On the subject of lurking...

Do you feel like you can 'trust' everyone on here? Like as in, you know they are a friend beyond the boards and you feel comfortable telling them personal stuff or do you keep it basic and general? Do you feel like you were ever hoodwinked into trusting someone on here and then they stabbed you in the back?

I don't post very personal info on a public message board. I just think it will come back to bite me in the butt.

Generally, I find it tough to completely trust someone I have never met in person. JMO

Before I post anything, I ask myself if I care about a random friend or relative seeing what I wrote. If yes, then I don't post it. If no, then I do. I do wonder and worry a little. I did have a bad experience on another site with people getting my address and phone # and private e-mail addresses. It was annoying.

I only trust a few people on here, and if I have something pretty personal to share, i'll talk to them about it via AIM or FM. I only post stuff that I don't mind anyone seeing.

I haven't had any issues with anyone on here in terms of trust though.

I can only say that I trust only a few here and i would love to have an actual friendship outside the boards if only I lived closer.

It happened to me, so I'll share. I used to hang quite reguarly with a poster and then things sort of dissolved. I find out alot of not so nice things and now we don't even speak.

I can't say that I trust anybody on here - honestly - I don't know anyone 'personally'.

I would love to become friends w/ young families w/ children. But then again after my fall out this morning I don't know. I'm excited about the Family site that's in the works.

you can sometimes see the backstabbing, but you can also see and get great comrodoray on here which is nice. Personally I would like to meet a few moms on here who have kids (even girls who dont), and hang out but its a nice place to vent and thats what I like especially since I know my family or hubby wont come on here so its mostly private for me.
