  I would like to ask readers of my blog for an opinion on a subject that may be sensitive for some. Surely some people will be comfortable with making a comment, which of course the whole world will see. But some may want to keep their answer confidential. Is there any way of doing that, short of publishing my e-mail address?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Create a contact form, so people can contact you without knowing your email

  Well you could just get them to comment on the post, and just make sure comments are moderated before publishing is your settings (Setting -> Discussion -> Before a Comment Appears). Only you will see the comment, and you can choose whether or not it is published. You should tell them that is what you are doing, in case they are concerned about the comment being published, and you could ask them if they want it published to say so.
