Emily is saying that sharing too much of yourself online is a bad idea. You writes that we shouldn't think we are so different from others and we should learn from their cautionary tales by talking about how you haven't learned from Emily's cautionary tale. Is it because you are different from her? Is the difference that you would put your own cautionary tale into a more historical context? She isn't giving her advice correctly and that's why you can't take it? If you are still insisting on sharing every detail of your life on a blog...you must think you are different. I'm so confused. I don't get it.
