Trust30 Day4; identity and reputation

I just finished. Well - maybe 15 min ago, I finished the Day4 post. And as I was proofing it I decided not to publish it. Yes, I censored myself. Why? Simply put, I didnt want to take a chance that the subject of the post would get back to the people mentioned in the post.

Yes, I changed names and left out any identifying details but the situation described would be clear if one of the participants read it, to them at least. And at this time, I dont think anyone involved knows my true feelings concerning the situation and I want to keep it that way.

So I censor myself. Just to maintain a "web" persona that is seperate from my "professional" persona. In my youth I do not think I would have. I was brazen enough and idealistic enough to say, "Who cares". But, from my current perspective, I had less to lose back then. Or maybe I did but it meant less to me back then.

Or possibly I have just become another person who has lost his zeal with age.
