The Dangers of Blogging

Written by Lee Doyle on September 23, 2008 – 9:53 pm

This is following my post of “What is blogging now” and now I’d like to talk about how real blogging can cause a lot of problems.

Many real bloggers blog about how their personal life is and generally rant about whatever is on their mind. I have seen some people lose jobs, lose loved ones, and ruin their lives through blogging.
This could be a risk that keeps bloggers going and a way to live on the edge… Or it could be their only real way of expressing themselves in their own way.

I know for a fact that my blogging has caused a lot of problems in my life… I still have not seen the brunt of it yet… But without it I really don’t think id be here today. It has been such a good way to get my emotions and built up anger out without really causing any immediate damage.

I hope one day a lot of the issues my blog has caused will one day turn around and my children will be able to see that I have been thinking of them and maybe my ex’s will be able to see that I am sorry for any problems I may have caused.

I also hope that if everything does turn to shit even worse than it is now, that maybe people will be able to read up on how things have gone. I have many posts that are not yet published , they are on scheduled posts in case this does happen. Hopefully they will never see the light of day. This is one big reason I have paid for 5 years of hosting and will soon backdate my .com for 10 years.

I am not a drinker, smoker, drug user, and I try my best to keep myself from acting out… I guess blogging and writing (no matter how good or bad I am at it)  is a new way for people like me to destress…. Well I hope so.

I hope that this is what blogging will be used for more and more… and we will get to see people change their lives and see them go through the life changing events…. Or just watch them show us their views and let us debate them.

This is one of the key selling points for any real blogger! You can watch them evolve and see how their lives change. It is sort of like a Reality TV show… but you really do get to see what these people think…

I know many bloggers who I talk to wish sometimes they never published their real name… I know I have wished this many time (And will lots more). Some have managed to do this and have become really famous for it (i.e. girl with a one track mind), but it can backfire as when you get the fame more and more people want to know the real you.

If you have had any bad effects from blogging let me know :) Id love to share all mine but I am sure id just cause lots more through sharing them.

Back to basics

Written by Lee Doyle on June 27, 2008 – 11:16 am

BasicsI have been worrying about a lot of unimportant things the past few months… Maybe I have been doing this to take my mind of the things I should be thinking about, or maybe its just me getting used to the situation.

I have decided to go and do some homework and start a new chapter in my blog. I am going to try to reverse the tables on some people and organizations that are intent on destroying fathers and myself. Maybe this is just another way of taking my mind of my children and my ex… But I need to do something and why not do something useful for a change.

I have been talking to a lot of old friends the past few weeks and spent a lot of time debating changes in public opinions of fathers and what could be done to change them… I have also been doing some legal work for some friends and am in court the next few weeks for myself and some other people.

I hope to get back to my old fighting self and forget about all this stupid agro that some unimportant people have created for me…

So from next week expect the old 2007 version of Lee Doyle and expect some angry comments to start coming my way again.

P.s.

I will be very busy this week and the next. So please only email me if you need too! If you need help please use other contacts.
