Subject: my privacy and your reputation
Chathammatters or whatzup – or whatever you like to call yourself- I agree that you have every reason to be concerned about what your clients might think. You are a businesswoman and your reputation is important.
When dealing with information that is confidential, your clients need to know you will respect their privacy and use good judgment when handling their business transactions.
What you say about me and others in public probably does little to inspire anyone’s confidence in you. You certainly have no respect for my privacy. Choosing to say the things you do anonymously just demonstrates how reluctant you are to be honest about the way you feel. Yet another quality that clients value highly in the people they choose to do business with.
Honesty. Integrity. Truth. Respect. These are the qualities that matter the most in the way we interact with each other – both in public and in private. We shouldn’t have to depend on the Constitution or any other laws to enforce what we know in our hearts is right. We live in what most people think of as a civilized society. The least we can do is agree to be civil to one another, even if we can’t agree on anything else.
