The Dangers Of Letting Your Big Fat U*U Online Persona Do The Talking Include, Butt Are Not Limited To. . . Being Outed By The Emerson Avenger

U*U Twitterati Rev. Phil Lund brought my attention to a very good article titled 'The Dangers Of Letting Your Online Persona Do The Talking' by Jessica Digiacinto via this Tweet last night. Unitarian Universalist bloggers would be very well advised to read this article and take it to heart, *especially* those "less than perfect" U*U clergy bloggers who blog and*or Tweet "insulting and defamatory language", slanderous and libelous U*U BS, and other verbal and psychological abuse, behind the cowardly cover of internet anonymity and pseudonimity. . .

Here are some plagU*Urized highlights from the article with im*pertinent embedded hyperlinks:

"I couldn’t help but cringe at some of the stuff Peacebang was writing about. Personal stuff. Stuff that, once it’s out there, you just can’t take back from The Emerson Avenger."

"Peacebang was anonymous back then, and didn’t feel the need to censor anything she wrote. After all, wasn’t that what Big Fat U*U Blogs were for? Verbally drop-kicking people who stole from her church or peacefully protested against U*U injustices and abuses, ever so *virtually* anally impaling "less than perfect" U.S. state senators on the Statue of Liberty's torch, quite unwittingly divulging Big Fat U*U Secrets to get them off her chest, saying everything she could never say in "real life" as a "SMALL TOWN PASTOR SERVING AN HISTORIC NEW ENGLAND UNITARIAN UNIVERSALIST CONGREGATION"? Wasn’t that what the Internet was for? Finally — a way to be noticed without being called out, until The Emerson Avenger "outed" her. . ."

"Who were these anonymous U*U voices that used the cover of the Internet to bully from afar? How cowardly could some U*U(s) be, to sling mud without ever signing their name(s) to their insulting and defamatory U*U BS?"

"When we yell into the air, those words eventually stop ringing in the rafters and evaporate*. But when we press Publish — our words turn into Big Fat U*U Fossils, forever stuck in the invisible, but oh so easily excavated, online world."



* Unless of course "those words" are recorded and posted to U*UTube, or elsewhere on the internet, for Big Fat U*U Posteriority.
