Hi everyone!
an issue which a few of us wls have been discussing of late is that of respecting privacy. It arose out of a discussion on another site in which a client, mpter posting a very contentious topic, received a number of responses, some supportive and others less so.
An issue which was not picked up in that discussion beyond one comment - was that of privacy - the client who posted the original topic made a veiled threat to "out" a wl who responded to that topic.
Forums run on principles of Revieweesom of speech (within reason) and respect for each other's privacy.
The truth is that most wls I know do note ph numbers and addresses also (if an outcall is requested). Also, clients have info about wl work premises and in the case of wls who work Reviewom home, wl home addresses also.
I think it is VERY serious thing for ANYONE using these types of forums to make such a threat! Ironically, a few wls i know have the name, ph number AND address of the guy who made this veiled threat and in this world, while wls have much to lose, for clients with families in particular, I'd suggest they have probably even more to lose.
I think it really comes down to respect for each other - and since a few wls have been discussing this privately since the post was made, I think its fair to say that other people take it seriously too!
At least I hope that this is the case!
