I was surprised how violated I felt about my coworker using my blog against me in an attempt to get me fired. I was not sure I had the right to feel that way because - hey, I put it out there for anyone to see, right? I was not ashamed of what I had written, why should I be? There was nothing inappropriate about it. I stand by it, all of it, the good, the bad and the poorly written.
Yet I felt hugely violated by the whole thing and found I could not post on my blog.
Which is kind of lame when you think about it. It's not like I was raped or anything. Nonetheless the feeling is real. Trying to deny a feeling like that is impossible.
So the blog had to die. Which sucks.
I have to go now. I have work to do for the Vast Left Wing Conspiracy.

I'm not sure I would be able to take my blog down, since sooner or later she would know she had that "victory" over me. I'm heedlessly stubborn that way. But it's still sad to see your blog go. Sorry you had that trouble.
I agree, I would not have taken the blog down - I would rather repurpose it, change the domain name and title but keep the content while amending it to make it anonymous. I do hope you haven't destroyed all you ever posted.
My thoughts are with you. x
