I'm fine with you ...Yup, I reckon that would work. I'm fine with you including all expletives/cussing/swearing but I understand your concerns.<BR/><BR/>If there are bits which you are concerned about upsetting certain people then maybe you could interrupt with italics in [] and explain how you feel about it now. But, for your sake, it could be better to exclude anything that is going to cause you stress at all. Do it for you and how you want it; what you would like to share.<BR/><BR/>Yes, good on the internet. This way many of us can learn and understand things we may never otherwise come across.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and how wonderful to be able to publish! Very exciting!eleanor bloomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11642298362764360355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699389924044472782.post-35896819458093567632007-07-18T17:40:00.000-06:002007-07-18T17:40:00.000-06:00Dear Eleanor and How,I think I will probably post ...Dear Eleanor and How,<BR/><BR/>I think I will probably post a semi-expurgated version here, things like 'mother [f*****s]'using [--] to contain profanity and publish the unexpurgated version on an orphan blog I started but rarely use. Would that work? <BR/><BR/>The parts that concern me the most now, actually are some of the things I wrote about 'the [Hindus]' which I know many of my friends now would find as offensive as I find Sardar 'jokes.' These are views that I don't hold and only expressed in the anger, pain and frustration of the moment. People read my blogs, much to my amazement, and I do not want to be quoted as saying these things. More importantly, I don't want the 'Sikhs' to be quoted as having said these things and holding these views. Collective responsibility is stupid, but it does exist. I need more time to think about this.<BR/><BR/>A random thought has occurred to me. I have had a couple of offers to publish this blog in printed form. Silly question: would such a book be banned in India? I think of the censors' reaction to <I>Amu</I>:“Why should young people know a history that is better buried and forgotten?”<BR/><BR/>Thank God - or Al Gore, hehehehe - for the Internet! Oh, yes, I am in a fine mood today. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for your comments. They really do make my day.<BR/><BR/>MaiMaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17093308712240415770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699389924044472782.post-90899160058967287142007-07-18T17:38:00.000-06:002007-07-18T17:38:00.000-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Maihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17093308712240415770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699389924044472782.post-83047433977617187182007-07-18T04:48:00.000-06:002007-07-18T04:48:00.000-06:00ha ha.. i personally, would love the uncensored.

So sorry to hear that your health is bad. I am impressed by your high spirits and good humour. <BR/><BR/>I've had to burn/shred a few journals too. Hopefully if your brother did have a peek, he couldn't read your cryptic scribbles! Good idea actually... ;)eleanor bloomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11642298362764360355noreply@blogger.com
