The Waiting Room

This is my second attempt at a blog. Why the second attempt? You see, I started blogging as an outlet for the things that I see on a daily basis. I wrote about the things that I would hear my colleagues bitch and moan about constantly. I kept everything anonymous, including my identity and where I work, to protect the innocent and the guilty. It was meant to be humorous. And it many ways it was. Until recently.

An "anonymous" person left some nasty, borderline threatening, comments on my last blog. I was stunned at what I read. Not because this person was blasting my opinions, that did not bother me. What got under my skin was the character assassinations and threats made by a person who claims to know me. I have some idea who this person is, and it does not surprise me that this person would not leave a name.

But it did give me pause. I paused long enough to delete the blog. But after much thought, I decided to begin writing again. I figure that I can't allow one person who has some serious issues stop me from my right to freedom of expression. I welcome all thoughts and opinions. I love a good debate. But what is not acceptable is those who want to ruin the fun for the rest of us.

After all, isn't that what it's all about?
