anonymous posters

Why do many of you not tell your name in your profile? Are you afraid of something? Some of you make some very bold statements from behind your mask of anonymity.

Moderators, if this post is not appropriate, feel free to delete it.

So your "name" bluebird,,,,,, is the same as on your drivers license! Don't quite get the drift of an anonymous poster questioning anonymous posts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My name is Mr. Presley, but you can call me Elvis.

I thought I had a pervert calling me on Scype when we first enabled it. I kept declining this person who's name I did not know until my husband called me on my cell and asked why I kept hanging up on him.

In the past few years, two of our RV'ing neighbors have had their houses robbed while on vacation, and a third neighbor's house was robbed while she was attending her husband's funeral. The crooks were caught eventually in all three cases, and the perpetrator of the RV owner robberies admitted that he found the location for the first house from a Facebook entry, and the second by observation while robbing the first. The funeral robbery came from simply reading the obits in the local paper.

Not to be critical but houses don't get robbed. Only people get robbed. Houses get burglarized.

My grade school English teacher would be proud of you... :R

Really? I don't recall learning that one in English.

So... what is it called when a full-timer has his coach stolen???

Sorry, couldn't resist. :B

Well if somebody put a gun in his face and stole it from him it's called a robbery. If somebody stole it while he wasn't in it then it's called auto theft.

I don't understand the whole anonymity thing, either, but I must say that's it's more than weird to have such a question posted by someone using the old "screen name" thing-?

My screen name is my real name, and so is my screen location. And I'm even still in the phone book!

So far, so good...

I like the "so far, so good" part. Everyone says that until it's not so good!

Well, it's been years now-?

As a matter of fact, I was feeling a little insulted about the fact that no Bad Guys thought me worthy of doing whatever it is that I'm supposed to be afraid of...but just recently I got my very first letter from Nigeria! I'm finally a member of the club :B

Truth is, I use my real name on all correspondence, even/especially in public forums like this one. Helps to keep me at least reasonably polite, for one thing....my Mother might be listening in, y'know?

Also, though- as we all know- there's no real anonymity anymore anyway. Using the real instead of an alias is a constant reminder not to reveal personal information such as trip schedules etc. It really surprises me how much people tell about their lives on boards like this, and I think that loose-lips-ness is partly due to their (mistaken) belief that nobody knows who/where they are.

In my universe, I TELL people who/where I am...and nothing else.

I've always said I could put together a real good personal scam on someone if I was a crook. Just research their posts, find out about their family, dogs, vehicles, likes and dislikes, beliefs, etc. Then work up a story where it sounds like you know them, or they should remember you, or you knew their departed parent, etc. All the info is here for the taking for people who post quite a bit on the internet.

I do believe if a person worked at it, they could come up with my name, address, phone number, etc. Not from RV.net, but by getting bits and pieces from here and there.

While it would be nice to know everyone's name, I don't think it's necessary for a forum.
