SpaceGhost had been accused of tipping The Blue Pages off on the diary concept, beating the accusor to the finish line. lol

What a drag... it was a very interesting display of the breakdown of communication. Furthermore, interesting points were raised with respects to the respective parties' definition of trust, and whether one should divulge personal information between client and sp.

It was a good lesson for many as to why you shouldn't mix business with your personal life. Especially within this industry. This issue cuts both ways, for that matter.

Due to the nature of the service provided, and all the emotional/psychological ramifications that it carries, it is extremely unlikely for two people to maintain a positive relationship where one does not become embittered by the other over the due course of time. Naturally, there are indeed exceptions to this rule. But is it worth the risk to venture out and openly encourage such friendships to develop? That is the six million dollar question...
