Why do you hide
« on: July 01, 2006, 09:32:02 am »
Hi Guy's/Gals

Now this question isn't picking on anyone,

But I was just wondering why you dont fill in your profile's fully, OK I can understand you mabe not wanting to fill in your email address, but for the area you live in,

I can't understand, I often pop into the profile section, to see were a certain member live's, But dissapointed when I see the profile not filled in with these details.

even if its just the area you live in, this would be nice to see
anyone else with any thoughts on it would be nice to hear from you.

It would certainly make it easier to help someone regarding pricing or knowing if they lived in a hard or soft water area.

This is very true.

I'm not asking anyone to give there name address and telephone number, but just an area.

as the shiner say's it would be a help, if you ask for help.

one of the most things I see on here is a member asking another member were do you live, and then that member comes back and say's I live in so and so.  ??? ???

if your area was filled in we wouldn't have to ask were do you live.

I did this question a month or two back and had a lot of response about the lack of info in the where do you live bit. All of it was positive to get people to fill this in but of course nothing came of it.

Funnily enough some who wanted it filled in hadnt fill their own in!!!!   ;D    ;D    ;D

There you go.  Embarassement perhaps??

KIDDING Brett.

Personally, I dont fill out profile fully because I'm a girl & have seen what can happen when someone is stalked.    I am very guarded.   Most people think I am from Newport, Gwent, South Wales.   I let them think that too.   My surname, email address, etc....remains personal.

Dont know your excuse guys!!

Busy if I was going to stork you, how the hell would I pick you out of Millions of other Busybee's ;D ;D

The only thing I think you look like is your avitor,

Sure thing but a pseudonym and a county isn't much to ask.  I'm in West Sussex.  I realise there are ways of narrowing it down if someone starts piecing a jigsaw together by cross-referencing your other posts but without a name there's not a lot it can tell them.

I think it should be mandatory that people at least put in the county they are from.

Or maybe some people are worried about the competition.

I know that over a period of time, some people give tiny amounts of detail out that can be collected and used to find others.   I know someone who had a very bad experience with a stalker, who over a period of months, collated info together and started harassment.  Phone calls, death threats, deliveries made to her house, etc.   She was terrified.  At 1 point, she called me in work to say a man was sat outside her house in a car in the turning bay,  watching.    I raced up there with my OH, blocked him in with my car & approached rather rapidly & angry.  OH was mightily angry & had to restrain himself.  This guy, along with another which was sat in the back, said they were Policemen watching a house further up.  I refused to believe them until I phoned my local police station, explained the situation & had their confirmation.  They could have been lying.   I trust no-one.     
For eg, am I really a girl?  Am I your sister-in-law checking you out for your wife?  Am I your local competition keeping tabs on you.  I could be the local peodophile who has taken an interest in someones kids and is getting info through forums & chatrooms about the parents whereabouts, etc.     Am I the Inland Revenue?   Am I VAT Customs & Excise watching you cos you might be selling fags & baccy on your rounds?   WHO KNOWS!
TRUST NO ONE is how I have ramained safe & anonymous for 10 yrs online.   
I actually know more about some people on here, that I care to know.  I do not root around for info, it is stuff they have posted themselves.  If I know stuff, then what could a real stalker obtain?

Jeff - am I really from South Wales?  This is what I have told people.  It could be a lie.  It could not be.    I have travelled extensively when "repping".

sorry, but I dont believe because one lady is aprehensive about give a name of a town or county is any reason for members not filling in there whereabouts - crikey it could be as broad as a county, at least there would be a handle to the posters area which would be so helpfull.

I do however agree that some give far more information than is sensible for their own good.

sorry daff' but I dont wear it   :)

Blimey,

After seeing  your photo I'm thinking 'have I posted anything that Rich could even mildly be offended by?'.

I've served with G Squadron SAS (not as a member mind), but you are a scary looking individual.  How do your two customers treat you?

With respect obviously! ;)
