this is my space

[marcus_quimby]

one reason the entries in this space can be so free is that i have chosen to be truthful behind the easy barricade of this persona. identifying information has been stripped away, so that i can be as forthcoming as possible. it doesn't help, then, when i receive communications seeking to break through the fourth wall.

if i wanted to communicate other than through this space, i'd do so. intimations, attempts to flush me out and other methods of attempted control only affirm for me the growing suspicion that men can't let well enough alone.

although you're with me on this journey and i enjoy having you, i am fully capable of ending this journal.

enjoy my adventures. that's all.

I'm totally with you here. I certainly value the importance of privacy (as you can tell by how I keep an LJ and how I choose to post on others', such as yours). Hence, I will respect your own to the utmost while, as you said, I and privileged others "enjoy your adventures" as you see fit to write them-- and nothing more. It's too bad when you receive posts from those who can't leave well enough alone and try to "break through the fourth wall." As Risingtofall has just posted above, please don't let one (or two, for that matter) bad apple ruin it for the rest of us!

thank you.
my reticence gives me freedom. alas, people who think they know something chatter too much. it has already caused many public messages to go friends-only, and some posts to disappear altogether.
