Expression through anonymous public writing

There is a balance between expression and repression. To be able to express viewpoints without an interpersonal context is achieved only if the reader cannot establish the context. In order to prevent the establishment of such a context, I have to avoid certain details of my life, isolating the information in the current blog to a single subject.

The repression comes from the loss of anonymity. Knowing who you are, where you live, your occupation, past times, political views, spiritual orientation, or even your native tongue . These other contexts color the reader's interpretation of your writing, necessarily limiting your expression.

How should one choose the isolated subject?
