ethics, blogs, and Richard Lett POLL

Dear readers, I find myself at place where I am unsure what to do, and so, like on "Who wants to be a Millionaire" I will 'ask the audience'.
Here are the dilemna's.

1. My blog.
Since I began writing this blog, I have only deleted one update. My famous intiation to blogging, and the Toronto comedy scene sorta blindsided me, and so I immediately retracted what I had written. Now I regret not having that blog on file, as I continue to write this blog, the highs and lows, the brutishness and beauty of it can be seen.

Recently I wrote a blog confessing to an affair that I had. I find that being honest and truthful is the only way to go. I find falseness vile, and inevitably boring, and so I write what I do and feel, as truthfully as I can.

This, of course, involvess other people who might not necessarily want 'my truth' on the world wide web. sorry 'bout that, but thats the way it is.

The question is should I remove the blog "the affairs of my life" - and if so why?

2. Ethics/Revenge

My ex managed to retro-actively cancel my dental insurance and now the dentists want 4K from me.

Meanwhile I have in my possession, US savings bonds with a value of $1500US. Do I return these to my ex, who has deliberately thrown 4000 dollars of my money away, to no advantage to herself? Do I contact her and offer to sell them to her? Or do I simply have a party of a few people, and burn them up in my backyard chilm?

This is your chance, dear reader, to weigh in, and interact with my life. Fell free to leave as many responses as you want.

    how would you feel if your daughter or the daughter(s) of your former "lover" read the details about your affair on your blog?

  2. why does being a parent require withholding of information. The truth is, these things happen. And really aren't unusual. The fact that these girls parents are sexual, and sometimes weak, shouldn't be hidden, especially in terms of an express;y personal thing - like my blog. However, I will take this as a vote for it's deletion. Thanks.

    I am all for freedom of expression, but sometimes we need to use tact in so doing. Perhaps deleting names would be a better idea, therefore making it more "anonymous"?
