Why no picture ?

Some people have asked me why I don't have a picture on my profile. Its a fair question and got me thinking.

My need is to communicate. This blog is my diary, something I intend to look back on in time and see my journey.

To be able to really communicate I need to be able to write about the significant people in my life.

My parents, my sister who cares for my parent, my ex-wife and my daughter, the woman I last dated (who is on CS), the woman I hope to start dating now.

But those people have a right to their privacy. Every word I type is public information, can be searched and found.

So if I put my picture up, even if I use my name, then I infringe on their absolute right to not be discussed in public.

Thats why

i agree, i have been amazed at certain people on here who display a pic and tell the whole world their personal business, inc the business of their families children and so on, something i would never do

Obviously, I feel different about this issue. Indeed, honestly, I tend to trust a person a little more, when I see they put their face behind what they say. This media is inherently more than enough impersonal. I stand behing what I say. However, I (wisely) would not give out personal information about my friends & family, nor pictures of them to anyone online.

we should not need a picture to communicate. our words if genuine will show
who we are.

Interesting. hmm, I agree with both points - one has to be very careful these days etc etc but I also think that once one does not talk about their family, give out their address/ place of work etc it is not too dangerous and frankly if someone wants to find out about you there is very little you can do - the internet holds a huge amount of search friendly public informaiton and if you have a detectives brain (i do lol) you will find what you want. So in your case Peter, I guess I understand but in my case I have decided to go the whole way! Which was for me quite courageous as I am actually rather shy.

Anyway, if people are getting connected the language is defiantley getting through and as that lady said (emily? sory forgetname) thats all that should really matter. Not everyone is as eloquent tho lol!
