 I keep an online jurnal that I recently moved from and invite only to 
publicview at the request of my 2 older sons who are away at school and a 
few of my sponcees. for them it is a way to keep up with what I am doing, 
and a way fro me to pass on information to them or just share my opinion.

Do people who have Blogs think that no one will read them and put their

 I would hope they wouldn't, but with all media someone always does. I would 
say if you are quoting someones blog link back to the original artical.

What do you do if someone takes your blog out of context?

 Talk with them. communication is the best way to avoid misunderstandings. 
Assumptions however can be hurtful.
 
How do you let someone know if something on a blog hurts you?

 Talk with them about what they ment. make sure I am not taking thier words 
out of context.

 I still have an invite only Journal. my online journal is public becuse 
those close requested it. 

Do you think that Officers, nobles, peers etc should be held to higher

 The area is gray. I think they should be able to express thier opinion like 
everyone else. Yet as with all public media they as well as others should 
take care not to slander or defame others. It is my humble opinion that we 
are all humans beings and all falable. as such we should do our best not to 
post to the negitive. butto post things that can be benifical. in that 
aspect I think if they were using thier SCA name or tile they might want to 
keep things positive and focus on solutions not problems.
 
Perhaps these are easy or hard questions. Just trying to figure out the

 Talk with the author of the blog before talking to others. so that you know 
were the writer was intending before taking that person to the cleaners..

Looking forward to the commentary.
