MoChassid

Blogger MoChassid has announced that he has accepted a high-profile position as General Counsel of what appears to be a non-profit entity.

He also has announced that as a result of this new job, "continuing this blog will be very problematic. I will be very much in the public eye in my new job and it would be highly irresponsible of me to keep blogging."

MoChassid's departure from the Orthodox blogosphere would be most unfortunate. In a medium dominated by ignorant young men and boys that has increasingly become personally nasty and cynical, 50 year old MoChassid has offered reasoned, polite, respectful and interesting thoughts on various issues including Orthodoxy, baseball and music.

I certainly understand that MoChassid's work requirements might significantly limit the amount of blogging he could do, but don't understand why he would have to quit blogging altogether. Even if his new position places him "in the public eve" and he believes many already know who he is, why shouldn't someone in the public eye be able to express his opinion? If anything, MoChassid's public position (and his use of his real name) would result in his views getting a wider platform, and he could be a great asset not only to a small part of the blogosphere, but to the entire observant Jewish world.
