Thank you also for sharing why you started blogging. Frustration with almost anything, even the idea of wanting something that is currently possible but not there, can result in us doing something.

Thanks for your comment. I really appreciate it.

marahmarie, thank you for your comment.

Yes, for such people, it is only “a few people” who are noticing something wrong, but since the majority of the people are playing along and either not caring or not noticing, such people keep on doing whatever they want to do without considering other people or things. I am glad you expressed that.

>Frustration with how many bloggers do not understand that manipulating their users is not something that can be hidden forever…

You put that well. Anyone who even loosely fits that description is a moral relativist, operating on a, “Do as I say, ignore what I do” philosophy. Anything questionable they do can be rationalized or explained away with a few clever excuses, or even ignored so they can rant about *your* flaws instead. If a few people complain about their lack of honesty, so what? It’s only a few people who “probably have nothing better to do”…that’s moral relativity at it’s finest.

It frustrates me, too.

Thanks for the post.
