so amended.Teaching by example isn't always effective but it does have the merit of not doing any damage.
One's personal internet impact is probably minimal, but these little posts are small gestures. My goal is to sustain the illusion of a consistent persona with magical powers as described by eightbitsamurai in his epic story of Hubski. This persona seems to live safely in a library. While the other characters battle goblins and ride dragons, she . . . well, she lives in a library. Sigh.
I just discovered I do not exist in 8-bit's universe. Muted. I've never even spoken with him. If I said something that irritated him, he didn't bother to tell me. Hmm. I don't mute him, of course, so he pops up on threads on my posts. So it goes...
To be honest I don't remember doing that either, or the reason why I would do it, which probably means there wasn't one. I might have just been cruising your profile and done it on accident. That should be fixed now. Sorry 'bout that. I enjoyed your observations on Hubski article.
Thank 8-bit! I thought that maybe the god-like powers of authorship had gone to your head. Others can only mute and ignore me -- you have literary weapons at your disposal! :) If you do feel inclined to mute me in future -- tell me before it gets to that point. I care what you think.
