Are you going to let us know if you respond to one of our posts like you did here with Sky?
I only ask because I don't read blogs, so how will I know? |

Yes I will. I was posting the complete post and person who posted it so that one I wasn't going against any copywriting infringements and two so that everyone can find their replies and started adding my blog links here. I have since found out I don't have to post the complete post and who posted it to follow the copyright laws here so the blog entries will no longer include who wrote the post but will include the subject line of the post and where the post can be found sometimes a summary and then my reply. and yes I will be continueing putting my blog links in the threads here so those that dont know how to find the blogs or don't go into the blogs will see my blog and especially my reply to their post.

Like I said no complete posts and names will be there now that I know I do not have to document them to follow copywrite infringement laws. sometimes there will be a summary, what message board I found the post in and a subject line. - here is how I did it last night - hope the link works still working on posting links and getting them to stick. -

So, you might post a link to my original post or thread in your blog? Is that how I am reading this? So someone from a search engine could still link to my post. That's sort of the same thing isn't it?
![]() I'm totally confused, lol. IF that's what you mean please don't post anything that can be linked back to me. Thanks, Petunia |

You're welcome and I don't expect you to. Like I have said many times including within my blog my blog is for MY opinions, MY therapy program, MY research experiences and MY online support and therapy group experiences and so on.

Myself, it isn't clear to me whether you are agreeing to respect the requests of members who do not want their posts (full or in summary), subject lines, or names included in your blog.
Thanks, LMo

As soon as I figure out how to set one up, I will be doing the same thing - just writing about my own stuff, where I don't have to worry so much about offending others about how I choose to express myself. However, this will strictly be my stuff only. No references to others' posts; no involving other people. Just ME and MY therapy and MY experiences...
I got this idea from a blog site I found. It follows the recovery of a male diagnosed with BPD for about 3 years. What struck me about HIS blog is how he was able to keep it totally focused on his recovery process, providing details about his personal life only to the extent to which it related to his recovery. He was very focused on his experience with therapy and how it related to his experiences; and how he grew in his knowledge about his illness. It is really a facinating read. It is precise, eloquent, and very, very insightful (not all over the place, and not getting caught up with lengthy explanations of justifying his behaviours. He wrote consistently with objectiveness in mind, and it really shows. If you are interested.... Anyhow, I would not want to be included in, referred to or in any way associated with your blogs, just like everyone else. I would feel so violated and, apparently, many feel the same way. I won't be checking your site out now that I know your intentions...but I'm guessing you don't really give a %#@&#! right now, which is ok, too. Best of luck in your endeavour! Altered State

