Boundaries are for sissies."<br /><br />Have to say, I kinda agree with her. Where it gets uncomfortable for me is when I cause either friends or family unnecessary hurt. It's one of those "it's all fun and games until someone loses an eye" sort of situations. <br /><br />I think for now I'm going to just continue to be me - an honest blogger. I don't really know how to be anyone else, anyway, and I like blogging far too much to give it up.<br /><br />Thank you all for your honest replies - and Cam, it freaks me out to think about that phone app!!<br /><br />Memzeegee & the hungry threehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05157103839748631293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26221967.post-40896650733204320842011-04-27T12:28:39.390+10:002011-04-27T12:28:39.390+10:00Go forth and blog!

I am sure if any of the school mum's hit you up IRL, you would say what you think to their face. That's what I love about you. Yes, you may "bitch behind people's backs" on the blog, but you would be quite willing to say it to their face too! You are awesome, and you know it!<br />Consider your opinionated stalker back! :)Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02957337984174283535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26221967.post-3272522684143091362011-04-26T21:46:21.877+10:002011-04-26T21:46:21.877+10:00I regularly read a number of blogs and recently on...I regularly read a number of blogs and recently one blogger I follow had a complete freak out when she discovered that someone had been misappropriating her content and using it on their blog as their own stuff. This was real stuff, photos of her family (no names, as you also do), artwork, stories of their activities, all inferred as being part of somebody elses life. <br />It unnerved her and her content reduced dramatically, as well as leading her along the path of having the offending blog removed, which was a long process and quite trying, by her own admission. <br />I love your blog Emzee, but between being a blog 'watcher' and a FaceBook friend I don't even have to bother much with real active contact and I know a lot about your movements and activities. 'Tis the shame of our modern life, but I digress..<br />The beauty and simplicity of 'putting it out there' does mean once it's out there it's out of the realm of your control. Other people are not as genuine or benign as you and your intentions for your content.<br />It's difficult to see how misappropriation of your content could cause harm, and it certainly didn't physically harm this other blogger I mentioned. But how would you feel if you saw your family, your photoes on another site, meshing into some weird 'secondLife' blog of another persons world?<br />But please don't stop, I love your blog!the (unemployed) baker's wife (unemployed baker, not the wife!)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26221967.post-35600644364804963852011-04-25T23:44:23.146+10:002011-04-25T23:44:23.146+10:00Blogging and privacy - I don't think there'...Blogging and privacy - I don't think there's a simple answer to that one. First of all, I don't think it's anything new - anyone who has ever published a regular newspaper column, had a show on TV, or written a memoir has grappled with similar questions. It seems like you realize that everything involves a trade-off: you put yourself out there, that gets you new friends and opportunities at the cost of occasionally ruffling some feathers. It also seems like you are making a conscious decision, and personally I love reading your blog. So you rock; keep it up!<br /><br />Personally I believe in this day and age, privacy is an illusion. Someone is tracking just about everything you do - perhaps for perfectly innocent reasons, but if someone could aggregate all of that data together, you'd be shocked about how much it would tell you. I just downloaded an app to my mac that plots everywhere my phone has been for the past year. I know AT&T has always had this data, but I'm happy to be able to see it myself. Now if anyone asks me where I was at a certain time..I don't have to guess. :)<br /><br />Therefore, I'm inclined to think the best way to be in control in transparency. Not everyone in my close circle has come around to that way of thinking, so I tend towards caution in what I blog of post about.Cameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06470039951039218265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26221967.post-23547377832590782332011-04-25T22:14:58.455+10:002011-04-25T22:14:58.455+10:00Well, I really enjoy your "bitchy" posts...Well, I really enjoy your "bitchy" posts, but then I am on the other side of the world and don't know any of those people in person! With regards to my own blog, I try to be as honest as possible, and don't pretend to be something I'm not. However, I do try not to write anything that I wouldn't want anyone else to know. I do use our real names on the blog but not my surname (although it would probably be pretty easy for anyone to find out) and I rarely post pics of my kids. I mostly post about my sewing (as I think my real life is actually pretty boring!) and occasionally about our adventures with Aspergers (as the parent of an Aspie child I find it really useful to read about others' experiences). Other than my blog friends and commenters, I really have no idea who might be reading my blog - I haven't told many of my "real life" friends/acquaintences but who knows if they have found out about it anyway? My kids may have told their friends, who may have told their mums, for example. In the end, though, like so much else in life, I think it's a personal decision about how much you share. <br />R xRachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04290653909989504581noreply@blogger.com
