Threatened by names
I felt less stupid for having more than once replaced friends' names with initials or pseudonyms in my blog as requested (maybe protested against?), or even having deleted entire entries after vain negotiations, after I read this.
I learnt and tried to inform people involved afterwards but how many of you do ask for permission BEFORE blogging names? Even you are far from objectively offensive, it's unpredictable to say when your protagonists will consider your posts as sweet and when they will hate you. Toby, right?

ha, i think you got over it a long time ago. think about how i refrain from writing about you, and you'll see your friends are not asking for too much :) and your friends are not that "unpredictable" if you do care about them. i know, you're busy ma :)
i wonder if you should delete this entry too because your mention of protest and vain negotiation looks like another hopeless defense to me. i repeat, for that vanishing entry, i think you're 120% wrong. i know, hard to say sorry, harder to really feel sorry ma.
btw, look at the bright side.
funny thing is I was reading the same article and was thinking of blogging the same thing. However the illustration was a lot more interesting than the article itself.
