why be appalled? your response is just as immature as theirs was...if you want to consider your work professional then think& act like it. you mention boundaries then respond at the same level she does. be the professional..it isn't about just writing like one, it is also about handling the responses, the conflict etc. if you put your thoughts out on a blog, be prepared for reactions... the entire world can read and respond and that is a boat load of readers..each with an entirely different perspective.
I do not understand your response to Eve. Why does she need to say she is not a life coach. A blog that offers help or perspective and advice is meant to be helpful. I do not see how that would make people assume she is a certified life coach. If she was a life coach I think she would say that and maybe advertise her services but I do not believe she needs to say she is not a life coach. Blogs and websites that offer advice do not need to add disclaimers that they are not something. I do not think that being a professional makes you immune to insults and gossip and she is allowed to be upset about it. Just because she has a blog doesnt mean she has to be "professional" and tolerate the insults. Of course she would be affected by it.

Why would you say "pseudo life coach"? She has said she is not one and doesnt claim to be one. How is offering advice or experience make someone seem like a life coach? I usually like your responses and honesty and feel like we are similar in the way we are direct about replying to people but in this case i feel like you are being harsh unnecessarily.
