Now that I have your attention, let’s talk about something else.

I am sure everybody with a blog or a twitter/facebook account or something similar had those moments, after writing a blog post or an update, when the finger is hovering over the submit button and then the brain kicks in. “Can I really write/say that?”¹
Sometimes certain links, images or jokes might be appropriate for 4chan, maybe reddit or when hanging with buddies – but not at a place where they can actively found in the context that carries the real name – and might be read or found by people who don’t have the same kind of humor.
And while I usually subscribe to the school of “You can laugh about everything – but not with everybody” and don’t mind posting rather dark or tongue-in-cheek stuff on my blog over at tumblr, there’s still stuff, that I won’t even post there. And it is itching in my fingers to start an anonymous blog with accompanying twitter account where I can just bitch and rant – but I just know that once there are a bunch of followers, my vanity will take over and I’ll put my name there. So… I guess it has to be 4chan then.
