woof!

No thanks, I'm happy being another dog on the internet.

- epochwolf 16y agoNah, it's for stuff like this: http://twitter.com/epochwolf/status/14430334843 http://twitter.com/epochwolf/status/14430334843
- jacquesm 16y agoIt would be a great loss to the world if you would no longer post stuff like that because you have your name out front.
- epochwolf 16y agoI know you're being sarcastic but the problem is if I can't say stuff like that, what can I safely share under my real name? The internet is a safe place for me to share what I'm thinking. I don't have that freedom in real life.
- jacquesm 16y agoThat's pretty split to me. There isn't a thing that I'm thinking that I would speak out loud that I would not dare to commit in writing, and there isn't anybody of authority that I would look up to them with automatic respect so as to be deferential. That got me in to a lot of trouble in my school days by the way, especially with religious teachers ;)
