If there was a single incident that triggered this post, it was from a participant who muttered a comment about predators in a very smug way. I don't recall our specific discussion but certainly I don't mean to say it wasn't valid. My frustrations comes in that it continues to be the very first question. It's not that I feel that everyone should be aware but am frustrated by those that are quick to believe false and hyped media reports instead of asking thoughtful questions. My blog does offer the occasional rant and while it's not my intend to offend, it is my intent to "stir the pot". That said, I appreciate your pushing me on my approach and I certainly will take into consideration your thoughts. I'm glad you posted as this is the purpose of the blog, not simply to agree with me but to help me learn. Thanks. Tanya,

I believe that you were referring to the question that I asked at Showcase (although the quote that you included in your post was not completely accurate). It was not my intent to "bring an important conversation about learning to a grinding halt". I was actually hoping to get information (from someone that I respect and trust) to use when I am questioned for using photos (of my own children) online. I am on your side. Your post made it seem like I was the enemy, against all things good only after posing what I still believe was a fair question. I was very offended by the title of your post - "I'm telling you for the last time". It implies that this is information that everyone should know & that it is a complete waste of your time to have to discuss it yet again. I have only been on my Web 2.0 learning journey for the past year. I have completed the "Meet the Stars" online course and I have subscribed to your blog for the past year. I am not an idiot (although I did feel like one after reading your rant). I am far behind you in terms of Web 2.0 learning, however I am leaps & bounds ahead of many other educators. If you are indeed "frustrated with the lack of knowledge that folks have about this issue", I would hope that you would use the fantastic opportunity that you have (via your presentations & via this blog) to teach not chastise.
