General Chat

Just a reminder, there are some odd folk out there, be careful how much information you give about yourself .

Keep safe

Sirius that just goes to show, that like the title of the post says...

YOUR safety on the internet.. have your wits about you.

You hit the nail on the head there!

Yep, male and female, either and both can turn out to be far from what you believed them to be.

Very true Sirius - male and female.

None of us know really.... I could say I am Mary ann Maplethorpe living in Skegnees on the wold and could just as easily be Fred bloggsmith looking for a woman with a child to chat up.

as one of my friend s said when a photo of a bloke who had just been arrested for child pornography offences...."if I'd seen that photo on a dating site I would think he looked a nice kind guy".

Why on earth was that reported?
Somebody must have an itchy finger today.

and sometimes it's patently obvious that it IS the case

I hope the sheep reference has nothing to do with me lol
Of course not.
lol

I'll just repeat a previous post......

See what I mean, be very careful on websites there are people who will source you out, put comments about where you live, put your name in threads, cryptic of course, now if you were a person who worried about your safety, that would be quite frightening I'd imagine. Luckily when it happened to me GR were aware, although I wasn't frightened, I was concerned for others.

I never correspond with the person who did this, but they still like to follow me about, bit like a lost sheep really, maybe they are looking for a shepherd, who knows.

Of course, one also has to be mindful of online paranoia.
There is a very fine line and balance and (I hasten to add, on other sites and not this) I have seen those who are convinced that people are "out to get them" when it is patently obvious that that is not the case and, sometimes, even quite the opposite.

excellent idea :-D

Thought it would be a good idea to nudge this thread today.

Lynda :-D ;-) <3 <3
