I am quite amazed at the amount of fighting going on here on Soulcast, The BLOGWARS. Quite a interesting phenomenon. With fighting I don’t mean debating, or even heated debating, I mean fighting. I really could understand what was going on but I think I have kind of figured it,
It seems to me that the tooth and claw fighting has come form peoples fear of losing their anonymity. So this brings us two questions:
1. Is it really safe to share all you innermost thoughts on the internet. Blogging promised a channel where you can voice your feelings and concerns, the type of stuff you wouldn’t tell a priest in a confession booth, all under the impression that no one will ever find out. But is this really so and have you thought about it.
2. Most of the fighting started when people communicated outside of the blog over internet, shared personal homepages and emails, in the spoken/unspoken understanding that this newfound information would be held in the same secrecy that the blog environment provided. It seems some people may or may not have respected this secrecy and anonymity, should you trust a total stranger with your personal information?
