Where was this 6 months ago when I posted something very inappropriate and wanted to lash out because they asked me to take it down? :) Another content checker would be to have someone read the post before it goes live maybe someone in another department or executive team member. just a thought.

Thanks for your encouragement here. I have a long way to go and a lot still to learn. It's probably more dumb-luck I make most of the “right” decisions at this point in my life…!

thanks mike.

You have to keep a sense or proportion. You can't "die on every hill." Save it for when a big principle is really at stake. John, this demonstrates great maturity on your part.

I know that's not really a solution but it's something. I've got a blog post in my head that I'm a little worried about publishing. I think it will come down to how I word it. I'm going to leave out my church's name completely and stay pretty objective. #1 – Great picture at the top of the post!

You know... it's hard to have to be the person to confront the blogger as well (whether you're the person making the call or the person delivering the message). After all, in some ways we're trampling on someone's ideas and passions. Blogs are a personal outpouring of our hearts, even when they are associated with what we do for our occupation. It is easy to take everything that is said or critiqued personally. However, we must find a new perspective. We need to look at the greater scope of the organization and be aware that they have a responsibility to the community at large. How we, as the church, are perceived is important for our credibility as an organization. John, this was a great post with terrific insights and principles not only for social media but for critique in general. Great post.
