OK, I have just taken two giant steps to enter the blog community. For a senior citizen, this is a major breakthrough. It is like entering a twilight zone. Suddenly you find your self transported into an alien dimension where people talk to each other, share their views, critique what you write, run you down, ridicule you, and can even throw insults and abuse at you. In blogworths of course! Reminds me of Brutus and Marc Anthony speaking to the Roman mob. One moment they could be praising you, and the next moment they want to crucify and hang you. Ah, but that's all part of going public.
From the little I am learning about the blog community, I am discovering that the internet forum place is about the most democratic of open society. Be prepared to expect everything, and anything, to be thrown at you, if you so much as have an opinion on the web.
But then sticks and stone may break my bone ..
