This is a half-rant. Not really.<\/p>\n
I respect people’s right to roam wherever they want online. If I like to spend my time at Seraphim Call sites, or sites about the Merchant of Venice, that’s my own business. Yet at the same time people’s rights to privacy get called into question.<\/p>\n
Yes, I’m talking about YOU. The one reading my blog right now.<\/p>\n
Blog is short for weblog<\/b>, of course. It’s a place where opinions can be freely expressed to the world. A spot where what we write shouldn’t have to be censored. We write what we think, what happened, who we think was at fault. Sometimes serious, at others light-hearted. Maybe just a link or two to a website which we thought was amazing in some way: humour, games, design, even.<\/p>\n
That being said, it’s not unusual that there would be… certain people that I wouldn’t want to read this thing. This is the reason why several of my friends have put password protection on their blogs (they’ve since been removed from my links.)<\/p>\n
As time has gone on, I feel that I can express less and less freely what I really mean, for fear of offending someone out there. I don’t know who reads this thing, quite honestly. I suppose part of that is my fault. I’ve given out the URL to my close friends, but… =\\ I lose control of where it goes after that.<\/p>\n
