I just became aware that BOING BOING , the world famous website has my old job down as a place that fires bloggers. How cool is that?

I hate to to agree in one sense, we should not live in fear of this kind of tryanny, but I respect your fear because it comes from reality.

Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment on my blog...it's amazing to me just how many employers feel threatened by bloggers and like with anything "new" people feel a need to control it!

I wonder how many employers fire bloggers for reasons other than blogging... perhaps blogging was the straw that broke the camel's back, so to speak. Only the blogger himself/herself really knows.

I am sure that it's quite a few, I am also sure that my employer would tell you that. But it was strange that I was not fired till they read it!!
