Ladies, watch your back?

Doing this blog for over a year I have made more amazing virtual friends then I ever knew. I never even thought I would communicate with people beyond my posts, but now I am unsure if I could really get on without these friends. I know my days would be more consumed with work… rather than chatting and emailing… the thought of that makes me shudder.

I also have learned through this last year that there are some fucking weirdoes on the internet. Most everyone is cool, but there are some guys out there that have the opportunity to read our personal thoughts, and feel a real connection with the girls whom they are reading about.

This has caused problems. I have heard of girls that have had to delete their blogs, change email addresses and felt all around uncomfortable with guys that have begun to contact them. I have learned to be fairly tough when communicating with people outside of this blog. Everyone gets a trial period with me.

I don’t do these things to be mean, but I have learned through experience that this must be done. If you can withstand this trial of sorts, then perfect. Of course I am not this difficult in the real world, however, I also don’t share everything with the Average Joe walking down the street that I share with you, so you can understand my apprehension.

Some guys have been freaky, plain and simple. I have terminated conversation with them or I have slapped them down so hard I am sure that they still feel the stinging. I have no problem hurting some pushy wanna-be blover’s feelings. The problem is his not mine.

However while perusing my daily reads, I have seen these aggressive, stalkerish guys on other girls’ blogs… and I get worried. For some reason I begin to get this protective big-sister feeling. Do I warn these girls? I fully recognize that my experience with some emailer may be completely different than someone else's, but should I open my mouth (or type a message) to these girls? What if it’s someone that I know through all the behind-the-blog talking has caused problems with more than one girl?

I don’t want to feel like the blog police, and that would never be my intent. So I come to you readers… what do you think? I would want someone to email me if they saw someone commenting to me. Merely for heads up, not a blog-ban… but I don’t know how this should be handled… anyone...? anyone…?
