If you think that you’ve given away some personal details and might be recognized by some, how do you ask an acceptable question of a personal/private nature that you want CR opinions on?
I guess you can use a different Username but might hesitate for fear of Moderators playing detective with the IP address and publicizing their findings of a second Username.
Shouldnt there be an option for posting Anonymous questions, at times, without discomfort?
I absolutely agree with you, I wish the mods would let people have as many screen names as they want, Why do people care if people use diff names for diff reasons? I know this is a sore point by many here, but i find myself not posting anything perssonal because there are a few people who might know who I am. I would love to be able to post anonymously when I want to.
Who says they don’t let? In the instances I know about in which the mods objected, the poster was using multiple screen names to agree with himself or be a troll to be able to argue with the “other poster’s” point.
Mods, is it OK with you to open a second screen name for personal type posts?
As much as I like to convince myself otherwise, no one gives a hoot as to who I really am.
daas: you are correct.
and yes
i feel the same way too!
Thanks, 80.
I don’t like when people tell me they know me but don’t hint who they are.
eclipse:
Of course not. They feel eclipsed by you! When the sun shines, everyone hides their faces!
I don’t understand the purpose of having a second screen name. If you feel you gave out too much info why not just change your screen name and start over?
Z…I’m serious.Like jofes.
haha people know who i am already
but then again by me posting this i am just further revealing my self…..
*wryly* apparently a lot more people know who I am then I thought/expected. I just wish they would personally, be it in here or in person, let me know that they are the ones who know me. If in here all I want at most is a shout out they hey I know who you are and that will be it. If in person, just let me know that you are here and no need to give a screen name. I mentioned in another thread that someone let me know that there were a few people that knew me and that is really what got my curiosity going. I don’t want to know who you are just that you are. There are already around three members here who have done one or the other.
Sorry for the rant. I am tired and preoccupied. Even though it may not have been the brightest idea to essentially in a way ask for people to speak up, I still would like to know how many people I do know here even if I don’t know who they are (be it their screen name or real name)
😀 Zuberman! 😀
two people already told me they laugh at my posts…im sure more people know my identity and are laughing behind my back as well lol ;))
I tried to post confidentially in a different name cuz my kids post here but the mods gave it away a few times. They must have thought my two names and my kids names were all one person or something. They were really great about deleting their comments but I can’t afford the risk. I would love to be able to comment anonymously about relationships or personal issues when they come up in the threads but I don’t know how to assure the anonymity.
Two of my close friends and my sis. know who I am. I really hope nobody else does because I really said things I’d be embarressed to say to anyone else. If anyone knows me-TELL ME! Really, just because someone doesn’t have a username, they can be watching and figuring people out all the time. Just a little scary…
how can I have a second name without a second email address?
of course – Don’t remember the details but they were making jokes about me having a lot of names and then they listed them (must’ve been on one of those ‘joseph’ threads)Did it again another time but I hogged the computer til they took off the post (again it was in jest) Too nervous to risk posting private. And it’s too bad because on very (very) rare occasion I have something worth contributing.
It was. And that was exactly what I did. Two kids have usernames, I have one, and then I opened a new one for a private comment. I sent them a slew of emails BEGGING them to take down their post. I think they thought they were busting me and that I was joking about being three people. I was very uncomfortable. I thought it was funny that they were so straight forward with my names and were so vague about others who were doing it. But I am sure they did not mean anything and didn’t realize the harm they did.
And I’m being a little vague so as not to stir up any memories. Other than my kids and a friend of theirs I don’t think I know anyone here.
I once opened a new username to post something personal. Didnt have any problems. I only used that screename once. Dont even remember the password anymore.
I know Feif Un.
Honestly, this is not the forum I would ask a personal question.
Anyone who wants to figure out who I am can – I have given out enough information if you care to go searching.
Personally, I’m happy that I can’t post anonymously- I’m careful not to divulge any personal details, and I want it that way.
If I have anything personal to discuss, I wouldn’t do it here, so it suits me just fine.
I don’t really mean personal, as much as anonymous. For instance, I wouldn’t want to comment on how I resolved an issue with my kid or how a school battered me or a kid of mine when I know my kids are reading this and know who I am talking about. I also work with people who are abused or sick and would offer advice in regard to those issues but not if my family can identify the people. Sometimes ‘personal’ is generic if you are anonymous – like tips on how to resolve a fight with a parent or how to recover from a spiritual fall. You can have good chizuk for others and if they don’t know you it’s not necessarily ‘personal’.
seriously all u gota do is not tell ppl you have a yeshiva world acount. its that simple…. and if they can figure out who you are by family situations etc that ur posting about, then clearly they know you very well anyways so who cares.
