Ovi magazine Issue #17: Blogs, Bloggers and Blogging

The first time I saw an anonymous
comment in my
blog I started thinking what
can I answer to somebody
who is…anonymous. It was
not a bad or a harassing
comment it was just anonymous.
Why did the signature
‘anonymous’ suddenly
bother me?
Let’s see, I have identity in the
blogsphere, my name is Picard
and I am a captain of a Federation
starship traveling where
nobody has ever been before, I
like 3D chess and my best friend
is a creature 800 light years
old from an alien world, which
doesn’t exist anymore after the
Borg destroyed it - forgot to say
that in her spare time she’s a
barmaid.
Still, I haven’t understood how
anybody ever dares to sign as
anonymous. I mean, what identity
is anonymous? Do you have
long hair or short? Are you tall?
Most of all, are you a man or a
woman?
Where do I live? I live in a starship
traveling all around and
I’m bald. Not exactly bald, I’ve
got some hair behind my ears,
but I have a good head stylist
who shaves them every second
day. He’s good but the gossip
type. And he has opinions,
