I'm afraid having a blog doesn't take you out of the sidelines! Especially if you keep your pseudonymity. After all, "on the internet, nobody knows you're a dog", or that you have one which smells awful! ;)
Seriously, create yourself an account on Wordpress.com and play around with it over the weekend. I really think you'll enjoy it, and you can keep it on "private settings", until you're happy, so you don't have to tell us about it until you're ready.

I agree with each and every point/sentiment you've raised in this thread.
But geoff has a point. A lot of skeptics succumb to the Stockholm syndrome.
Shub, thanks - and I agree with you and geoff on that. It's a fine line.

'Win one for the Gipper, Your Grace!' ...or some other such vaguely meaningless Yankee phrase aligned to their poor and insipid substitute for cricket.
Wrong sport. Quoth Wikipedia:
George "The Gipper" Gipp (February 18, 1895 – December 14, 1920) was a college football player who played for the University of Notre Dame ... and is the subject of Knute Rockne's famous "Win just one for the Gipper" speech.
(And that's football with the pointy ball, not the round, patchy one.)
Wrong sport and totally off topic but Ronald Reagan was of course called the Gipper because he played George Gipp early in his career in a tear-jerking biopic. That never fails to remind me of Don Rickles' hilarious performance 'roasting' Reagan at a Dean Martin TV do, when he was governor of California - around 1973 it must be. YouTube is an amazing thing :)
