This doesn't sit well with me:
One of the things I've liked about blogging is that I've never felt the need to qualify and disclaim the shit out of everything. And maybe I felt that way because I don't get paid for what I do here. It's a free-for-all in a very literal sense.
I say to myself, it's a shame that Doc has to feel like he has to walk on egg shells. Integrity isn't something that someone earns through one act, it's based on history. In my book Doc has already earned my respect and belief in his integrity.
How I read a weblog is based on how it is framed. This website has Doc's name on it. There is no "journal," "news," or "newspaper" in the title. I take the title and the form of writing in it to be Doc's personal thoughts, views, opinions, with biases, warts and all. That's the cool thing about weblogs, it can be a form of writing that allows one to get to know a person.
If this web site becomes sterilized that will be a shame, and a great loss.
