the net legacy of the words you type here - google your DU name and be surprised!
Just before I hit the sack last night, I wondered if any content of my posts ends up anywhere else....and boy was I surprised...quite a few ultra right wing blogs had some cuts and pastes of a few of my posts. Anyone else ever delved into the desintations of some of their posts? Was kind of eye opening, that's for sure...

3. When the search function here was disabled for a while, I used google.
Yeah, what I found was...interesting. I was an example of sexist hatred at Michelle Malkin's site because I made fun of the names of Palin's kids. Because the right wing have always been incredibly concerned for women's rights...

7. I don't give a shit.
On the web, if you post at all, you can expect to be used and mis-used in ways you never thought of by people you never heard of. I'm not going to censor myself because of that.

This is my favorite:

I buy the funnier ones when I see them at the store.

15. Seeing as how mine's a Greek word and garners 108,000 hits
even a partial skimming doesn't show messageboard hits, or at least not attributed to me ;)

The link at the top is pretty cool though: http://www.kentauros.ro/html/home.php

16. My journal comes up, as well as some of my DU posts.
But I'm not important enough for the freepers to hate me, apparently.

Although it's funny..I thought evoman was somewhat unique, but apparently a lot of other discussion forums have someone with my name running around.

I still think I'm the most important because I'm number one on google.

18. I can only conclude that I must be doing something right, considering the character of the attacks.
