If your truly want anonymity, don't say what state you live or lived in, don't give information about your background or other people you know, things you have done, anything. Someone will recognize you, because anyone can be on the internet as a guest, and the UPC is not that large an organization.
be careful prag you are making to much sense, lol, dt

I can understand people's desire to post anonymously, and I have no problem with that. I do, not because I'm afraid something I'll say will bite me, but because I just feel a person should be careful on the internet.

I do NOT understand, and never will understand, people's need to send threatening PM's. I just received another one, and let me tell you that the next one I receive, I will make public. When I left my former church for another one, it was because of the abusive behavior of the pastor. When I left, he made some horrible accusations. I can tell you after 2 years of sheer hell, I will NEVER tolerate that again in my life. Never.

So Mal, speaking of some posters not being able to let it go - LET IT GO. And if you want to make that phone call, go right ahead. Truth is, if you had simply been civil to me in the first place, I would have told you what my name is myself! I don't have a problem with you being concerned. I DO have a problem with the way in which you handled it. It is not acceptable.

There are posters I have figured out on this forum based on worthless info they posted. One of them....well, I knew they were in my state while those who don't live here remained clueless.

If someone wants to maintain anonymity, don't be on the internet at all. I've even found out alternate ID's of posters because I was on at the right time and saw a post made, deleted, then reposted under another name.

Of course, none of that is a big deal to me, and I keep confidences, especially if paid well......LOL!

The point remains.......if you truly want anonymity, don't even be on the internet.

For the life of me, what I canNOT understand is how this happens here?!

How many have said this is "just entertainment" and yet we can see here it is not.

I said it last night and will reiterate...why would Saints want to 'out' or humiliate or purposely offend or embarrass or try to one-up another Saint?! Is having the last word THAT important?!

Why can we not behave as is becoming Christians?!

I disagree, HO...why does one have to keep clear of the internet to maintain a certain amount anonymity?!

I know who some are on here and would never dream of 'outing' them...
