I lurk here and on MAS. I have stopped contact but since i have not "blocked" i was not sure it would be ok to post here....

Well, i posted on MAS for the first time and i guess they dont like my opinions at all so i am feeling a little unwanted all ovee the place!

One of the posts i read had to do with the safety of posting such personal and private information about such a "secret" topic. I assumed this was totally anonymous but the more i read uo the less secure i am with this.

Is it safe to post here? Is there a way others can retrieve my personal info? Has anything like that happened to anyone here?

I'm not sure of why you are bringing this here - perhaps just as a reminder? you are right that every poster should be careful about details and use whatever precautions they need. I read through the thread about this on MAS - and I'm not sure why you would feel that they don't like your opinons? They are saying the same thing there that you will hear here.

Is the internet safe? No. This is why there are usernames and monikers instead of real names. It is why we mention to NOT give specifics. If you have set your privacy settings, then your personal information should be safe. Is this guaranteed? No. Every poster SHOULD take personal precautions.

Every poster is welcome to this board if they are ended. You mention that you are not blocked - does this mean that your A is still on-going? If it is, then we would ask that you wait until you are ended to join in.
