, of xiaxue.blogspot.com, from public places such as Orchard Road and for the public media to stop publicising her site …
.
"We do not wish to see her get away with such mindless remarks, blatantly and arrogantly criticising other races, especially when her blogsite is hugely popular with 50,000 hits a day."
.
The remarks, of course, referred to Miss Cheng's controversial blog post about foam-spraying molesters who struck at the New Year's Eve celebrations on Orchard Road.
.
The post, which targeted foreign workers as the culprits, drew over 400 comments from other bloggers, most of whom blasted her comments as being racist rants.
.
When Miss Cheng followed up by arguing that she was not a racist, this prompted a flood of 600 more comments.
.
But there was more furore to come, when allegations flew that Miss Cheng

had hijacked the identity of blogger behind a Xiaxue hate-site, Xialanxue, to start — with two others bloggers — a hate-site against blogger Blinkymummy.
.
And how was she found out?
.
Blinkymummy (blinkymummy.blogspot. com) points out that Miss Cheng had forgotten to change her display name back to "Xiaxue" when she went back to posting on her own site — leaving two tell-tale entries in the name of "Xialanxue".
.
The real Xialanxue (xialanxue.blogspot. com) fairly sizzles: "If I had not discovered the hate-site myself and spoke up about it, I am sure her plan of framing me to get back at Blinkymummy might have just worked."
.
Irate blogger Starryluvly proceeded to post Xialanxue's expose of Miss Cheng on Tomorrow.sg, which was published — and then removed by the editors.
.
And since Miss Cheng was one of the 11 editors of the site, hackles of course were raised.
.
The situation was exacerbated when Miss Chen went on to remove negative posted comments about herself.
.
Blogger MercerMachine writes of this: "My opinion of Xiaxue couldn't have gotten any lower, but Tomorrow's editors' actions and inactions in regards to Xiaxue's Durai-esque blunder make me question whether Tomorrow is worth my continuing support."
.
Miss Cheng has since apologised for removing the unflattering posts from Tomorrow.sg.
.
But according to a fellow editor, Mr Miyagi, aka Benjamin Lee, she has "neither denied nor admitted to" impersonating another blogger to start a hate-site against Blinkymummy.
.
So why all this criticism and soap operatics over one blogger, the uninitiated might ask?
.
Perhaps a clue to the answer might be found in blogger 7-8's post on "Mr Wang Says So" 's blog (commentarysingapore. blogspot.com).
.
"None of the above would matter very much if she wasn't an icon for the Singaporean bloggers," 7-8 said, referring to a list he made of Xiaxue's "errors".
.
"What we are dealing with here is not an unfortunate person being castigated for one error, but rather somebody who is unrepentant, recalcitrant, and giving all of us a bad name."
.
To date, Miss Cheng herself shows no signs of slowing down. A recent post from her blog reads: "For the last time, if you don't like my blog, do not read it."
