No. After discovering Open Pages, I did mull over the idea of an on-line journal but finally rejected it. There are several reasons:
In my journals I write what I think, straight. My gut reaction, my paper therapist,
my best outlet. Thus what I write is often wrong, either factually, or, commonly,
grammatically, or, upon later reflection, emotionally or however. I don't want
my hasty, ill-thought out, and irate blurtings made public, for my own and others'
sakes.
I make far too many private references that I don't
want to take the time to explain: my journals are my journals, not published
memoirs, and I don't require myself to explain every aside and allusion.
Tracing my vituperations to the actual dramatis personae
is too easy.
Some members of Open Pages use pseudonyms, some request
that if the reader knows the writer in person to keep out, some censor themselves
so others won't censure their writing. None of these options is acceptable
to me.
Watch me contradict myself.
I am not about to link to people every time I refer to them. You can look in the Friends pages if you want some background. Any problem of idiolect or other perversions of speech, look in Griping. Otherwise, check the Biography.
