Question:
Do you think that the (and forgive me for this word, I don’t know a better replacement) blogosphere is overall a good place or overall a bad place?
I am serious here.
Is it a place where you can be yourself or a place where you better watch your back because someone can and will turn on you if they can?
Is it a place where you can make real friends or a place where you can talk to people who will forget you as soon as you don’t IM them after a week?
Is it a place where the people you do make friends with can sustain a friendship or is it a place where you can find out that the people you thought you knew you really don’t know at all as they are willing to dis you when given a chance?
Is it a place you feel free in or a place you feel stifled?
I really want to know what you think.
And if you feel that it is a good place, are you a blogger? If you blog, do you feel you owe anyone who asks that you defend your thoughts, actions or writings deserves an answer until they feel satisfied or do you feel that what you have written for years suffices as a testament to who you are?
Finally, are you willing to ignore it when you see a lynch mob forming online or do you jump in knowing you will be targeted next?
Like I asked when I started this:
