Who blogs anymore?

In years past I used my blog like a sort of online diary. Then I received a heckling post in response to my blog and I turned it off. I don't need your drama fool. If you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all. I realized that it's dangerous to post your ideas and thoughts online. My own mother has received death threats through simply replying to the editor's letter in the local newspaper!! Seriously people?! Now-a-days you can get shot for posting your f*ing opinion. Stop. Just stop it. So my question is...who's brave enough to blog anymore?
