| The Phantom of the Blog |
| Wednesday, March 29, 2006 |
In recent weeks, months, maybe even years there have been a large number of anonymous blogs. The "outing" of these bloggers in the real world has been known to wreak havoc in their lives and because of this bloggers prefer to continue their writings and rantings anonymously.
There are also those that reason against them such as Horst Prillinger. It is true as Horst points out that those who post anonymously feel "protected" and therefore will unleash their inner animal. Sometimes this can be good and sometimes this can be bad. It also can be true that anonymous bloggers do not need to apologize for the things they blog about because they can never be wrong. Additionally, as if this wasn't enough, the most interesting things about blogs are the people behind them and their stories. Yes... I am not a big fan of anonymous blogs.
The question undoubtedly being asked is why is this blog anonymous? Well, because I was foolish. In the heat of passion emboldened by the prescence of gnarling alcohol, I did something very foolish. In fact I did something so foolish, I am so embarassed to say what I did, that I won't. Maybe anonymity won't be so bad afterall.
The bottom line is that I was effectively exiled from the blogosphere under stipulations of an agreement. So why am I here? Have I no honor? Does my word mean nothing? I am an honorable person and would honor the agreement on my side had the other side been so honored. The fact is that another stipulation was "bent" by the other party partaking in this. Therefore, I am bending the rules of my exile, and have returned to the blogosphere as this anonymous avenging angel to set records straight.
So for those of you who have an inkling, allow me to say that I have never felt nor been used by any of my friends for either money or work in my real life. Although my imagination is one that can run wild, I am a realist who understands what is and what is not within my grasp. I am also a person of compromise who is willing to compromise on degrees of relationships based on the realism of their existence... but I will not compromise on my values.
Now that that is off my chest... let's see what else is out here begging for my attention.
