For the record
The previous post was not related to drama of any kind. I am not angry with anyone. Just a minor panic, that's all.
Some people post photos of their naked, writhing bodies publicly on the internet. Other people shower with their clothes on. The extremes may seem silly to those of us in the middle, but each of us still expects our own ideas about privacy to be respected.
This whole concept of privacy is weird, you know? Oh yes, that's such an original observation to make in an LJ post. I have a phone number that's freely available to anyone who looks it up, I have an online diary that's about 90% public, and I understand that it's not always obvious that I'd like to keep the two separate. Other people have unlisted numbers, entirely friends-locked LJs, and e-mail addresses containing their full legal names and dates of birth. We all have our own ways of disclosing information about ourselves, and our ways may not make immediate sense to anyone (including ourselves).
There were other thoughts going through my head this morning, but I got distracted by the sunlight on the rustling trees outside. Ooh, pretty.
