There's a reason most kids work at McDonalds/Starbucks... that is all they are qualified to do! Putting yourself 'out there' online may make you some $$$ initially, but it may also cost you in the long-term as all your screw-ups, mistakes and foibles are online and archived for everyone to see. Perhaps his parents still write on stone tablets--- if they were at all tech-savy, they'd have realized it unwise for a teenager to identify themselves so carelessly online.

But in the end we should let Glenn do and be whoever he wants to be. Im sure he will try and recover from what hes been doing, and I sure hope he does. I do agree with you on some of this.

I'd like the perceived view on me to change. I don't feel it'd have been held against me in this way if I had taken a job at Starbucks, however working for another web company I feel lines have been crossed. With my blog, I did pick my domain name carefully - using my name. I understand it has gone 'off-topic' as such, but as a personal blog I feel I can push those boundaries from time to time. I'll talk on your words and try to get the original flow moving again. Thanks Daniel. Which is exactly the thing I’d like to do Daniel. I’d like the perceived view on me to change.

The only thing you can do to change it is to move in the right direction. Written responses in your defense will not change the way people currently perceive you and your work.
