I thought that was a normal part of being Australian :p |

Swamper did not delete his posts for this reason, actually, and what makes you think Nou was Krysta? |

If you're not doing anything wrong, putting your safety under risk for no good reason whatsoever, or doing anything illegal... I don't see why not tell the truth. |
The first problem is that there's no consensus on what's "wrong." You can either follow the New York Times Rule (don't do anything you wouldn't be comfortable being printed on the front page of the New York Times) and censor yourself down the lowest common denominator or you run the risk something you did (and then broadcasted online) or wrote will be found objectionable by someone down the line. It's not a small number of people who've been fired for things on Facebook that I personally wouldn't call "wrong," to say nothing of the many more who didn't get the job in the first place for such reasons.
Interesting, well-rounded people are multi-faceted. How they act and what they choose to share is a highly context-sensitive process, and rightly so. The ability to keep some facets of ourselves private, beyond judgment, in certain contexts is an ability to be cherished. It allows us to strengthen and maintain relationships by compartmentalizing confounding elements away. But when people broadcast those aspects of themselves to a vast, online audience, that ability is lost--and, as far as I can see, we're all poorer for it.

I believe being truthful is a first step towards having good and meaningful relationships online, even if it leaves me vulnerable to individuals who are up to no good. It's a price I'm willing to pay... otherwise I wouldn't even bother being online (and the reason why I believe Facebook is awesome, despite all the hate it gets). |
I don't mean to reprimand you for your openness, I just think there's a place for modesty, and also for mystery, in human relationships. More than that, I think they're valuable components of human relationships. Just because you're comfortable with how you look doesn't mean you'd choose to stand around naked in Times Square. |
