The questions posed here are good ones. Things have changed with facebook, we can reconnect with childhood friends, we can show our best face to the world, our true face, or something in between. We can delete friends from our account when they overtsep boundaries, this is a control that is so important to me. We can hear how folks we know spend their day, get ideas of how to better spend our time, our money, our resources. We can learn things NOT to do, then there are the bigger questions of ethics once we start to discuss mental health websites as Dr. John is so bravely going to do. Let us root Dr John on, as he represents us and all the good that happens here, these are issues that others should know more about, PC can spread like wildfire!

sound like a much needed discussion. My eyes perked up when I read about how information about ones mental or health status might be more assesable .

First thing that crossed my mind when I got diagnoisied with cancer was insurance companies finding out and how that could effect my life.

I also used to hang out on a forum that would set up list of hints on how not to start up relationships with certain individauls with a particular type of personality disorder an well as tips o how to maintain no contact and block such people .

very scary and damaging .

No controls on stoping that kind of behavior and individuals given encouragement and free reign to do what ever.

Makes it difficult for those trying to improve thier lives to feel

safe and good about themselves and Hopeful.
