First of all, please ignore Hanns, I know he's going to post here and it's going to be his usual get-a-rise-out-of-you bullshit. Just ignore it in favor of the information.
I've noticed that some of us here put up our pictures and use our first names on the public boards. Some of us put up some very racy pictures. I'm not going to tell you not to do it, but I am going to tell you to think about it before you do, do it.
There are some serious sickos out there, not morons like Hanns pretending to be dangerous, but real people who prey on others. They like the Internet because it's a convenient way to shop for victims. We are connected to a porn site, no matter how un-porn the board is. Sickos will assume that because a woman is on a porn site she's immoral, wicked, and inferior. I'm not talking about the normal guy who knows better, I'm talking about the psychopath who hurts others for kicks.
Be careful when you put up personal information. Lit is full of wonderful people and we feel pretty safe here, overall. It's full of approval and friendship. But there are people out there who don't participate, they just lurk. They look for victims. They're also readnig your personal information and they're looking at your racy pictures and they're making conclusions that are very sick and very dangerous.
The odds of you being victimized by a sicko because of what you've done here are very slim, but they aren't beyond the realm of possibility.
You don't leave your doors unlocked. You don't go to strange nightclubs and let people give you drinks that were out of your sight. You don't post personal information on the 'Net. Not because of the billions of good people on the planet, but because of the handful of sickos out there looking for a good time.
Don't be afraid, but think about who might be looking at your words and pictures before you post them. What's sexy to most of us is an open invitation to sickos.
Be safe.
Some of us know personal information about others. The biggest is the first name. If you know someone's first name, don't use it on the board! We all chose anonymous nicknames for a very good reason. Respect and protect your friends. Use the nickname, not the first name!
