3% for blog and 2% for comments

i had been commenting  on the blogs posted by my fellow participants. today i came to know that prof. sony had assigned 3% marks for blog and 2% maks for comments (from an unofficial source). again a process to marginalize the oppressed. it is the comments which give life to a dead posting. so why is the discrimination between  a posting and a comment? really i dont have any current issue that could be fabricated by the cac theories, so it is like a plea to weight the comments equal to postings. it always happen that in  collective action the leaders work but the benefits percolate to the larger community. i thought  this way and commented on the postings, but all in vain as posting (leader) still getting the larger benefit in terms of weightage. now i come to know why people dont get involved in collective action after participating in one? they still wait for the benefits to be percolated. so hoping for good grades in cac blogging ?

i cudnt av said it better myself. i dont know how come forced collective action can come to terms with true collective action. an induced or intimidated action will always fall short or lack the zeal of an action from within.
people should be free to express themselves in watever manner they choos. not commenting or posting a blog is also a way of expression and should not be penalized. giving more weightage to posts or to comments is again going against the very purpose of the course that we learnt.