Thanks. and no Im not having a problem.
this issue has come up here on psych central before. not directly related to my blog but just the fact that sometimes people get a false sense of security when in on line support groups. normally (in real life time) support groups have confidentiality rules and so on. but when on line in PUBLIC COMMUNITY MESSAGE BOADS that confidentiality does not apply. the whole world wide web has access to public message boards just by locating the websites main page or other resourses so there is no way to enforce any confidentiality rules of ON LINE PUBLIC COMMUNITIES. They are OPEN to the whole wide world, friend or foe, relative or stranger. But sometimes because it is a "support group" people forget its NOT a closed group like in real life. and get shocked when they realize what they post is PUBLIC for qall to see and use at any time. Look how many times people have copied and pasted pictures, posts, articles, links and so on just by going to other websites and then cutting and pasting them here without permission from the website or author.. Same thing if its open to the public its open to be used in any way that anyone wants be it to cheer someone up, or write their thoughts or a way to express how they are feeling, which is why people have from time to time brought up threads about on line privacy issues here at psych central. Psych central advertises publically the Psych Central website and the blogs are searchable by search engines so there is no telling who is visiting and from where so everyone has been told many many times Psych Central COMMUNITY area is not searched by search engine but t he rest of the site is so everyone must always only post what they are comfortable posting here knowing full well that non registered members can at anytime read the posts and threads here in the community area. As for links from my blog to here - No I am not posting links in my blog to the message boards. that has ALREADY been done by doc John or whoever sets up the blog sites BEFORE I even got access to my blog. when people register for a blog their blog automatically contains two links within their blog when they are given access to their own blog site. those links ALREADY PREINSTALLED are called - "Psych Central Forums" and "Psych Central" From the first day that Psych Central assigns a member their blog site ANYONE who visits the blogs has access to the community message boards by way of the ALREADY PRE INSTALLED links. I HAVE NOT PLACED THOSE LINKS THERE. THEY WERE ALREADY THERE WHEN I GOT MY BLOG SITE FROM PSYCHCENTRAL ADMINISTRATION. The only thing I did was chose not to delete them after I started my blog. people doing searches that match with my blog for the past two years or more that I have had my blog have been coming in to read the message boards. Just like anyone who does a google search for depression can be lead to the main psych central webpage and then all they have to do is click on the word "community" and be here reading the posts and threads here. the bottom line is the community area is Public and people do read the threads and posts here no matter who they are where they live and so on. As for writing my thoughts in my blog about what I am reading on the PUBLIC boards I am not doing anything that many other bloggers here have not already done and am not doing anyhting that I have not already done before in my blog the only difference is that I am being upfront about it. A blog is a persons journal about thier own thoughts about their own experiences and being in online support groups are a part of MY experiences and so on for the past 5 years. And that includes posts and threads in my many on line support groups that I agree with, disagree with, grab my attention, make me laugh and so on.Those that have been reading my blog now for the past two years have already been reading about my on line experiences in on line support groups. Im not doing anything that I have not been doing now for the past 2 years. |

I think the problem people have is that they don't want to be mentioned by name or thread or post in your blog. Yes, PC's main page and ther est is searchable, but there's the extra effort of clicking on another link (community) and doing a search there if you are looking for something. That's the way we like it and we don't want you to bypass that extra click by putting us in your blog.
You are relatively free to say what you want, but being a member here, and knowing what we go through day by day and the paranoia that someone will find us here etc, you should realize that out of respect you should not mention anyone. Forget rules and guidelines, see the people here, there fears, and don't increase them.

