LOL your description of the torments makes me itchy and oozy. Why don't you write fic again? LOL.
Yeah, I totally get you not wanting to be Googled. I've never tried to Google myself, but since I share a last name with a pretty powerful family on Days of Our Lives, I'm sure googling me probably turns up way more interesting people than myself.
I think what weirded me out most about this whole thing was that there really are no secrets. You can't be Googled under flock, but someone you trust can still screencap anything you post and pass it around. It might be frowned upon and downright dirty, but there's nothing but conscience to keep a person from doing it if they have a mind to.
I think most of all this post was about me actually wanting to know the people on my flist and not just some internet persona. I'd like to think if I ever met y'all in real life I could say exactly how I met you and what we talk about, what our common interests are without anyone trying to cover up anything, ya know?
And I love that you pull no punches. Punch away, bb.
