I am still persona non grata at a few Bermuda firms after writing this: http://alephblog.com/2007/05/16/back-from-bermuda/ My blog had maybe 10% of the reach that it has today, but when one or two in Bermuda read it, it was passed around like wildfire on the Rock. It embarrassed my sponsor, a genuinely good guy, immensely. For his sake, I wish I hadn't written it. That said, everything written there was true. With great power comes great responsibility.

My blog had maybe 10% of the reach that it has today, but when one or two in Bermuda read it, it was passed around like wildfire on the Rock. It embarrassed my sponsor, a genuinely good guy, immensely. For his sake, I wish I hadn’t written it. That said, everything written there was true.

With great power comes great responsibility. I learned a lot that day.

We are journalists, not scribes. If someone is talking (or leaving a message), it's on the record. I'm damn sick and tired of people coming into the field thinking it's a entré to social mobility.
