I'm reminded of a classmate who wandered into a recent nutcase protest because she was attracted by their comments on abortion. I talked with her a few days later and she was freaked out by how ridiculous they were.Klepsacovichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07915576683657376929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-6054877938140380362009-10-28T10:23:29.048-05:002009-10-28T10:23:29.048-05:00Hmmm...that's one of those 'get off my sid...Hmmm...that's one of those 'get off my side, you're not helping' comments isn't it?<br /><br />I have no strong feelings about Gevlon's blog. I know he'd characterise me as a wastel and a slacker, or whatever his terminology is, and although I think he makes good points, his style grates too much for me personally for me ever to become a regular reason. I like insight and entertainment from my morning blog-reading, not irritation :)<br /><br />But the point is, everybody blogs in a personna, even people ostensibly blogging as themselves. I don't like Gevlon's but that's me, not him.<br /><br />The necessary counterpart to freedom of speech is freedom to ignore. And I do and everybody is happier :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-65305228112578323422009-10-27T18:10:24.303-05:002009-10-27T18:10:24.303-05:00@LifeDeathSoul: I shall.

He writes his blog for a certain audience, but then you can read a response of his in Pike's Aspect of the Hare where he talks about how beautiful her post was (it was about her love of chemistry) and it has nothing to do with economics or putting people down.<br /><br />He'd probably never use the word "beautiful" in a post for his own blog, because a WoW goblin only perceives monetary worth, but Gevlon the person is free to call something beautiful.<br /><br />People may blog a particular way for an audience but if they do I think their more "normal" selves come out if they comment elsewhere. Jong of Forbearance blogs like he's the greatest thing since sliced bread with an ego to match (and it's funny to his readers, it's part of the reason <i>why</i> we read him), but his ego isn't anywhere to be found when he comments in my blog. He sounds like a perfectly normal person.Hanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12020803566446071455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-84302746844526398952009-10-27T12:58:45.466-05:002009-10-27T12:58:45.466-05:00you make a good point, our blogging selves and RL ...you make a good point, our blogging selves and RL selves are NOT one and the same. While I think Gevlon is a pretentious jerk who pretends to be smarter than he actually is, I have no idea how he is in real life. He might be just some ordinary dude who thinks this whole thing is hilarious. While I generally have a pre-disposition to like certain online personas more or less, if I met them in person that's all it would be, a pre-disposition. <br /><br />Wishing physical harm on anyone over words on the internet is ridiculous and immature, I fully support your stance on it. As usual, I enjoyed reading the post.Fishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17653252976648480240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-71467977988786565422009-10-27T10:04:11.976-05:002009-10-27T10:04:11.976-05:00/salute
