Thanks to all who commented!

In some ways this post was obvious, in other ways it was rather difficult to write. I’m glad to see that I’m not that only one who values kindness and integrity online.

I like Mike Hayne’s comment about the “Mother test” — made me laugh! It’s so true though. Another outstanding post Laura, keep it coming, I always look forward to reading your work.

Great stuff, Laura!

Good reminders like these are always helpful and important.

One other (and I would hope related) thing that I frequently observe is the I-AM-THE-ONLY-EXPERT syndrome. It may not result in malice or slander, but I believe that people who boast — or otherwise try to come across as the only experts with the only true answers — are on the fast track to ruining their online reputation as well.

If you’ve ever witnessed any of that, you know what i mean, and i won’t elaborate on this. If you haven’t . . . well, just give it time.

At any rate, thanks again for the article and keep up the good work!

If the post helped even one freelancer, it was worth it.

nice reminder…It’s so easy to get caught up in our very human emotions not giving a second thought to the impression we may be giving those that don’t know us. At times, I know I have been guilty of saying/posting status messages in the heat of the moment. I just saw a few comments today made by others that I’m sure in time they may wish that that can retract. Hopefully, they won’t come back to haunt them. thanks again for the gentle, but necessary, reminder.
