Here's the beginning paragraphs:

"They didn't stand out from the crowd, their silhouettes gave no indication as to the nature of their association. They were laughing, chatting and having a few well deserved Friday night drinks. It was only once one of them turned and recognised me that I was able to pick them out from the other patrons of the Ship Inn.

There are no obvious demographic indications that these people would otherwise get along. The Male/Female split is roughly half, the ages range from 18 to 49 with an average around 30 and there are few professional links outside of their online exploits.

You wouldn't pick it, but these dozen people lead a strange and exciting double life. They all have jobs, mortgages and families but they are also bloggers, tweeters, techies, podcasters, citizen journalists and for the most part, opponents of the government's ISP filtering scheme. According to Bernadette McMenamin, these people are all supporters of child pornography. Nothing could be further from the truth."

Emo: Older Than You Think & Whatever

Wed, 10 Dec 2008 16:05:02 -0800

From the article:

"It comes as no particular surprise that my writing advice to teens occasionally irritates teenagers, many of whom do not take kindly to someone telling them their writing likely sucks and the only thing for it is to keep at it until it doesn't suck anymore. They also occasionally get annoyed when you suggest to them (as I do in this follow-up to the original article) that the condition of being a teenager now is pretty much the same as it was 20 years ago (or 40 years ago); the trappings may change (iPods instead of Walkmans instead of transistor radios) but the basic concept is pretty much the same, so despite their feelings that ZOMG EVERYTHING IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT NOW, it's really not so much."
