My hubby actually banned me from this site a couple of weeks ago because of some very strange PM's that I was getting. He does IT work and is a computer whiz so he knows how to do all this stuff. After having YT withdrawals and lots of begging, he let me back on, LOL. He watches everything very carefully though...
PEOPLE - this is the INTERNET and no matter HOW MUCH you think you really "KNOW" someone - you don't. MOST of us here aren't "friends" in REAL, every day life (some are, but most - no). It is all too easy to become comfortable with someone that you talk to daily on here, but who REALLY knows who is on the other side of the computer screen, and what they are up to or what their intentions are. It is WAY too easy for us to be overly trusting...and that can be dangerous, plain and simple. Not only here on YT, but on ANY online forums/message boards.
Just because someone is nice and you FEEL like you "KNOW" them, and can trust them, doesn't mean that you can. All I am saying is to BE CAREFUL. People can act one way online and be the TOTAL OPPOSITE in real life.
I say, keep your personal information as private as possible and don't go around sharing everything with everyone...be nice, courteous and respectful, but don't be too trusting - and I know that is hard because we do like to think of everyone here as our true friends....but the God's honest truth is, YOU NEVER KNOW. |
Thank you for the reality check
The drama with the puppy pic. is frustrating, and a shame. However, it is over, and it's time for everyone to move on.
We get that sense of faulse security on the internet which in turn can lead to serious mistakes.
