Should I be concerned with people reading what I write here? (snow, England)

[Einhander]

I have given my situation and stories. But it would be so awkward if my cousin actually read what I’ve been writing about her. I never used real names, that would be so risky. One of my friends got in trouble at the club a long time ago for writing about a girl. But he used names. Still. It’s a small world.

Well, I don't know but personally, I did recognize someone here, that I know IRL. She gave away tons of personal info. Tons of it. But I knew it was her when I read the header. And then kept reading and the very detailed personal discussion confirmed it. She's actually all over the internet with the same problems that nobody can ever help her with. Because she's posting about the same things a year later.

I had something I wrote on the internet bite me in the butt years ago when wrote something I never intended a friend to see. I was anonymous then, on a different... but it's a small world and nothing is ever really *gone* from the internet.



It can be a painful lesson.

"Should I be concerned with people reading what I write here?"

If you don't want people to read what you write/post her, then whom do you want it read???

Solution:

Don't write here.

There are writers that read these and other forums for ideas. Some times professional writers start threads with a question so they can get ideas. In another forum I wrote a paragraph that ended up in an article word for word. So whatever you write here it's there for all to read.

All kinds of possibilities exist. F******k has grabbed a lot of activity that was reserved for forums. Do what you feel comfortable doing, don't mention names. Probably safer to write stuff down here than say stuff verbally where it is subject to repeat and gross misinterpretation. At least writing leaves a record.

Snowden let a lot of people know that we have no privacy whatsoever. The inquisitive already knew that. Things are much worse, in some ways, in England and a few other places.

I don't really care if people that I know read most of what I type. Thats just me though.

Tell us what you carry. This is the place to talk survival guns.


Is your surname Lignose or Bergman?

There is something really weird about your obsession with your cousin.

I have OCD. It's just that right now I want to get her back. But I would never want her to read what I wrote, it could freak her out. I never used any names. But do you think it's possible she would ever come here and find it?
