My Life is not a Wiki

February 11th, 2007

A plea, not a personal attack, not directed at anyone in particular.

I’ve lived for over two decades now, so it’s only natural that there’s massive amounts of dirt to pick up from my past. Please, however, exercise some discretion. Keep it to yourselves, or at least in small, private groups; please do not throw it out in a public chatroom. People are bound to draw wrong conclusions, and to ask me about it in private.

Here’s the big problem, though: I often don’t remember! Call it a mental block, but there’s many memories that simply have been swept under the rug, and when I don’t recall the details of such a situation, or only do so very vaguely, I cannot comment on it in any reasonable or useful manner.

My life is not a wiki; I don’t have a revision history that lets you or myself travel backwards in time to look at how things were in my mind back in the day.

Thanks.

Again, not aimed at anyone in particular. Just… try to evaluate and judge me by who I am right now, not who I was months or years ago.

Pheew! Glad you don’t remember that one summer evening we get drunk and it was so hot and sultry we get our clothes off and than rubbed our manly chests against each other… cough

Well, yeah, there was that.

Your Own Thoughts

I'd love to hear your input. Just try to stick to a few rules:

Please, think before you post. It's not a chatroom — you have plenty of time to avoid gratuitous abbreviations (no "u" for "you", please) and to proofread. Everyone benefits from comments which have had an extra minute of thinking.
Though I virtually never delete a comment, I do reserve the right to do so for ones I deem irrelevant, unthoughtful, as trolling or as flaming, or otherwise hostile.
Unfortunately, you cannot currently edit. When necessary, do feel free to double-post; I will merge your posts together, and correct mistakes for you if you so wish.
Likewise, you cannot delete. You can, however, ask me to do it by contacting me. Please only do so if truly necessary.
I reserve the right not to approve comments with bogus names or e-mail addresses, but will typically leave them published as well.

Before you comment for the first time (or, after you have deleted cookies), you will have to answer a little challenge to prove that you are not a spammer.

Comments are written in Markdown.
