Quote of the Day
Tradition is the precondition for man's humanness, but it is also its peril. Whoever destroys tradition destroys man--he is like a traveler in space who himself destroys the possibility of ground control, of contact with earth. But even he who would preserve tradition falls likewise into the danger of destroying it. Ben. XVI

Well, I don't know who this Ben XVI is or why we should listen to what he says. I mean, come on chaps, it's not like he's the Dalai Lama or anything.
Blog stalkers need to get a life really. Surely there are better things to do with one's life. Nobody forces you to come read anonymous. But something draws you to this place and that is a positive thing for me because it is my honest desire that truth is proclaimed and loved on this site. Sometimes the Holy Spirit takes it and changes hearts and sometimes hearts get more hardened. That is left up to Him.
what is a 'blog stalker'? I haven't come across the term before. As I understand it, a Blog is a Web Log, and as such it is published on the Web, and thus is in the public domain. A stalker, on the other hand, is someone who tracks prey or quarry, or someone who follows or observes a person persistently, especially out of obsession or derangement. It strikes me that one of the essential qualities of stalking is that the object is a person and that stalking therefore infringes on the private domain. But a blog is not a person, and is necessarily public. If you don't want people to look at it, you could always take it off the Web.
Ah, I have just looked up 'blog-stalk' in the Urban Dictionary. Apparently it means to secretly read someone's blog with the express purpose of learning more about them without their knowledge; to stalk via blog'. So, in other words, it is to stak someone via their blog, not to stalk their blog per se. Please be assured I am not a blog stalker: I have no desire to learn more about Fr. Jeff without his knowledge via his blog. He's not really my type.
