That's what John Legend calls today's mad bloggers and Internet writers. People get online, hide behind a screen name and say all kinds of vicious things they'd never say in person. Like the "liquid courage" of loud drunks, the Internet has created a kind of "digital courage," whereby ppl get the nerve to judge others and start all kinds of rumors and lies. It's easy to be a "writer" these days....And once it's in print, the "public" takes their opinions as fact.
But a real WRITER- that's a whole different creature. It's someone who has a very real courage. It takes far more brass and skill to bare your soul before the public. To stand behind your words, having full knowledge that they shape others' opinions of you. It requires a love of language, a belief in the exposure of truth and a hypersensitive passion. To lay your emotions out in the permanency of pen and ink renders you naked.

People will always have their opinion about expression. I don't care how you let it out, as long as it comes out. Whether it be online, on the phone, in person, or in a book, expression is expression. A real writer can express themselves in any forum. Kudos to the Keyboard Gangsters.
