Just found another news article to illustrate something I always say!: BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU PUT ON THE INTERNET! EVEN STUFF YOU THINK IS ANONYMOUS OR POSTED PRIVATELY ON A CLOSED BOARD OR FORUM. A couple years ago someone accused me of PURPOSELY putting them on a porn aggregator; along with a lot of twisted statements & smears about me.

"You will not be able to publish posts to your blog until we review your site and confirm that it is not a spam blog ... Sincerely, the Blogger Team," Google said in an e-mai...

Ogled By Google Was able to get out of bed for a few minutes to check the news. (The round of conferences, meetings, flying to 4 different cities and taking care of one of my kids (who's asthma has been acting up) took its toll today. Thank goodness I am near family!! I have about 2 more weeks of this to go - a busy start to the summer.)

I believe people are not only entitled to their opinions but their personal privacy. I don't however, believe in harrassment, defamation or other school-locker-room bullying tactics online. Comments?
