Any way I could get an invitation to the forum? I don't write much on my blog precisely of this concern. If you're concerned that I'm not legit, I could provide you with my personal blog for verification (I'm very careful to dissociate my personal blog from the medical!) Enjoy your writings, and so agree! Moof,

However, even that comes with risk. All it takes is one person to sign up under false pretenses - say, for instance, someone who knows one of the bloggers in real life - to get in, print out or link to a private post and use it to expose that person. As long as the risks are known, I would think that prospective bloggers could make a more informed decision about how and under what circumstances they would like to participate. For some, that may mean blogging under a new pseudonym. For others, it may mean choosing different subject matter, or approaching it differently. And others - it may not impact at all. But I was stalked in real life from posts that were made completely under a pseudonym. It was a highly read and trafficked blog, and the person who did it simply proclaimed himself a private investigator to gullible site users. He was neither private nor a professional investigator after I filed a complaint with another state's licensing board. he disappeared into the ether, and I know he has all of my personal identifying information, but I do not even know what he looks like. So, consider nothing private, Assume that all of your information is public. If you can live with that, you are probably going to be OK. But if not, I'd seriously reconsider blogging. (From the blogosphere, it appears to happen to women more than men, but in healthcare blogging, it may be more of a physician/nurse risk factor than a gender issue.)

What can be done to protect us? I am doing the HON code, but I am not sure that really covers what we want to do. We need to discuss. Rob I agree with the forum. What can be done to protect us?

I hustled over and found that closed/only invited message. Then, later, at Dr A's blog, Dr Dork commented that it was only temporary and he'd be back. I hope you have seen that by now. I'll watch with interest to see what you have in mind for the forum. regards jmb Hi Moofie,
