I have one very unbreakable rule about doing a journal---online, offline, or on a billboard. That rule is no one has the right to tell you what subjects to write about in your journal.

No, I haven't had snarky e-mail or anything. But I've seen comments by people who have received just such snarky e-mail.

I'm not saying that someone isn't welcome to write and ask for a followup to something written here. But if anyone ever decided that I was writing too much about something that mattered to me, and suggested I change the subject, I would probably be very quick to tell that person to go to hell, and I probably wouldn't mince words.

If you don't like someone's writing, you have the option of going elsewhere. I have exercised that option a number of times in the past few months.
