Why is everyone so concerned with people knowing who they actually are?

Oh, hey.
Like, I don't necessarily understand the issue. A lot of you (at least Icy) knows my full name and all that. It's not like any if you are going to steal anyone's identity, and if your embarrassed of yourself well that's sort of your own issue.

It's the internet though, nothing necessarily matters. If someone wants to be a dick they can, but they don't really get anything from it. Plus you have the option to just leave and be done with it, or make a new account.

You could all go and look and fine me right now, and post pictures or my full name, and I wouldn't give a damn. So why are you all scared of that

I neither fear, nor despise.
People know my name because of my music. AND my appearance.
I don't care, because I haven't done anything that could bite me later.

All the picture thread can really do is open yourself up to being made fun of because of appearance.
Unless you take a picture of your address or your credit card number, I think your fine.

You'd be surprised by the amount of info a picture can give away.

I'm comfortable sharing a certain amount of personal information online. My full name, home address, place of work, etc, isn't part of that given how some users have used what I *do* share to try to track me down.

You sometimes get assholes who love to make trouble spill over into the real world, people don't want that to happen.

Unfortunately I've had my facebook posted here a few times by a certain someone, which pissed me off a fair bit to start with. Just because it opens up a vulnerability to the real world <.< It's not that I'm concerned over the things I post online, I just don't particularly want my whole family being dragged into internet drama.

The irony being, that I actually have a fair few people from here and B.net added to it <.<
I just don't want any old wastrel stalking me .-.

But after Comms spammed my profile here the first time, I just deleted pretty much all of the information about me that was on there. Which wasn't really a lot in the first place, and I make a point of never having my photo taken/showing my face online just because I don't like it >.> It's why I bought a horse mask, so when people want to skype call me they can talk to Mr Psych - The lunatic.

>.>

tl;dr I just don't want some random wanker screwing with my real life over stuff that's been occurring online.

The angel agreed to trade a set of white wings for the head of another demon. Overjoyed, the demon killed one of his own and plucked the head right off its still-warm body.

The angel then led the demon to heaven, where he underwent centuries of the cruelest tortures imaginable. Finally, the pain was so great that he lost consciousness - at which point his dark wings turned the promised shade of white.
Im not open.
Simple as that.

Because some people just don't know when to quit. I've seen it happen firsthand. People getting butthurt and mad at others to the point that they will go out of their way find out as much about them as they can, before harassing them not just on a website, but also on facebook or even in real life. Find out who someone is, and you can get access to their address, phone number, facebook account, friends and family, place of work/education...

The vast majority of people are sensible enough to keep the internet and real life separate. But I've met my fair share of deluded and frantic assholes who would go as far as sending death and rape threats to family members, filing complaints at the person's work and harassing them in real life all over something that happened on the internet.

I've gotten more then a fair share of abuse and threats because of my cars as is. I've experienced it all at this point. But I'm not really afraid, I don't mean to sound tough. It's not like I am hiding anything. You won't find anything bad of or on me. Nothing like that is on the internet

I don't k ow, I just despise having a picture taken. In my house, there are not any pictures of me, and I remove any I'm tagged in on Facebook.

Neither was an acquaintance of mine. But all it took was him getting in a petty argument with someone on the internet. Someone who then gathered a bunch of friends and went on to track him down, threaten his mother with rape, contacted his place of work with false complaints trying to get him fired, filed complaints at his college about him misbehaving, had dozens of things delivered at his address, anonymously called and texted him and his family constantly...

You may not be worried about that kind of stuff, but after witnessing all that, I've become pretty reluctant sharing personal information online.

Damn.

I got threatening calls, texts, and some other stuff. But the police dealt with that shit so fast lol.

I know people could absolutely wreck my shit, and I know there are people on this very forum that are probably capable of doing so. But a lot of my stuff is only verbal and personal matters. Hardly anything is digital for me. My Facebook is basically outdated and worthless so there's nothing to find. Plus, I haven't done anything to anyone to warrant any of it.

I don't want to sound like I'm above it. But if someone really wants to find you and all that, they can do it without even an inkling of info. Technology is scary lads

Oh, hey.
A few people here know my full name and I've posted in picture threads a lot. I don't think I've told anyone here where what town I live in but pretty much everyone knows I live in the great state of Oklahoma and my name is Austin.

I like your avatar btw

And yea, I've shared info like that on here.
