So after just becoming slightly concerned over a poster's potentially slightly over-revealing (oo-er missus) location meanderings has me wondering what lengths people go to to prevent doxx etc
I am aware that some posters know areas that I have been affiliated with (but perhaps not where I reside now, or do I?
and that a couple definitely do know my approximate area (shhhh now motherfuckers, heh) but that doesn't seem to concern me. Probably due to me never having over personal amounts of anything and not being active on 'the scene' anymore - but I still wanna remain private to the point that I won't post pictures of my stunning (people would love to see them) pets etc....because I think that someone I know irl reads BL sometimes and I mos def do not want them to associate this profile with me (some other people - I wouldn't give a shit though). All in all though it's definitely better for me to remain anon for various reasons. I've been 'morally honest' on this site but have also strewn the odd red-herring around too, haha
I know that I could easily find an old prolific poster's home (From UK but hasn't posted in a while) just from the info he gave out regarding places very near to his abode, for instance. I don;t think he gave a fuck though
Also, just a couple of weeks ago, I easily recognised a prolific and well-known BL-ers syntax/turn of phrase on a completely unrelated part of the internet, totally by chance. It's already common knowledge where this poster resides and 60 seconds after seeing the above I had their first name too, and again, could find them easily If I so wished (I don't, and all details are safe as anything with me)
Both posters referred to above have also shared selfies on BL so I presume they would not give a shiny shit that I could find them easily - and they are both definitely only personal-users...but if I can find 'em, others can too! (I'm far from a super-sleuth...or am I?
Any thoughts on privacy? What lengths do you go to to maintain it?
Also if either poster has an inkling it's them I could find, feel free to ask (PM) and I'll tell you the truth (If it is you that is - I wont be telling anyone else your id)
