[Ansteorra] Blogs?

[gail young]

Good point.  I use email to communicate as well, and I guess my view was that a blog was something people used to reach others that you DON"T know, where email is more personal.

You bring up an interesting point, yet I find it a bit to general, as a 
person with a blog and an avid internet user. I do not fit into you 
definition and as such respectfuly must disagree.. 
Me
I have a blog, I use e-mail I do a lot of communicating over the internet. 
as do a lot of folks
I can only speak from my experiance. 
I check my mail several times a day, not because I don't have a life or 
folks to talk with For me it is the other way around.
I teach computers, Help clients, am active in my church, the SCA, my 
exercise group, and my recovery group. Outside of my lord my nearest 
relitive is 70 miles away the next closest is 600. my family is strewn 
across this country. my eldest two children are in college in Hawaii. and my 
yungest two are in Highschool in Nebraska I have many friends ascross the 
country and our state as well. If I spent the time clling and talking with 
them the way I e-mail them I would still be looking at phonebills larger 
than my rent. For me the internet is a great tool It alows me to Keep in 
touch with family and friends. 
My Blog allows me to share informtion with a larger group of folks instead 
of having to send out the same thing over and over again. and gives readers 
an oppertunity to respond to it. Varrably most of the stuff on it is letting 
family and friends know what I am up to. Life lessons I'm working on and 
tidbits I want my sponcees to consider on living a life in recovery. and I 
have one just for freinds in the writing community to give me feedback on my 
litterary work.
It is my oppinion that when communicating over an online media or any media 
We all have a reponcibility to use it in a constructive manner. and not to 
turn it into a forum for negitive thoughts and emotions. Just because I have 
a place to write my opinions and fealings it does not mean it is appropriate 
to write everything I am thinking (many times what I am thinking is not 
appropriate) I must be acountable for what I put into print as well as what 
I say. for example I can think someone is an $^&(*&^% all I want but it is 
not appropriate to put it into print. I must be responcible for my actions, 
speach and words. 
Some folks do not use the media of the internet wisely or responcibly and 
that is unfortunate. I hope that over time more will.
Thank you Gweneth for your insight, It has given me time to think and 
reflect on why I keep a Blog, along with how and why I use the internet to 
communicate.
