    My freaking in-laws (that I live with) found my blog...and read it... all of it..

    Now they are irritated and "hurt". Shit like that is just, not suppose to happen. They took it all serious..

    I had been thinking about that plugin "does your mother know.." last week, but put it off. Bad idea it turns out... Went looking for it today to prevent any further disturbances, but I cant find a download for it. Anyone here have it?

    I cant vent on my blog now, I cant write about "sensitive" issues, shit, cant even write about what happened. Im temped to scrap it and start a new one. And now my woman wants me to apologize. Apologize for them reading my "journal"? That doesnt sounds right to me. But I dont think I have a choice.

    heh. i was waiting for a wise crack from the anti bloggers.
    It's a fair point though; atleast i keep my self porn sites highly secured.

    Fortunately besides my bro, my mum is pretty much the only person in the whole family with the ability to use the internet and its unlikely she'd go digging.

    was it an anonymous blog? if so, how did they find it!

    I would simply deny it. Say it is not your site.

    Sorry it happened though. from my persepctive it is quite funny though.

    Sure its funny, if it aint you. Its not really a big deal, he was just a little "hurt" by one of the posts, where I was pretty pissed. And now Im being forced to apologize for something that I dont feel I should have to.

    Thats like reading your daughters diary and making her say sorry to you because she wrote about how much of a dick you were yesterday. When in fact you were a dick.

    Nah, not anonymous. He asked for my email address so he could mail me something and I gave it without ever thinking about it. He just went to the domain of the email (my site, hatethis.org, my email krak(at)hatethis.org ) and started digging through it.

    Don't appologise. I don't think you have any reason to. I havn't read your blog, but I'll have a dig through it to see how bad it was.

    Can you post a link to their comment so I don't spend my whole day reading about your life (not that I would object. I have nothing elese to do today).

    well, this is exactly why dirty laundry should not always find it's way to the internet. it sucks, but it's rather funny in that ironic little way.

    lol.... this was the post. They didn't have the nerve to comment on it, they didn't even tell me they read it. I found out from my fiance (wife if we had the $$ to tie it off) that they read it, her mom told her, and she told me.

    No one, other than my fiance, has even brought it up today. She keeps asking if I had apologized yet. She told me to email him.

    Okay. The post was a little rough. I might appologise to him now.

    It is still your personal blog, and I would never stop posting, but I think that you have to make it clear to them that is your 'vent' from daily life. Say you need to do this to stay sane.

    They might understand.

    It's the main reason I use Livejournal at the moment rather than moveable type, the ability to lock posts as 'friends only' is a very big plus, you might want to split your blogs into public stuff and a private friends only LJ.

    Well, I have always led a life of a real MAN, I don't apologise even if they threaten to kill me, they say it'll grow hair on your body if you do that, for every time a man apologises another lesbian is born :D

    ps. for those too serious people, I was just joking

    Heh, I dont feel I should apologize. And so far I havent. I was not in "the wrong". He still hasnt brought it up, and it seems as if he never read it, or realized that its just a blog rant.. He hasnt acted any different.

    So until he says something, neither will I. Maybe thats just the "macho" man bullshit way of things. But fuck it, it works doesnt it. LOL.

    I was thinking about making a post going over what happened briefly and making a small "sorry" in it to him, then making another post, and sending him a link to read that other post (cause I know hed see the "sorry" one too)...but I dunno.

    If you did that, and he has half a brain, then he will know why you sent him the other link. But if that is the easiest way, then go for it.

    krak, after reading your exploit, i agree you have done nothing wrong. her parents are simply playing power games with your honesty. i really hate when people make you do something because you are with their daughter and "it will be fun". it never is, but it boosts their ego because it was their great idea.

    the whole thing ends up being a no-win. you can't always refuse their invites, nor can you be untrue to yourself and fake enjoyment. the route you took is one of honesty, and you should continue to NEVER apologize for having a bad time.

    that said, you should not expect a personal talk since you went public in the first place. their going private is the easiest way to stick it to you, and they know it.

    since it is already published, i would never take it down or edit it. if you have to apologize in private over something this dumb, you may as well have it up for the public to potentially find it. pretty much the way to not give in in total.
