    Article by Ceri Wheeldon Are you like me, created an account, had a quick look. got totally confused and made a hasty retreat to the comfort of Facebook and twitter?

    Is it fear of the consequences?

    Is there a right or a wrong time to say No?

    When should we keep quiet?

    When should we speak out?

    When should we stay quiet just to be included?

    Irene discusses all of this in this short but very relevant interview!
