Great post, Jennifer. I've often felt concious about what I write in my blog and share with the world, and although there's much that I cringe at were I to read it today, I feel that having the freedom to allow yourself personal expression and creativity is much more important, no matter the consequences. I'm not saying you shouldn't be careful with what you say, I simply suggest that any action you take shouldn't be at the cost of stifling your own unique view of the world. This cartoon says it better than I ever could:

I'm fascinated by the neurosis of online identities - there is always a struggle between me wanting to write exactly how I am feeling (because it is me) - e.g. if I am angry about something - and worrying about it being seen by somebody and taken the wrong way. HOWEVER, I have always said that I wouldn't want to work for anybody that thought that way anyway because it would completely defeat the purpose. Who knows?
I guess we are all learning about expressing ourselves - not a new concept. I think I am better online than I am offline - where I have absolutely no control sometimes! :-P
