Everyone seems to be fleeing from the responsibilities that come from being who you are. I think that is why the blogosphere is thriving. It allows people to develop a fantasy self.
From Lee Siegel
I love the Internet; I'm on it all the time.
I love the idea of the amateur - that's what popular culture is all about. But what the Internet's doing is professionalizing everyone's amateuristic impulses.
I react very badly when mediocrity throws a tantrum of entitlement.
Ever since the romantic comedy-drama 'She's Gotta Have It' antagonized black women and black men in 1986, Spike Lee's films have enjoyed the outrage of various groups.
Every man is a hero to his alias.
Anonymity is a universal convention of the blogosphere, and the wicked expedience is that you can speak without consequences.
I am too childlike to be immature.
I have a confession to make. For years, I earned a living - or a sort of living - writing negative book reviews.
