I like the blog thang' but sometimes I find that I have to hinder my voice because I use my website not only for personal reasons but also business... That brought up a question -- how much can I say and how much shouldn't I say due to my audience? I have struggled with this one since I started my blog at stevenfettig.com. Nobody seems to read this anyway - or at least nobody that has the interest in writing me ;) (which is probably a good thing since I have been so bogged down with work lately that it is sometimes taking me days to answer emails... so much for fast communication.)
I will go back to my original question: how much weight do people put on our personal preferences vs. how we are in the business world? If Bill Clinton had his way, none of our personal "stuff" would ever become a matter of public or private debate. I don't agree, however, because the type of person you are in your personal life affects the things you do in your public life. Anyone who pretends that someone into sado-stuff or something considered taboo by society (for generally sensible reasons) is not going to allow their personal lives interfere with work/business is wrong... What you do at home will inevitably affect what you do on the job. Now, whether you have the type of job that allows for certain small transgressions or not is another question...
