There are too many BLOGS nowadays, not only hundred blogs but millions of blogs throughout the internet highway. However only few blogwriters used their true real name. You can see their face, the whole family and clan in their posted photographs on their blogs but they are identify only with their nicknames and famous writers, most of them used their pseudonyms. The most legit blogwriters are actually people who are into business, selling something and some of them have reputation to promote their business or campaigning for political office, lobbyists, or celebrity endorser, news reporters or journalists.
What to hide? I think if you are a blind-item writer you have to hide your real name for the sake of your own security. Well, it's up to your company you are associated with on how you present yourself and your work. Who are hiding and into hiding? CRIMINALS! Criminals are always into hiding because they are being hunted! But according to an expat, going for vacation in the US is not a convenient way to relax you can be a suspect for anything criminal. Just watch BORDER SECURiTY, QUANTICO and BLINDSPOT to find out.
Most of the people I know would rather be in their own world. They have their own way of reaching out for news and how to create news and made issues from such NEWS. They are the saboteurs? Not all people have the mind of saboteurs, some of them are just playing Mastermind. Think that there are millions of people with ADHD. They probably think that everything is a GAME. Gamers have a world of their own and some of them are literally DEAF. They can only follow what's being asked through the screen of the computer and blind to what is in reality or real world. Their perception of the real world is different from normal perception.
You want to promote yourself in a way darker than you are expected of then you probably love Darth Vader. You want to be Supergirl who can't hide a secret exposing her powers that be to the mortals then that's her own prerogative. All the villains will do is to squeeze her with kryptonite just to banish her away from their supposed to be evil wrongdoings. Isn't that what's happening when good people are swayed or left behind from hordes of information that dunno when the right time they will divulge because truth is the Earth is really flat and it's up to the spinners to spin the truth so that we all wont be deceived.
How many times you've been deceived? How many times you are used for deception? How many times they scammed you and bullied and how many times the "thieves" will steal from you and from your house? if the answer is way too many times, you are probably primarily their "target."
You can only yell at them and shout ))))))))))))) " you can't fool all the people all the time."