I wont be mentioninng people by name. Doc John has recently told me that specific names were not allowed so I am going through my blog entry by entry removing and changing names that I had proviously in past entries have mentioned. But the bottom line is that I am not the only one that is linking blogs to other blogs and psych central message boards to blogs. Last night I was in technical and found a thread where one member posted to an administrative person asking how to do this. that thread was posted in 2005 if I remember correctly. Now The only difference from me and those that have for example mentioned my blog and have slammed my blog and threads and posts with in their own blogs is that I am being upfront with everyone that I DO and have been since I first began blogging been discussing MY being in on line support groups and MY opinions of what I am reading within those PUBLIC on line support groups.
I fully understand why people are upset at the moment. They just realized that their posts placed within PUBLIC message boards ARE open for others members and not to discuss within their blogs, websites and so on, Just like members here have from time to time gone to other on line support groups and or websites somewhere out on the world wide web and have brought the information that they have found out there and brought it in here and into their personal blogs. PUBLIC Message Boards means anyone and everyone members or not, friends or enemies, relatives or strangers can and do read those message boards and blogs and can publish on line their own opinions of what they are finding on line. Regardless of if it is here at Psych central, or for example Glitter.com, Image.com, SIDRAN, NAMI ISSD, nancyjnapier.con, a game site, (You can find many exmaples of this within the Dissociatibve Disorders message boards by me and others including those that are upset that I have disclosed that I do put with in my blog my opinons of what I am reading here on the PUBLIC message boards.) If it is not a closed community where people have to register to have access to those message boards what is posted IS PUBLIC and free to all. The only difference between me and those that are slamming my PUBLIC message board posts and my blog with in their own blogs, and sending out warnings about my posts, threads and blogs either by pm, email or within their own personal blogs is that I am being up front with everyone and saying I do put my opinions have been since I first began blogging and now that includes my replies to some of the PUBLIC message board posts and threads within my blog. Someone here has asked how other members here will know that I am replying to them, will I be posting a link here to my blog reply and the answer is yes. Am I placing links in my blog entries to the posts here No, My blog and anyone elses here that have a blog here ALREADY has two links so that anyone that finds the blogs can and do and have already for over a year been coming in here to the PUBLIC message boards and reading these same threads and posts that I will be blogging my replies to. Outsiders are ALREADY reading what is posted here in the Public message boards by way of the hundreds of blogs that contain those already installed links and by way of the sites main website page. The only difference in what I am doing in what has not ALREADY been happening is that I have chosen to be upfront with the fact that I have been and am discussing with in my blog the public message boards and my replies. I am not doing anything different then those that go to other online groups and websites and come here on the public message boards and in their blog discuss their own personal opinions of what they are finding out on the world wide web and sharing those opinions with people here, and those that discuss me and my blog and PUBLIC message board threads and posts within their personal blogs for the past two years. I just happen to be the one that is admitting to including my opinions of and replies to PUBLIC message board posts and threads. From day one people are told when they register that the PUBLIC message boards are OPEN for registered and non registered members. People not registered do "lurk and read" before deciding to become members. SO to only post what they feel comfortable posting and having revieled to others outside this community area. Many times this issue has come up when someone posts someone they know was doing research on line and came across Psych Central and recognized their threads and posts so they want to change their names, This issue has been discussed many times when someone here has told someone in their real life that they are here and now want to change their names, This issue has been discussed many times when threads asking if people here tell their therapists that they are here, This issue of the PUBLIC message boards not being closed to outsiders has been discussed many times when people have asked Doc John for a members only and closed to the PUBLIC message board area, and this lack of privacy has again been discussed when Doc john honored that request and came up with an idea for a closed to the PUBLIC message board. People here are very much aware of the fact that the members here are NOT the only ones that see their PUBLIC message board posts and threads. Whether or not they choose to follow the advice given to them of only posting what they feel comfortable having outsiders read because the PUBLIC message boards are open to all not just members is up to each person to decide. And MANY times when this lack of privacy comes up it has been discussed that ANYONE that has accidentally posted something they don't want outsiders to see can pm a moderator and administrator and discuss having those posts and threads removed. Rules and guidelines aside? no people here are very much aware and have been from the first day that they registered that the community message boards is a PUBLIC area and to use online edicut of only posting what you are comfortable as being disclosed to others outside the community. This site does PUBLIC advirtizing so that these message boards are usable to us for free so there is no limit to who can come here and read these PUBLIC message boards. If anyone is upset it is because they chose to disregard that information given to them at the time they registered and first posted here or they forgot. I do respect and care for each and every person here which is why many many times as this issue of lack of privacy on the public boards comes up I repost the fact that this site is and always has been open to the public. And Forget rules and guidelines? No that is how people get banned and suspended from on line groups because they have forgotten the rules and guidelines. not to be rude and so on but if people remembered the rules and guidelines here they would not be getting upset whenever they encounster lack of privacy on line. A good rule that I follow is that being on line is like sending a post card through the US mail - quick and easy, nice picture on one side but the other side where you write the letter is open for all to see. By remembering the rules and guidelines that I was given when I first registered here and remembering PUBLIC means open to all members or not I remember NOT to post any personal information that I have not disclosed with in my life outside of the on line community. And I do NOT disclose any personal information on line that will enable those with in the on line support groups to locate me in my life outside of the on line support group. Outside of on line support groups have confidentiality rules. On line in OPEN and PUBLIC groups there is NO confidentiality rules for the public areas. |

you can try to justify your sharing of other people's posts til the cows come home and it still isn't going to change anything. as we say in Texas, "that dog won't hunt"........
... members here are saying is that they don't WANT you to talk about their posts, include parts of their posts or share anything else pertaining to them in YOUR blog. i am asking YOU what part of "leave me out of your blog" do you not understand? you've made your point, over and over and over, about anyone can read this, etc. etc. etc....but that doesn't mean that the posters signed up here knowing that another member was going to take material from their postings and use it in her blog........ why is it so difficult for you to respect the poster's wishes? looks like a no brainer to me. p.s. you repeatedly mention that you're being criticized for what you're doing, doesn't that say that you may be wrong in this? it's okay to be wrong. and it's okay to apologize for upsetting people unnecessarily. |

