I think your blog is fantastic, you are a truly funny and enlightening person and I enjoy reading your posts everytime you update.<br />Congratulations on your new website.<br /><br />I have to say, though, this post left a bit of a bad taste. To me, and perhaps I misunderstood you, but you appear to be saying that you're becoming "overwhelmed" with your fame, that you can't deal with being a "role model" for all your "fans". I found this post a bit arrogant. Im sure you have loads of followers (myself included as a dedicated one!) but I think this might be a bit ahead of yourself. You always used to write with such modesty. <br /><br />I hope I havent offended you, I just wanted to give you food for thought as I feel like these posts are kind of sliding towards arrogance and narcissm. You dont have to publish me if you don't want, I understand. I dont have a blog so I can only post my name (Joanne) instead of being Annon (which I hate!)<br /><br />I wish you all the best!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1720872153813357167.post-14816285817917564972011-10-16T17:20:34.385+11:002011-10-16T17:20:34.385+11:00This is an interesting post.

I am the wrong generation (baby boomer) to criticise the new bible- the book of Face. <br /><br />I am wholly disengaged, but I have the luxury of not needing to be on line to further my working/social life. <br /><br />As somebody who used to work in the National Archives, I am conscious of privacy issues and really worry about the loss of private thoughts and behaviour. Oddly enough I was reading a remark by Julian Assange before I read your post. He said:<br /><br />"Here([Facebook]we have the world's most comprehensive database about peole, their relationships, their names, their addresses, their locations and the communications with each other, their relatives...all accessible to US intelligence...Everone should understand that when they add their friends to Facebook, they are doing the work for United staes intelligence agencies.

If only there were more inspirational people like you in this world.<br />I post as anonymos because, I don't actually know you, as such. And don't want to add extra to your busy life, by needing / wanting to respond.

I have, like Clem described in her blogpost, tried unsuccessfully to use it to cry out for help. A subsequent 'unfriending' tipping me 'over the edge' and into another black hole. When I want to torture myself, I will choose to look up my ex boyfriend, the self proclaimed commitment phobe and lament at how his new fiancee is so much prettier than me (even if her updates are littered with grammatical errors, it matters not!). I will be stuck in one evening and see that a group of my friends have 'checked in' at a restaurant or bar, leaving me to wonder if my invite was a message send failure. I have hit the deactivate button on several occasions, only to find myself typing in my email address and reconfirming my account a few weeks later. Why? I am an expat and for all its faults, FB is the easiest and most efficient way to keep in touch with friends at home. If it wasn't for them, I'd be off for good! I like the peace, quiet and knowing who my real friends are. Good Luck! <br /><br />FF xofullyfashionedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02170906185696536550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1720872153813357167.post-67639612553189183742011-10-14T21:05:21.185+11:002011-10-14T21:05:21.185+11:00It sounds like a good step, this de-activation of ...It sounds like a good step, this de-activation of Facebook.

What is wrong with people? do they somehow expect you to be the angel who will fix all their problems? Pfft!!<br />I've never been involved with Facebook and never will. It might be fun for a while, but I've seen the harm it can do too, and I don't need that in my life.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.com
