Lately, there has been quite a bit of blogging, both here and elsewhere, about privacy matters in blogs, specifically the unmasking of "anonymous" bloggers and commenters. As someone who soon will lose his blogging anonymity (blogonymity?) as a result of my own statements and actions, I've been giving this quite a bit of thought. So, I'd like to share my thoughts and respectfully solicit yours.
When I first started my blog, Blast Off!, I jealously guarded my privacy, for reasons I will explain below. After being away from my blog, and here, for two years, I've returned as a more mature blogger, and today I'm far less concerned about being "outed" as a liberal blogger than I was in the past.
But is it maturity - or naivete? Please join me below the fold.
