[The joke “sorry” page has been replaced by a real one. My apologies for my lack of sense of humour, but this is how I reacted.]
I’m certain I’m not the only person who felt a little surge of panic a moment ago. Was it really a good idea?
I mean, it’s fine when you know Steven Den Beste personally and go out for dinner each week with people who post on MeFi. But when you live on the other side of the world (almost) in a little village up in the Alps (so to speak), and that your web of belief has already been seriously shaken up by the KC affair, Matt’s post can very well be understood in the line of what was written on the sorry page. And we’re not all IA geeks who can see through the technical aspects of what is exposed there.
Yes, I’ve already been told I take things much too seriously. Online and off. And I guess I lose my sense of humor completely when I’m tired, under quite a lot of personal stress, and when I’ve just been through a few emotionally disturbing days (KC).
Maybe I need to pull the plug for a while.

I’m not pulling the plug. Though this (my reactions to all this stuff) does give me a kick in the ass for spending more time offline.

Est-ce le faux qui est vraiment important?
Le sentiment ressenti est on ne peut plus vrai. L’émotion était là . Pourquoi le weblog se doit d’être du type documentaire et pas fictionnelle.
Un des films de Woody Allen raconte la vie d’un musicien de Jazz sous forme d’histoire romancée. Mais on peut tout à fait croire qu’il nous parle de quelqu’un de réel, et c’est voulu.
Pourquoi le contraire ne serait-il pas acceptable?
Il y a une différence entre de la fiction avouée, et la fiction que l’on fait passer pour vraie.
Surtout quand elle concerne un sujet aussi sensible (si tu faisais bien référence à l’affaire “KC”).
OK je voulais pas mais je vais être obligé… je vais faire une entrée sur la-grange.net à ce propos. 😉
tout cela à cause de toi.
i wanted to say something comforting and enlightening, but nothing is coming out of my fingers… i am sitting here staring at the cursor blinking… i guess the only thing i can really say is i’m sorry for the way you feel… i doubt that helps much… but i wanted you to know
