"but has *nothing* to do with me personally. Just some of my random thoughts and observations on the subject"

What am I supposed to think?

What's up with the asterisks around the word nothing?

When writing in first person, it is generally assumed by the reader that the author is the subject. Well, I am not.

I wanted to clarify that these were personal thoughts but not personal beliefs, and especially that the vignette in the last entry was not in any way associated with me at a personal level. In other words, it didn’t happen to me. It was a story created in my mind.
