I find this really interesting.
IWhen I opened up this account to a public account, I wasn' exactly sure why I was doing it. I mean, I did it with the intention of writing on this thing. And the only reason I would do that is to have other people see it. I have an LJ elsewhere on which I put down my own theories and thoughts as a journal. But not as a blog. It's just a record of my thoughts for me alone to refer to. A database of sorts. I don't care for comments posted there; tha'ts not the point. But it IS the point here.
This is an experiment. A deviation from my normal routine and programming. I'm not concerned with popular opinion. I'm fairly solid in my ideals and beliefs. Personal justification trumps popular opinion. As I see it, popular opinion is grounded in desire and selfishness. Not something that holds very much value for me. I have very little tolerance for comments lacking forethought. And I'm not afraid to voice my opinions, complimentary or otherwise.
In any case, my point is that this is my experiment, delving into a community of self-inflation and social anonymity. What comes out in these posts is all people have to understand each other. And because of that anonymity, people are (or at least should be) free to act as they really are. I can't imagine there will be a lot of people that I feel are decent enough to hold a conversation. But I'm at least willin to search.
So feel free to respond or mail. I'm a gives-the-benefit-of-the-doubt kind of guy while at the same time very discriminate about my opinions. But I guess you'll have to find out about that on your own.
