This morning I joined in a blog conversation by adding a comment somewhat critical of someone’s professional conduct. I sincerely thought I was contributing to the discussion, but it was something I felt strongly about, social media ethics and disclosure, so I may have been a bit rough.

Some of the best lessons are taught by evaluating real world examples, but I detest the piling on mentality in social media, and this morning, I was guilty of this, and I apologize for that.

We (I in other words) need to remember there is a difference between a case study, and a person. It’s hard to know where to draw the line, and how to discuss the behavior without attacking the person.
