		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Is there any threat for those who like me write under their nicknames?&lt;/blockquote&gt;
it&#039;s technically possible. there are rumours that emails are monitored. in addition, they can trace IPs. To improve security, it&#039;s better to use cafenets.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Do you use (or do you know Iranians using) malicious/anonymity proxy server?&lt;/blockquote&gt;
there are several ways to bypass filters: proxy servers, VPN and some softwares (such as Freegate freely provided by VOA for Iranian users).
&lt;blockquote&gt;And what can happen to you if someone might notice you’re writing here? &lt;/blockquote&gt;
I personally try to be careful in what I write for I write under my real identity. Recently Revolutionary Guards&#039; office of Cyber Crimes issued a warning... surely some bad things would happen to people whose ideas are found to be provacative by officials. in past years several bloggers have been arrested and sentenced to prison, etc, for what they posted in their blogs (some of them for sexual content, some others for political and reliugious reasons).</description>

		<description>Mohammad,

just two more questions: Do you use (or do you know Iranians using) malicious/anonymity proxy server? And what can happen to you if someone might notice you&#039;re writing here?

All the best,

Martin</description>

		<description>Martin,

&lt;blockquote&gt;can you blog all this from Iran?&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Yes, I blog from Iran. Censorship is mainly about Persian sites and some famous english ones. there  is a so-called &quot;intelligent filtering&quot; that analyzes texts (finding keywords, etc) and blocks some sites. MEY is not blocked yet.

&lt;blockquote&gt;and, if you know, how come all these amateur internet videos of the protests into the world wide web. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
people record an event with cellphone and send the file to some sites (such as VOA, BBC, etc) or friends abroad and they publish it. (such as &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.4shared.com/file/113085919/5664a7c9/_video_videophp_v89928823259_refnf.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;this one&lt;/a&gt;, reportedly Neda Salehi, who was shot in the chest and died right where she was shot on saturday demonstrations in Tehran.)</description>

		<description>Mohammad,

can you blog all this from Iran? I thought the internet censorship wouldn&#039;t allow such texts with keywords like &quot;Revolution&quot; or &quot;Green Wave&quot;. Please tell me something about the way you&#039;re blogging and, if you know, how come all these amateur internet videos of the protests into the world wide web.

Thanks,

Martin</description>

		<description>Hamid,

&lt;blockquote&gt;explain to me how they counted 40 million ballots in 2 hours?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

it&#039;s technically possible. counting the votes in a polling station doesnt take much time. and for this election, an online system was devised so that the officials could send the results directly to the ministry of interior affairs once the counting was done.

let me make one point; I&#039;;m not here to justify hardliners&#039; ideas. i just wanna explain views of both sides, and surely I have my own thoughts which are not conforming to state-sponsored propaganda.

&lt;blockquote&gt;if that was the case you wouldn’t see this many people nationwide in the streets clashing with police.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

the unrest is mainly in Tehran right now. and you know, Mousavi won more votes in Tehran than Ahmadinejad did.

&lt;blockquote&gt;this is nothing compared to whats to come...&lt;/blockquote&gt;

exactly. at least 10 people were killed in yesterday demonstration in Tehran, according to state tv.</description>
