You Can't Be Too Careful
So..I've been taking study breaks and reading Why Women Hate Men and Pschotic Letters from Men and..it's completely freaking me out.
It's freaking me out because on another online forum, there are people who admit to actually going online and "checking out" other posters they've had arguments with.
So, you're going out of your way to find out more about someone you don't like in order to..what? Can someone explain this to me? If you don't like someone online, why - for the love of gawd - would you want to find out more about them?
Folks, the only reason I can think of to do something like that is because you a)want to dig up dirt on them because you're just that petty, b)you have an unhealthy obsession with anyone who crosses you and you just Can't Let It Go, or c) you secretly want to continue arguing because you're a masochist
See, in my world, when I don't get along with someone, I want to avoid them. If I actually go looking for stuff about them, well then, I must have an interest in them.
The reason this is of some concern to me is the poster who said it has had arguments with me as well. They made it clear they don't like me. So I avoid them. Based on what they just stated though, I have the uneasy feeling they don't avoid me. And that's a problem. I've always been careful online, very careful. It WILL be a cold day in hell before I owould announce my real identity with my online one on any forum.
It just goes to show, you can't be too careful. And I don't need some unfriendly someone with a chip on their shoulder going through my blog looking for stuff to identify me with. Yikes!
P.S. I'm going back through old entries to make sure nothing too public is revealed now. I'll be friending or editing all the posts mentioning real life places or people. I don't do that very often, but there have been some hints here and there
