Call Me Circumspect
My brother accuses me of being paranoid when I say "use a pseudonym in your web logs"; okay, maybe not so harsh, but that's probably what he's thinking. Actually, it's not that bad because you'll see that I use the occasional first name here and there. I would definitely never use a full name unless it was that of a public figure because there's enough personal information in here already (those in the know will know who's web log this is, the rest of the world should have to guess). So I take back what I said to him earlier about making up pseudonyms for his friends and people that he mentions, that's probably overkill as long as he sticks to first names or nicknames.
There's a fine line that gets walked because sometimes when you mention someone, the entry may not be specifically about them but is only being used to get a point across, but they may eventually read it (always a chance). So how specific do you be, and how paranoid do you be about them eventually reading it. I try to walk the "no gossip" line, meaning if I wasn't part of a situation I really shouldn't blog about it and I try not to comment on other people's lives (except in general), and I stick to espousing my own opinions about my life.
And all that's probably about as clear as mud... (I'm not in a clear-thinking mood today).
