1. Over the last few months I've run across a few blogs (disappearing blogs) that state "I've stopped blogging because..." Why might you consider stopping your online journal? If nothing could stop you, and you're totally committed to blogging Why?
I'd stop blogging if I don't have time or an internet connection. This won't be happening any time soon because I always somehow find time to write. And even if my computer imploded right now, I could still go to a computer lab or the library.
2. You arrive at the gates of heaven, and the gatekeeper says, "there's been a mistake..." What mistake? or Who is mistaken about what?
Nobody's mistaken. The gatekeeper is just saying that to scare the newcomers.
3. There is a theory in Psychology about silencing the self. Current research looks at whether men and women differ in how much they silence themselves and at what time/stage in a relationship they do so. On Chad's site I once read a post about how men's blogs differ from women's blogs. Do you think this is true and if so how do they differ?
From what I've seen, mostly true (teenage bloggers, both male and female, are in their own class). Men generally like to show off their smarts and wits whereas women are more prone to treat their blog as a diary. I'm weary of generalizations though. I've come across male bloggers before who've spilled out their guts like any "emotional" female and vice versa, female bloggers who primarily do commentary.
This is an interesting question though. I might have to continue ruminating about this in another post.
