Good points!Ivan Chewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02727226573817276108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7424038.post-72356274375146889322009-07-17T16:52:33.738+08:002009-07-17T16:52:33.738+08:00Why do I want to blog about it? To excite comment ...Why do I want to blog about it? To excite comment or get things off my chest. I may have been lucky but I have never been provoked thus far by a post or a tweet. Some things I can recall "ruffled my feathers" a bit - and I just let a silence fall which in itself can be quite eloquent.<br />Who am I when I want to blog about something (I have many personas - the critic, the fan, the beginner etc.). It up to me (if only for entertainment sake to check that I try to keep a sense of proporation related to the "voice" I have decided to use.<br />Is it my business to talk about it? This depends on the role I perceive myself in - for instance as a blogger I position myself as a esoteric professional and do not see the elements of my everyday work as at all important to my blog persona)<br />If I do blog about it, am I willing and able to live with the consequences? Again a considered blog post knows what it is doing - I like to think that I am a "reflective" blogger not just a self-publicist/narcissist or someone who needs to let off steam inappropriately (call me lucky if you like)Hazianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02846054355115407034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7424038.post-70510652414176343912009-07-17T00:08:11.146+08:002009-07-17T00:08:11.146+08:00Good point.

Hence the need for explicit policies.Ivan Chewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02727226573817276108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7424038.post-81652928022179403732009-07-16T06:17:44.517+08:002009-07-16T06:17:44.517+08:00A good revisit to the basics.

Do companies have policies on how we should conduct normal daily conversations with each other in the world? Common sense, right?nchnoreply@blogger.com
