I recently got a comment from the author of an article that I panned in what the author considered a personal attack. To be honest, I can see his point. I write off the cuff most of the time, and there’s some frustration and hidden baggage I bring along to my posts, I think. That’s blogging, isn’t it? It can be a diary or it can be a newspaper, and it’s searchable and findable, so you can easily put it on the same stage as, say, The New York Times. Which of course, it isn’t. Just because you found my blog and you read it, doesn’t mean that it’s a public platform. I don’t answer to a community of readers, I answer to me.

So should I temper my writing since it can be considered ‘public’? Or should readers understand that this is a window … into my soul! :>
