How expose are you online?!

I was going to post a thread about the inter-racial relation here, but this morning, I just happened to see something on other websites, and it made me thought about posting this topic.

Would you post your private life online? And if you do? How expose would you be? The reason that I ask guys here is because I came across with a women posted her private life(her kids, her life with a rich husband, their sex life, her shopping spree...balabalabala...yeah~)if you have a partner like that, would you be ok with her posting things about your life online?

Babywaio needs attention now, be back later...

What, we don't deserve the link to her blog? I mean, how can we have an informed discussion unless we read about her sex life? Um, I mean, rich husband ...

As for the lady in question, she's in good company. There's a phenom here of people being absolutely exposed online, and hundreds of thousands of people seem to be doing it. I wouldn't write it all down for public consumption, personally, but I think it's a really interesting turn of events. We don't even know yet what the ramifications will be.

One of my favorite web sites, Ars Technica, is co-hosted by a guy who was turned down for a Ph.D. program because the admission committee read his blog. Interesting times.

wasabi, don't be coy, give us this link to where you post all of your personal info. inquiring minds would like to know! ~;)

LOL, I think it's interesting times as well. It's the first time so many people of all sorts have gotten online and are showing themselves. I still think it's safer then doing anything like you do online, on the streets, but still. If you want something to be kept private, try to supress the need to type it all out.

It's the details I don't include. Things like specific places, numbers, and all that. I'm okay with telling a story, however odd or personal. I do the same in person.

don't do it. especially on a gaming board. it's cause for regret.

Nothing much on my blog(which is at a website called BabyHome), only heaps of photos of Babywaio and daily silly things he does with me...

Her blog happens to be in Chinese...so~

Personally I'll never do that, but then that's just a personal desicion.

.
It requires a level of confidence...or should I say reliance? (Early morning brain doesn't produce accurate English.) No matter online or offline. There are always things that I keep to myself.

But an online community accessible by virtually anyone almost means the most crowded square of the largest city, or prime time on the most watched TV channel. So, I do restrict a lot. How many people on the ORG know my real name --the EB community, to which I submitted a light resumé, aside-- for instance? ~;)

Personal stories, likes/dislikes - yes - but nothing that would be really personal.

Photos: Only of myself from time to time - no photos of family members or friends

No details like address, e-mail address, employer.

The problem is : Who would care about my life ?

*Pretty interesting though.. Watching the forum literally.. Kinda weird.. Hmm..

I’ve already acknowledged Dariush as my actual name, and there are not too many of us out there. I may be a bit too paranoid, but I wouldn’t want the authorities to bother me or my family because of something I wrote on an internet forum. Not that I think they’d come after me, but they could when I’m in Iran. I know they have imprisoned some webloggers in the past, and others have been ‘suicided’.

Only a few chosen people know my name, I even withhold my age in a lot communities.

If I have an actual friend on the internet, with whom I chat regularly or so, then I do not have any problems with exposing information of myself.
But setting information on the internet, like a blog or something, never. Who would want to read it? What purpose does it have? Do I want strange people knowing my name, age, location?

Not my idea of fun, I try not to put anything personal on the internet, funny stories are ok but that's about it. Anyway, I'm quite a private person.

I don't post anything ridiculously dangerous like my address or bank details. Other than that, I'm quite comfortable sharing with people online.

I've tried using fake very normal names like Dan, Phil, Matt etc. but now I just think that everybody thinks I'm schizo because I switch them around.

I'll just stick to signing things Taffy, I guess, although Fred is tempting.

Anyway, I like to keep my anonymity if I can. I try to avoid mentioning specific people or places and so on.

I've posted a ton of crap about myself to you total strangers.

Why? Cause it doesn't hurt. What the hell do I care if you all know my job, a little personal history, political views, what I look like, where I work, the city I live in, etc.

The only thing I would worry about is some crazy sick loner coming to kill me after I inadvertently insulted him via a game discussion board. But I don't worry about that because I am always armed.


So come and get me Redleg! I know you have a grudge! Bring it on army!~D Just kidding. I actually like you quite a bit.


But in all seriousness, what the hell is everyone so hung up about? Unless you are some ugly loner freak, pedaphyle, or other psycho. In that case, I understand. And I know this forum is browsed by hundreds or thousands of lurkers. To you all I say: JOIN THE ORG!


If you are normal person, what is the big deal? It's like a big party and we are all invited.:balloon2: :balloon2: ~:cheers:

*lurks ~;)

I'm pretty open usually when talking about something in a thread. I close my toilet door not because I want a private moment but it's because my crap stinks. I keep it reasonable as to being 'exposed' for safety reason. I hate telemarketers.

I dunno, I kind of get the feeling that if I told a whole lot of details about my life, people would get bored. I have a feeling that if I were a chick and wanted to talk about my sex life then that would be different ~:cool:

DA

Ask what you like mia muca's , I am incapable of being anything but me. Me cursed with honesty ~;)

I don't think we should be encouraging Org members to expose themselves on line. Think of the children, oh the inhumanity of it all!~:eek:

Backroom Exposed - The Guild's Naked Webcam! ~:eek:

DA: because I'm paranoid.

And it's funny. I used to pose as a Catholic priest online.

~D

I sometimes give away more than I intended, but I'm usually pretty closed. Stories are okay, actual names, places, etc, usually aren't.

I'm a bit paranoid when it comes to pictures, but that's mostly because of how ******* ugly I am :knight:

A picture is worth a thousand words. (Yes, that is a popped collar.~;) The million dollar question now is: how many drinks did that take?~D)

I would probably post nearly everything I like people and besides a few stalkers never hurt anyone~:grouphug:
