Lou,

Please don't do it. Just because it is here to stay does not mean that
one should embrace the trend. This atomization is bringing us all to the
lowest common denominator, the self -- an old ploy to divide us
further. This may be the latest game of the day, but it's still a game, not
an exercise in democracy. We do not have to play it, however.

How many blogs can one read every day?

You know this better than I do: The more you dilute -- atomize -- the
more you control... The obvious question is: Who's in control?

Not you. Not me.

This said, I apologize to you and the list for my emotional outburst.
Put it, belatedly, on our current move and the consequent stress it
occasions.

(For those who do not get the meaning of "masturbization," let me just
say it has to do with commodifying masturbation, mind and youth
included.)

Best,
Gilles
