ON READING TOO MUCH INTO BLOGS

Like what Jeremy irons said, I think 1 needs to be careful in discerning what people say on their blogs. Blogs are good for rantings and rumblings, but that doesnt necessarily mean that a person is whiny in real life. On the other hand, a person may always post very happy n joyous entries on his or her blog but that also doesnt mean that he or she is happy in real life.

Another example: there is this very famous blogger whom I ll decline to name. His/her blog is really impressive and lots of readers subscribe to it, possibly becoz of his/her unique writing style. But once when I met the blogger in real life and face-to-face, I was quite disappointed. He/she came across as someone who couldnt really speak well, stammers, n doesnt capture yr attention at all. Whats worse was that he/she came across as arrogant in person, in contrast to his/her blog persona.

The worst thing is always when blog entries are being unintentionally misinterpreted by others. Sometimes a person may be trying to say a certain thing about a certain target(s) but seen from another person's angle or POV, it might be misunderstood.

I guess the bottom line is to try n be a discerning reader, n maybe not to read too much into certain things sometimes. I need to improve on this aspect myself as well.
