Why?

I have to confess my ultimate and utter confusion.

OK, so those that have been peeking in from time-to-time may remember a posting about my 'reminder' that folks were reading this. Well, how does one share that message? Here's what I am talking about.

During the past four months I have become aware of several other blogs or websites by folks that I know or am acquainted with. Most of these have been passed on by friends or are linked to friend's websites. And you know what...I am shocked. The stuff that people post on these sites - the PUBLIC sites - is mind boggling!

I mean think about it. Do you go on a b*tch about a professor or supervisor or boss and wish them "ultimate pain"? And if you are so bold to do so, do you have their full name listed?

And what about sexually related stuff? I mean, some of the stuff that people put up on public sites is SO distressing.

And beyond the sheer posting - that anyone would actually put this up - well, the problems are much deeper than a simple public exposure. Some of these folks are engaged in careers or vocations that are associated with public relations type stuff, children, caring for others...and truly I am fearful and praying for those they work with.

The final question....what does one do when one learns of these postings? Should they be shared with someone? Once I confronted someone with what was posted, and was basically told to go to h*ell. What is my responsibility here?

I ask for your thoughts, ideas, suggestions....because I have come across these things too many times. Please...and pray for these people and those they come in contact with. Some of this can be and will be extremely painful and hurtful.

Urgh.
