Pulling Punches
Ross Mayfield says the veteran bloggers are pulling punches, editing themselves, and becoming more conservative in their posts.
It may be true. I've been chastised on more than one occasion for a blog post that pissed someone off. And it makes you pause.
But I'd rather stop blogging than be anything other than honest, open, candid, and transparent with this blog.
But isn't this bound to happen? A child says with little filter; but as a grownup, the same individual has refined to develop white lies, murmuring under the breath and yes biting the tongue.

The only person I ever piss off is Tony Alva, and that takes at least 4 anti Bush blogs per day to acheive. With the election but a memory, my blog had turned to 98% music, and unless I say that Led Zeppelin is crap, I'm not bound to piss anybody off. But I'm still game for it.

I wonder if it has something to do with the outcome of the Nov 2 election. Lots of bloggers I read regularly have severely cut down their blogging since then. (For instance, Jenny Lawton's blog).
Maybe it bummed a lot of people out, and they need some additional time to regain their composure?
