“A censor is a man who knows more than he thinks you ought to.” – Granville Hicks

While reading Hugh MacLeod’s “Evil Plans: Having Fun on the Road to World Domination“, this passage rang my bell:

As the number of daily hits on this blog has grown from a paltry 5 to a massive 10+ people per day (LOL!), I’m finding that I’m asking myself these kinds of questions more often:

• “Should I write about this?”,
• “Should I say that?”,
• “What if this comes back to haunt me?”,
• “Should I take the sting out of the words?”
• “Should I renounce the usage of my stereotype acronyms?”
• “Am I pissing off everybody who stops by?”

At the end of each of these internal mini-battles, in most cases I come to my senses and say: “Suck it up you wuss and keep blabbing away. What if Darwin, Galileo, Jesus, etc, kept their traps shut out of fear?“. Hell, I don’t have any delusions about changing the world like those dudes – but I would if I had the source code (and it was written in C++).
