ORIGINAL: stellauk Yeah, and...? So what? What is it with people that they have to be so focussed on what other people who they don't know are doing? The people I know in life know me, they know where to find me, and I doubt would ever think to google me. If they do, so what? The rest? What does it matter? I mean, it's not like any of us are that important. And in the odd exception that you are, shouldn't you have thought about this before setting up an account? What Stella said. I was giving some thought to this train of thought this morning actually. We have a relatively new poster that per their profile, lives near me, and took offense (imagine..) to a few of my replies to her on a thread she created and to her snarky immature emails on the other side. She did the uber mature thing of implying she had some sort of top secret information about me, 'fall into her lap'. Insinuating that she was somehow going to use it against me. I actually laughed. I mean seriously. I am a grown adult with a reasonably well functioning brain. I created this account with full awareness I was opening myself up just a wee bit more, to anonmous internet persons. I posted photos with that same awareness. I post tidbits of my life with the awareness of that also. I've also allowed a few individuals from here, into my more personal life via facebook etc.....with the awareness that I do not have any control over who they know or what they tell the people they know. That my own judgement of individuals does not always parallel that of others. I have no control over what other people may share with those they believe to be trustworthy.......or when they develope their own agendas. I accept the possible risks that make other hesitate. I am okay with my neighbours knowing I visit this site. I am okay with my boss knowing (I did have a potential s-type visit me at work one day, with flowers in hand...)my potential clients (they will certainly know via my website if I ever get a willing victim...errrmm subject...for a few photo ideas I have), my family. Some already do, others do not. Hell, the local law enforcement knows because I was the one that told them! (There was a local ass wipe terrorizing some local women on CM.) There is no one person that will devastate my life by them knowing this aspect of my life.........if they do not already know. Certainly I do not run around shouting my relationships idiocyncrasies from the roof tops. I don't happen to believe that I, or my life, is that interesting. I also believe that most people do not WANT to know and will happily continue pretending they don't........especially if it is something they do not understand or are intimidated by. But all of that said......you really are a fool if you think you can type away on here, displaying photos, that any reasonably intelligent (or not...) person with a wee bit of computer savy and interest in playing childish games with you..... can't figure out who you are. Figure out what you are willing to lose/expose BEFORE jumping in.
