Don’t Blog Your Court Appearances

By John M Grohol PsyD
May 31, 2007

I really thought we were long since past Internet 101, but I guess it’s time for a refresher course…

1. Anonymity online is rarely 100% (unless you take extraordinary measures and never mention a personal thing about your life, your history, your experiences, or your memories).

2. What you say online will likely follow you for the rest of your life (for better or worse).

3. Don’t blog about your own court appearances, work, or anything where if the target of your entries saw what you wrote, it might negatively affect your life.

Perhaps this doctor has now learned something valuable about “online anonymity.”
