One of my main reasons for setting up a blog was to combat the complete inaccuracy and sweeping generalisations on the internet. Some people that are shy to voice opinions in the street apppear to have no qualms about ranting on the viral public space.
Much like that of Wilde's deceptive character of Bunbury with his country/city shift, the switch from physical conversation to viral communication can assume an identity shift or false security of 'anonymity'.
The internet plays the same function of Bunbury in allowing us to escape for a moment and be someone else, or does it? Afterall, it is inevitable that Bunbury be revealed in the end.
