Bad people ruining the world for the rest of us

I was speaking to my Grandma the other night, and informed her that my site has been updated complete with blog and soon pictures of Emily (my daughter for those who aren't aware). Grandma was a bit concerned about the blog or the site containing information that may indicate where I live or where Emily and in this day and age it may not be wise due to the hideously evil people that are out there. Now from this point I need to be careful, as I know my Grandma will at some point read this site, or someone else will and mention this rant to her - the rant is NOT about my Grandma or her views.

My Grandma has made a fair point (and not for the first time in her life!), but one that I will pay no attention to for a number of reasons.

It is for some reason decided in various peoples minds, that these nasty people (or [insert extremely rude word here]'s) are a recent phenomenon, well they are not! We are just more aware of them now because of the media. I refuse to let the fact that one of these people may one day stumble across my website change what I put on it. It is here for me, my family and my friends and not them.

The idea that someone may see a picture of a child on a website and decide to do something horrific to that child is indeed a chilling thought, however no one is concerned that there may be a picture on here of the inside of my house showing what is available to burglars. I am not concerned that I have identified what I look like to the world so they can mob me in the street with words of congratulations for such an awesome site (I'm so modest!). So why should I even contemplate the other idea?

I refuse to let the fact that bad people exist ruin how I intend to enjoy my life and that's it, rant over
