I must admit I think out loud on here rather than with my friends. I do know ppl IRL who know I come on here and others who know I come here (hi Carmel) and I don't know if they have come in for a looky. I guess if i wanted to rant about something I didn't want ppl I knew to know I have another place i can go and be anon. But for the most of it say it here - god I am such an open book  You can see by me having my name as my sign on and all my kids names that it wouldn't take someone i knew 2 seconds to know it was me anyway.
I could see though how anonying it would be if someone you knew was following you around the messages to be noisy rather than generally interested. What would bother me is if someone was reading all my replies etc... and not join in but just reading in case they miss something. But I am pretty sure I don't have a stalker and if I do - so! what can I do??
Just remember this is a 'public' forum so something you don't want getting out I would say don't put it in here.

Do you introduce yourself to OB people you meet IRL? My IRL friends live in different parts of the country to me, but I do see OB people here (Palmy isn't v-big aftera ll) IRL - mostly I recognise the kids, I'm too shy to go up and introduce myself incase they think i'm weirdo/stalker, instead they probably think she's being a snobby cow and not saying hello.

LOL GandT. Fleury why don't you just say HI.. in saying that I sometimes keep quiet too incase they think I am a stalker or something.. I use to see people I went to school with and not say Hi incase they didn't know who I was, but most of them did and so I would of looked like a snob instead (I get the guts with some dutch courage you see LOL)

I do, but then I am far from shy. Hey if you new to Palmy and recognise any of the lovely plamy ladies you can't go wrong they are all very lovely ladies. ( I know some of the IRL Hi ladies). Great people to get to know so next time just say hi you never know.

I guess the only problem will online is that people are more likely to misunderstand what you say. They only see a small snippet of who you are / what you think and can make rash judgements. When chatting online it's important to remember that you don't know the whole picture. Same applies when you meet someone...you can't judge them based on one or two meetings.
