I mean really. No shit. Independent people should be able to make comments and not have to claim their independence. I would be different if this was a company sponsored blog etc. What pisses me off more, is when a podcast for example, states that the views expressed are not those of the company sponsoring the podcast. I think by sponsoring something directly, not an advertiser, but something like the "Vanguard financial podcast", that the company does have some responsibility. Not really on topic, but anyway.

I get your point and think accountability can be a good thing. However. There are people who blog about personal things - like their efforts to get pregnant, living with HIV, etc. And those people may be in the public eye, work, and may not have told people outside of their families about their health issues. Should I be able to Google my boss's name and find out that his toddler may have epilepsy because his name pops up in comments? I don't think so. I don't WANT my name to show up in a Google search (and it doesn't). And NOBODY at work knows the term "Green Yogurt" which is just how I want things. Welcome back!

Security. Being a fairly liberal minded person living in a very red part of MD, I find when I am on local blogs defending my positions I get threatened. And these people live around here. If they knew who I was they would be at my door. Have I said inflammatory things, sure after being called just about everything racist and bigoted you can think of. I used to write editors tot he letter that were in total idsagreement with ideology of a majority fo the folks around here and i got harrassed all the time. In the gorcery store, at work and most creepy at the daycare where my child was. And this is becasue I am a Democrat and not much else. I would hate to see if I was gay what would happen. Still Historical Wit came to be to protect my family. For reference, check out any of the local blogs on my webpage.
