XXCENSOREDXX

Alex Tea raised a great question as a comment to my previous post - "Who is XXCENSOREDXX? Is it one person or a number of different people?"

The answer is I use XXCENSOREDXX when I think I probably shouldn't use someone's name. Personally, I have no shame and I have very few secrets. Ask Alex Sturrock. Last time he was around the office I told him a gang of stories that nearly made him lose his lunch. In fact now we are dead to each other.

The reason that I started using XXCENSOREDXX was I wrote a couple of things about famous people in stories that were related to my work. They were personal views and not those of the companies I was working for at the time, so I didn't think it would be fair to write stuff that would make trouble for my employers. But I began to use XXCENSOREDXX more regularly when I wrote a blog or two about a well known blogger and a gossip magazine writer. Both of whom write some facts, some hearsay and some bullshit about other people regularly. But when I started writing about them they didn't like it. One of them claimed that to write about a celebrity is totally different to writing about a normal person. Isn't a celebrity also a normal person? Isn't a DJ trying to attain some kind of celebrity? I got some heavy emails. In fact they were so heavy it was starting to sound like how it feels getting your period on the first day when you have to actually use a sanitary towel and a tampon. That hasn't happened to me of course... I'm just saying... So anyway, I started using XXCENSOREDXX more often.
