-Spotted Fever-
I rarely post in the morning, but this caught the eye that wasn't swollen shut. One of the most recently published blogs (of 7:15 AM, at any rate) belongs to a cheery fellow by the name of Robert. Robert likes his privacy. He promises to pull up his stakes and find a new blog if anyone e-mails him.
A quandary, then! Do I interrupt his angry solitude to inform him that he has erred in making the blog public at all? There is the option to make it private, but it is possible he knows and chose not to do so. Perhaps, despite his sullen tone, he truly wants someone to pay attention, even to contact him.
If he does not know he's been spotted, am I doing him a service by informing him he has been? Puncture his illusion of privacy, now, and he'll be wiser and more on guard in the future. Or he might become so paranoid that he'll get a tinfoil wardrobe. Oh, hell, I won't tell him yet. And if someone already has...
It's only a bit of blog.
