I don't get it.

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 think that this is an outstanding post… whether it be career challenges, personal challenges, family… anything… so often we are used to thinking that we are the *only* ones with these challenges that we alienate ourselves and don't learn from what others have done to rectify the situations.
Great Post!

I had always thought that a blogger/podcaster has Freedom of Speech rights, but I guess not.

Your own words being used against you is not a violation of "Free Speech Rights." It would be a free speech violation if you were prevented or arrested for making them in the first place.

If I confess to a murder, it is not a violation of my free speech rights if I am thrown in jail for said murder based on my confession.
