I just hate the idea that they may already be reading my stuff, and humiliating my family by trying to convince people it is proof I am an enemy of God and going to hell. I always felt sorry for family members having to go through services where their brothers, husbands etc. were being used as examples to keep people in bondage.

IP #'s show up next to your screen name and are associated with your user account. Only Admins and Mods can see them...

To get the IP info you would need to either have admin privileges or the forum in question would have to have someone provide it to you somehow. It could be that they have a "mole" who supplies the info. I seriously doubt such a "mole" exists here, however.

Some forums automatically show the IP of each poster for all the world to see - this is rarer today. I haven't seen an "OP" forum ever do that, though.

Usually, just some sort of personal reference will cause people to at least "think" they know who a poster is. There are a lot of games played by bluffing. I always call every bluff in such circumstances. I have nothing to "hide" and I think most people are afraid of my family that is still "hard line."

I would agree with this and I trust our Admin team to be completely mole-proof!

Honestly if there were "spies" trying to post things I wrote and I knew about it, I would make sure my posts were extra juicy and REALLY give them something to talk about. I really love to feed busy bodies.

I don't even need to make anything up for that! All I gotta do is tell the truth!
