Apologies for not having blogged for a while on Madoff and the “kleptocrat” angle of the financial story.
The reason is the web harassment I’ve talked about before. I’m not intimidated by it, but I think it’s a good idea for me to get my cyberhouse in order before I embark on more research on that. It looks like parts of that story might intersect with another story that’s been troubling me, which I can’t get into here.
When highly credentialed journalists start telling you to buy a revolver, you begin to wonder if you shouldn’t stop being bo-peep and try mata hari for real.
I also have some restructuring of my life going on that takes up most of my time and energy – so my posts have become a bit erratic.
My dream of becoming a professional wanderer, a vagabond of the net, is within a year (or so) of realization. Once I complete the structures I need to set up, this blog will become professional.
It will turn into a magazine and an online community, which is my dream.
I have no doubt you will succeed. Take care of yourself.
“My dream of becoming a professional wanderer, a vagabond of the net”
HAHA – I like it.
Being an amateur myself, I can’t say it’s easy. It appears as if you’ve had an extra bit of nerve rattling. I dislike that feeling so much. A loaded gun is very reassuring, especially when combined with an AK. But you Never feel comfortable in public again quite the same way as before. IMHO. You may be stepping on the most powerful of toes, in which case a gun (or even an army) probably wouldn’t do you any good.
Now that you used the word, maybe I should have kept the worldwide wanderers blog after all. Maybe it’s just the way you write it, I dunno.
Perhaps You’re a Panarchist? A blend of what you like from everything.
+ what Greg said.
Hey, thanks.
I get rattled over small things – an overcharge of my phone bill, a friend’s remark.
On the other hand, face-offs with dangerous people,
savings going down the toilet – that stuff depresses me, but I don’t seem to get rattled as much. Maybe because it feels out of my control.
I have no idea whether I’m in any trouble or not. I didn’t think so, but a couple of people seem to have been dropping hints my way, so taking precautions seems like a good idea.
You are one sharp lady. Protect yourself at all cost. Your voice is heard in this desert of the real. Some battles are to the knife.
