Do
you think you are seeing yourself referenced in this blog or on
Facebook only not by name? I might say “a very successful friend
of mine” or maybe “a very smart friend of mine”. And you think
I am talking about you, and get offended or something of that nature.
Well,
I have bad news for you, its worse than you think. In fact, there is
a pretty good chance I am not referring to you at all, and if I was,
you would know it because I would have asked your permission first (whether
or not I use your name). Always, every time. Pretty much.
It
is possible, even likely, that the person I am referring to does not
exist but may contain some indefinable essence of your sacred
uniqueness (as we are all unique, dont you know, all God's children,
etc) in some sort of composite character that I am creating in order
to make a point about society, our lives, our civilization.
And
you want me to stop, in fact you demand an apology on Facebook, and
after I plead innocence, you tell me that is no excuse and so I end
up blocking another old and dear friend. This is a bummer.
But
I am not going to stop, and you are going to have to go away bitter
in total ignorance of the fact that I was not talking about
you at all.
