FINDING YOUR COMFORT LEVEL ONLINE
You don’t have to share your name. You don’t have to share your photo or your
kids’ photos. You don’t have to post your home address or
phone number. Your level of participation is whatever you
CHOOSE it to be. There aren’t any rules about what you have to do.
FINDING YOUR COMFORT LEVEL ONLINE
You ARE encouraged to share your opinions. You ARE expected to be honest. You ARE (hopefully) going to be polite. You ARE free to disagree.
PRIVACY AND RESPECT
Once published, forever public.
