@Communism_Kills AR: Feel you. Sending sympathy.

(FWIW: When I started blogging in public, we had some initial negative feedback, but taking ‘the painful truth’ approach only served to increase my reputation for brutal honesthy and legitimacy with customers. So, it depends on who your ‘byline’ is selling to, and what they’re selling, and what they want from you. If your writing exists to maximize opportunities for general eyeballs that ‘s different from whether it exists to convey you’ll speak truth to power. So you get a lot of freedom with a small powerful audience, and no freedom at all with a large powerless audience. It’s frustrating. )
