# 68: MY BLOGGING PROBLEM...

Right Now!

Dear Reader,

I recently updated my blog only to take down my latest post.  Some people have tried to click a link to it, only to find the new post is gone.  Moreover, I haven't updated further because I am stuck pondering an ethical issue (and a potentially legal one).

I had initially published one of "Kendra's" emails to me.  It didn't feel right, however, sharing her exact words; moreover, I'm not sure it's even legally okay to reproduce someone's personal email message on a blog.  So--I took the post down.

But...now I am struggling with how to proceed.  Obviously, I could simply paraphrase Kendra's emails in future posts.  On the other hand, there are parts of those emails where her wording is important to the story.  So, I am unsure how to go on.

Any advice?  Feedback on legal/ethical issues?  Please feel free to offer suggestions/knowledge.

Thanks for reading,
Jennifer
