I am a little confused. You mentioned you met this person online, were you already interacting with this person in a guidance counseling way and then suggested this person read your blog? I am just wondering if you invited criticism without realizing it when you were interacting with this person. Maybe that is what sets this person out in a different way than the average person who reads your blog that doesn't look at it or you in the light of being able to counsel them. Maybe this person figured that since you told her/him to read your blog that person could ask you questions and expect you to advise them further. Do you have a way of revisiting that conversation to see if that is what was what came about that ended up upsetting you? I am just thinking that if you were helping someone like in a thread here when they shared some problem and then you said some things you thought were helpful and then said "here is a link to my blog that might help you if you read it". That is different then just a random person reading your blog in that you were also advising or posting to a problem this person was having like people do here in their different threads. Does that make sense? I can totally understand your being upset and that your blog is well received and important to you. I am just wondering how this person and you conversed before this happened that you may want to avoid experiencing again because this person expected more of you. Does that make sense?