Sounds like Myself has her **** together in justifying her blog. I won't be reading it myself. But, now, discussion of personal aspects of one's own life seems to be fair game for any and everything...even on PC.

you miss understood me when I said forget the rules!!! I meant that you should not be debating the rules here, but rather debate the fact that it seems you don't want to acknowledge the wishes of people here. By no means did I say don't follow the rules, I was just trying to change the perspective.
You are going around in circles saying the same thing over and over, and I get that, but you are not adressing the real issue IMO. The point is that although we all know this is a public board we like the fact that we are "2 clicks" away instead of one, which would happen if it appeared in your blog.

Thanks seeker for understanding.
![]() Fayerody thanks for your opinion ![]() and Tanya yes I am going around is circles aren't I. Sorry about that. But I don't know any other way to explain to everyone that People have been able to come here from the blog area by way of Psych centrals installing their advirtizing and blogger quick links called Psych Central forum for as long as we have had this new server for the past year. So for the past year the community public boards has been only ONE click away regardless of if and who talks about the message boards or not and if you read the blogs you will see that I am not the only one that for this past year has been discussing the public message board threads and posts that they found interesting, upsetting and so on, and will see that other blogs do contain the pre installed by psych central administration the link to bring outsiders here to the community message boards. Now If you have a problem with the fact that psych central publically advirtizes the website and that those links have been installed within the blogs for advirtizing and quick access to the community boards by outsiders and bloggers alike, and that the community boards are and have been for the past year only one click away I can't address those issues because doing that was administrative decisions. I can explain to people that I am not doing anything new that I haven't already been doing and I can explain that I am not the only one that discusses the public boards with in my blog and I can make sure that I am following Doc Johns rules and one of those is that I be aware at all times that others outside the community do come here by advirtizing and following links so only post what won't get me up shoot creek if someone in my real life comes here and recognizes me. But take care of everyones fears? Im sorry I cant do that. Everyone here has to make their own choices and do what is right for them and that includes what they choose to post with in the public message boards, and taking care of their being triggered, fears and so on. My decision to include my replies within my blog and then post a link here to the blog entries was because people were posting on the public boards that they were upset because they don't like reading MY experiences and information on the public boards and or are not like me. Sometimes it triggers people who are not the way I am and have not had my experiences and by doing it this way MY experiences and information and so on is not right in everyones face. Now only the people who WANT to know what I am posting as a reply need to see it. Now people don't have to worry about using the ignore icon and accidentally being triggered by my posts and threads. Now seein my replies is a choice becuase they are CHOOSING whether of not to click on the link to read my replies. I tried as many ways as possible to put warning within my reples and I tried as many ways possible to point out my posts and threads are MY experiences by placing disclaimers within my posts and threads saying MY experiences and so on may not be for everyone and if what I post doesn't fit or if what I am posting is triggering for that person to use the Ignore icon so that they don't need to see MY experiences and so on. Well for what ever reasons that did not work for others here. I care alot for people here and am trying to find a way that those that want and need my information and experiences can have them WITHOUT triggering those that dont. Ive tried adding warnings to my posts and tried pointing out the ignore icon this was the only option left - to move my replies to the blog so that only those that CHOOSE to click on the links will read them. I also from time to time let people know how to find my blog as a reply for a question that they have asked. This way I don't have to keep repeat typing - to get to my blog bla bla bla. Or I retype a blog entry as a reply to someones question. This way they can now just follow a link to the corresponding blog entry if they CHOOSE to, and I don't repeat type blog entries here. |
