Do I share too much?

[Caseyelan]

So I was just privately contacted by someone who told me they thought I shared too much of my private life.
They think the fact I facebook and twitter and post on boards is all too much and I might be hurting my husbands career by taking away the mystery of his real life.

Now, I find this totally weird.
I have posted on boards pre meeting dave. I have made MANY friends pre dave via myspace and other social networking outlets.
I like talking to people who have similar interests and enjoy the same type of comedy as I.

I see dave and I as having a funny, relatable home life, and I like to share it with people.

Do I share too much?

Do I share too much?

I guess Dave is the only one who could answer this question. If he's comfortable with it, why should anyone else care?

I will say that most people my age find it absolutely mind boggling that younger people are so willing to expose themselves on the internet for all to see. It's a different mind set. People used to staunchly believe in keeping their private lives just that; PRIVATE.

Whether it's right or wrong isn't the issue. It's whether you and your family are OK with it or not.

[RhinoinMN]

If you and your hubby are comfortable with what you share, then absolutely not. Who's to say that another person shares too much? Its your business, not theirs.

[RhinoinMN]

wow. Gvac and i should have children together to bring some sense of reason into this world.

[silera]

You will not lend me Julianna so I would say you don't share enough.

I don't think this person was against the use of these methods by anyone else. It was just ME. (as horrible as it sounds)
I mean, they use all the sites too.
Dave has never told me not to do anything.... he doesn't mind it seems.
I just wonder if me sharing really leads to people not liking my husband, at least that's what this person implied.

[Caseyelan]

Lordy I miss you.

you just shared too much,casey doesnt share sick twisted things

i dont't see how that is possible. Dave is the only one that will make someone like or dislike him. I just don't see how your sharing would affect that.

[Gvac]

I'm with Rhino on that one.

If anything, your sharing has only humanized Dave and shown him to be a loving and caring husband and father. I would think that would lead to more people liking him, because you've shown he's a lot more than what he reveals of himself on radio.

[TooLowBrow]

does casey share too much?

no

does dave share too much?

yeah, but its funny

[Nothing Sound]

Why do people give a shit about what other people have to say?

You do what YOU think is right. Fuck everyone else and their opinions.

[santino]

share whatever YOU'RE comfortable with. it's your life and family. fuck what antbody else thinks.

[Dougie Brootal]

no. I share too much... :unsure:

Whoever wrote you is an dolt. If anything, you show a normal side of Dave that will allow him to move on to other producer jobs if his time with R&F comes to an end. (not saying it will, just hypothetically)

The "East Side Dave" insane over-the-top clown is the kind of character that will only play on very few shows. On the other hand, Dave McDonald, the professional, competent producer with a quirky world-view is something that shows can appreciate. (See Dukes, Al.)

I think what you put "out there" is fine.

[Heather 8]

Unless it's somebody from your and/or Dave's family, they really have no say in what you post about.

I get the same shit from people when I post stuff about my husband (I have a "gimmick" MySpace account, and a regular Facebook). I always tell them, "MySpace is kayfabe, Facebook is 'real,' and if you have a problem, then just unfriend me."

[WampusCrandle]

there is no way that you could hinder dave in the slightest! you are an vital to his success, and fuck everyone.

[Marc with a c]

nope

[Gvac]

Again, it's totally Dave's call.

There's no definitive 'yes or no' answer.

I don't think Ron would be comfortable, for example, if his chick posted about his private life. Maybe Dave is OK with it, though.

Everyone has the right to make the decision as to how much of their personal life they're willing to share with the public.

[JackieJokeMan]

Do I share too much?

Yes

[underdog]

What Gvac has been saying. As long as you and Dave are comfortable with how much you share, then no one else matters.

A major problem with opening yourself up, though is what happened with Jay Mohr and his wife. Just because she's out in the open, scumbags think they can tear her apart for no reason.

all that matters is what you're comfortable with sharing


as long as it doesnt bother you to have it out there then why worry

[tanless1]

dave does plenty to hurt his own carreer.
are you sure it wasnt dave using sombody elses hijacked screen name ?
just keep his head down and keep writing, im sure he will continue to grow. maybe some form of meditaition the doent involve a bottle would help too.
if anything , im sure you help more than hinder.
dave will forever be a dimwitt to me, but he does grown on you... sorta like genital warts.

