Delaware is a small place and you never know who will hold something against you or your family.<BR/><BR/>2. For example, suppose you or a family member applies for a job and doesn't get it. You may never know that it's because of something you wrote that turned up in Google. For example, there are a LOT of quiet pro-life types who would consider you Satan.<BR/><BR/>3. You are more exposed to ad hominem attacks.<BR/><BR/>4. You would naturally be forced to self-censor and moderate your style (less hyperbole and humor). You would find yourself editing out your best lines.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, disclosing your real identity would be a good thing if you wanted to move to a more objective journalistic style and take credit for it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18740044.post-1143204877421492292006-03-24T08:54:00.000-04:002006-03-24T08:54:00.000-04:00We all know that Republicans are not encumbered by...We all know that Republicans are not encumbered by things like facts and reality.

I mean when the guy tries to link Bush's failure in Iraq to an imagined Clinton era reduction in defense spending - that takes the cake. <BR/><BR/>I had been moving toward disclosing my real-life identity, but I'm not 100% sure I want to do that. <BR/><BR/>Any thoughts?jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07119892776164779402noreply@blogger.com
