I signed up to take an online poetry class. The woman who runs it, last night, I asked her a question in private. It was about how to overcome my fear of reading my work out loud in a real life writing class. She gave me some nice advice. It wasn't anything I didn't already know, but I appreciated it, told her so, too. She recommended I take another one of her classes. This one was way more expensive though, and I said thanks but I couldn't afford it at this time.
I logged on to facebook, and saw that she had posted my question to her, and her answer to me, on her facebook page, and was promoting her class. She obviously had taken my name out so ppl wouldn't know it was me. But it really irked me, for some reason. She didn't even tell me she was going to do that, or ask me. I feel, in this weird sense, disrespected.
Is she being inadvertently disrespectful / insensitive? I kind of feel like my boundaries were violated.
