Taking a Break!
2009-06-11
Yeah, we dolphins do love our fish! It's how they get us to do tricks at Dolphinariums don't you know, using hunger and food as motivation. I'm so glad we don't have one here.
But it's true, Flipper is now officially Off Island, Gone Fishing and banned from writing unless I really really need to. SXM PE is now 4 years old, it's rebuilt and it is now open to the people and community of SXM to make of it what they will, I have repeatedly begged people I think have writing talents and knowledge and information to share to write, I get promises but never actual blogs. Maybe I was wrong and expected too much? I need to take a break.....
Knowing you as well as I do I have to say you have made the right move, you do need a break and I'm glad you are taking one. Forget about troubles and the future for a while, enjoy now, enjoy life and find refreshment. I'll be back myself in a couple weeks and I'll try to spend more time here too.
I've also tried to encourage people to write. It is disheartening when they promise but don't deliver, I'll keep working on them though. :)

OK Flipper, enjoy your vacation, we will make sure the others you leave behind will be taken care off, so don't worry.
And who know, we might even visit you one day.
Have fun
Especially for me. You got it wrong whoever you are and I really really don't appreciate it, I like life thank you very much. Think on that before acting irresponsibly please.

I hope I'm wrong, but these comments sounds like someone wants to Muzzle free speech. Again, I hope I'm not reading thru the lines here. "Taken care of" what does that imply.
The person who made the comment above included a name, which I replaced with Flipper. It just so happens that this morning I heard that there is a name being bandied around in certain circles and apparently by one person in particular as the person who is Flipper. In that context the above comment could be seen as possibly threatening and hostile, I hope I am wrong. I personally have no need or wish to be 'taken care of', and what exactly is meant by 'visiting you one day'?
I would like to remind those who might seek to expose the identities of bloggers here with guesses. Doing so puts those people 'fingered' at very serious risk, possibly life threatening, from those who might have been upset by what has been written or exposed here, dangerous elements you might call them.
To the person making the comment I say be careful, especially if you get it wrong, as you did. Instead you put a dear friend of mine and fellow blogger at risk with your guess. Your IP has been recorded, just in case. If I am wrong with my suspicion about the comment please feel free to correct me.

As if IP's can't be modified.
Have fun "fishin". for all you know, this could be a brand new poster. or not. makes no difference, you all are cowards hiding behind annonimity. mind if I join you?

If you are posting another comment claiming the first as your own and that a threat was intended then I think the answer to you joining us would be 'no thanks'. Is that your intention Fishie?
I believe this is turning into a good example of why people choose to write anonymous, so that violent nuts and crooks can't take out their frustrations 'personally'. Perhaps you don't know, but we here tend to put more emphasis and focus on what is being said rather than who is saying it. If you intend to argue against points of view expressed by writers using facts, information and ideas the by all means join. Using threats is often the last recourse of those who's intellectual arguments and positions are crumbling and unsupportable, frustration some call it.
Stay with those thoughts about how secure you are, it's fine. :D
