Digital Laryngitis

Webster's defines laryngitis as:

Main Entry: lar·yn·gi·tis
Pronunciation: \ˌla-rən-ˈjī-təs\
Function: noun
Etymology: New Latin
Date: circa 1834

: inflammation of the larynx

— lar·yn·git·ic \-ˈji-tik\ adjective

I define Digital Laryngitis as exercising extreme control and restraint over the urge to post, tweet, or blog during a period of inflammation of emotions.

In other words don't post anything in the heat of the moment. NO rants, complaints, insults, accusations, etc. (whether accurate or not) which you will later regret and wish you could take back.

To rant or not to rant, that is the question...

EVERYTHING is archived somewhere by somebody (google, yahoo, way back machine, etc.) for whatever reason. Trust me once it's out there, there's NO getting it back.

There's a name for fools that post photos of themselves participating in questionable, or illegal activity on their MySpace, facebook, blog, etc. This term is typically used in some variation of the following sentence:

Will the DEFENDANT please rise... In the matter of fill in the blank, how do you plead?

Why in the hell would anyone post something that is going to make them look like a jack-ass?

Vanity over sanity, I'd say.

Recently I 've had a streak of life giving me shit, crap, and dung... See what's happening here?

It's a rant coming on... Oh no it's NOT!

Good ol' Digital Laryngitis / self censorship NOW ACTIVATED...

I'll thank myself later ;-)
