General Chat

I told John outright I did check that he was the real person with the genuine name on his contact info. This was for one reason, his style was very familiar, it reminded me of an old member who caused huge amount of trouble on here.

However since then John told everyone that the name he gave was not his name, identity theft was it ? Even though he is easily contactable via the www due to his online publishing.

One cannot have privacy if you invite contact on the Internet. Searches are interwoven and a simple search brings up a multitude of links. They pop up at you even if you are not looking for them.

I've been wary of the abilities of anyone 'looking me up' on here since I was told in no uncertain terms that 'Rose' is not my "real name" :-S

I have never met anyone from here or any other site, I post infrequently but do read a lot of the threads, sometimes I post my opinion on something ,sometimes I find someone irritating and have said so but most times I just pass on to the next thread.
I don't post personal stuff on here and I would never dream of researching to find out if someone is married or not or have children or where they were born, doesn't actually matter to me if they are being truthful on here as I am never in all probability going to meet them, There may be reasons why someone invents a story around themselves but to me this place is cyber and I take some of what I read with a large pinch of salt.
Can't imagine why someone would want to google and check up on someone if not connected to their own line of research or maybe have been on WDYTYA.

Very creepy imo

Not at all creepy when there is a very valid reason to check if someone is who they say they are!

I don't lie and see absolutely no reason why I shouldn't say what I did and why I did it. At least I am honest and if my actions are frowned upon, I'll live :-D

Just my opinion Sue, and if you had a valid reason then that is different I hadn't read your post so wasn't actually commenting on it.
Just like you I'll live if you don't agree with me. :-D

Lolol JG there was a very valid reason, I may be weird but I'm not a lunatic :-D

BEWARE OF ANYONE

HOW DO YOU KNOW WHEN ITS A MAN OR WOMAN

Very true Dizzi if you haven't met them.

PERSONALY
I THINK WOMEN ARE WORSE THAN MEN ON THE
INTERNET
