Michael Swartz has a good post on his site summarizing the local blog scene. He is mainly focusing on the situation a couple of weeks ago when Dr. Jose Alvarado passed away. Unfortunately, a rush to judgement caused so much confusion then a back and forth between two bloggers must have gotten ugly.
At the time Dr. Alvarado passed away I was in Peru on a mission trip with 18 other people. It was a difficult time for many on our team who knew and worked with him. He and Randy Odom have been very helpful to us at ORBC over the years when planning mission trips to Peru. Not having consistent internet access was very troublesome for many who wanted up to date information.
In the future we hope that those dispensing information will act in a positive and responsible manner. It is not always important to be first, it is more important to be respectful and accurate when reporting information. Hopefully all have learned a lesson.
