On the whole, though, I think it's really cathartic to be able to express yourself in this way - blogging is good for the soul!Barrenbloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12265375480096323798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4340201738604749473.post-37498434623121395332008-01-23T10:38:00.000+00:002008-01-23T10:38:00.000+00:00I'm with you on this, M&M - one of my reasons for ...I'm with you on this, M&M - one of my reasons for blogging is to get away from work, which had rather taken over my life, so I try very hard to remain anonymous as far as colleagues are concerned. There are a small number of people I've made off-blog contact with, and that's been a real pleasure, but I'll stick to being feline for now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4340201738604749473.post-14584781497022479272008-01-21T09:57:00.000+00:002008-01-21T09:57:00.000+00:00It's a conundrum, M&M, you want people to read it ...It's a conundrum, M&M, you want people to read it but you don't want to tell people about it.

Those who write an opinion and are happy to stand by it no matter what others think, those who mind very much how their opinions are received. I think this is part of the fascination of blogging.<BR/><BR/>I love the anonymity, but it gets harder and harder to maintain the longer you go on. It seems less important though, as I get more confident of my place in the blogging world. It is a delicate question though. <BR/><BR/>I agree with Pig. We need to know your friends. (<BR/>I don't agree with you, Pig, about your blog being solely about food and no opinions - I've learnt a lot about you and what you think from reading it.)Iota https://www.blogger.com/profile/08507184283437057648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4340201738604749473.post-88893428922239565842008-01-18T10:21:00.000+00:002008-01-18T10:21:00.000+00:00I don't get the scerecy thing or the embarrassment...I don't get the scerecy thing or the embarrassment- if you are embarrased by what you write why do it?Gillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13379877200876051274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4340201738604749473.post-9088845362872242352008-01-17T22:42:00.000+00:002008-01-17T22:42:00.000+00:00What worries me most is admitting the addictive el...What worries me most is admitting the addictive element of blogging...@themillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17644636690850127781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4340201738604749473.post-51320685643739874412008-01-17T21:48:00.000+00:002008-01-17T21:48:00.000+00:00Totally agree.

If she wants to know what's going on, she just picks up the phone and calls. And I like it that way.<BR/><BR/>And I certainly don't tell my in-laws, since most of my rants are about them.<BR/><BR/>Yes, I worry sometimes that they might stumble across my blog, but as I don't use names (even altered the names of my pets), I feel I'm pretty safe from adding fuel to the fire.Musical Midnighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18079788960636934414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4340201738604749473.post-42732730189666963002008-01-17T13:43:00.000+00:002008-01-17T13:43:00.000+00:00I never admit it either - it sounds so naff to be ...I never admit it either - it sounds so naff to be a blogger...associations of geeks and weirdos always spring to mind!