[tanless1]

yeah- that too !!

[Contra]

This is just funny to me because from my perspective its not like you could write something that would dramatically change the way that I view Dave. A lot of us on this messegeboard knew Dave and what he is about long before he was your husband, or had a professional career in radio. Now I know this is a small group compared to say the nation, but I still don't see how the facts of your personal life could greatly affect his career. If anything I have more respect for Dave as a family man, due to the stories you have shared. He may have hang-ups, but who doesn't, especially people in broadcasting? Dave is a great guy at heart, and even if we don't hang like we used to I still consider him a good buddy.

[STC-Dub]

Dave shares his private information in a much more public forum. It is your life so if Dave and you are alright with the information you are sharing there is nothing wrong with it.

[meanmrbill]

I might be hurting my husbands career by taking away the mystery of his real life.


I can't imagine a scenario where this would happen. I don't think anything that you write on facebook or any other social network would have any effect on Dave's career.

[beachbum]

I agree with Gvac and Ronnie B.I don't put MY stuff out there because I come from the old school mind your own business generation.What you choose to put out there is totally up to you and Dave,not your friends or family.As long as the two of you are comfortable no one else's opinion matters.

While not a stalker I have seen quite a bit of what you put up on the web and IMO nothing I have seen could in any way hurt Dave's career.Some of the shit Dave says on the air I wouldn't tell to my best friend on my death bed but again,that's just me.

[DarkHippie]

we really only want you to share some naughty pics

[GreatAmericanZero]

don't worry about it casey, you're fine

[RichDebutante]

I do not call this "sharing"

Sharing is when you cut a piece of cake in two
and give half away.

[razorboy]

we really only want you to share some naughty pics

And the creeps come out to play.

[JPMNICK]

i do not think so at all. i think you are fine. If it makes yuo happy then do not worry.

nothing you can do is going to hurt dave, it's not like you are saying he sucks and to listen to another station

[DarkHippie]

And the creeps come out to play.

I am throwing my hat in the creepy ring

I find it creepy that someone is pm'ing you to tell you how to run your life. Fuck that person and the fish they swam in on. I'd share more of my life and experiences if it weren't for the fact that I have a crazy family member (by marriage) that enjoys stalking me online.

Seems to me that this person is being a bit of a hypocrite since they use the sites too. Why is the fact that you use them "worse" then the fact that they do also.
I wouldn't let them get to me if I were you.

[drjoek]

Yes you share too much


















I just dont like a 100% poll.


If you are comfortable with youre sharing and Dave is comfortable go with your gut.

[Melk]

Do I share too much?
I will give you an honest, qualified, "no." Facebook and Twitter are only accessible to people who want to and you allow to view your account. If they are uncomfortable with what you discuss, they shouldn't've subscribed to your accounts.

I do wonder, however, why you are asking us for an opinion on this. You had the confidence to share your life with the fans, don't second-guess yourself unless you have some doubts about what you are sharing. And even then, I suggest you ask yourself and Dave about how much is too much.

If you are disclosing too much, I would assume any sane person would ignore your posts and discontinue his or her subscription to your social networking updates.

[ADF]

Can I have half of your Zagnut?

[Mullenax]

No. What could too much possibly be? What would you share that could be more "damaging" than what Dave openly shares about himself? It's your business to keep it as real as you want. Whoever pm'd you about it seems weird.

[Jughead]

No you have fans we love to hear it..Stop it!!! Just do not give out stuff you already know not to give out.....Juggy

[Freakshow]

My only issue with your twitter habits is you don't follow me. So many @ replies wasted...

[Turtle]

Do what you want.

[Freakshow]

Do what you want.

Do what you like?

[conman823]

I think you share as much of YOURSELF as you want too. Your children on the other hand.....well I personally wouldn't post any of my childrens information over the internet. It just seems like to much exposure, but again do what you want.

Whoever PMed you is a creep BTW, and thats the reason why I say your children shouldn't be exposed on the internet.
