I sincerely hope that is not the actual address, and if it is I suggest taking it off.

It is, but what's the danger?

[TD1]

The huge amount of personal information you have posted, as well as your face beside every post? Your name, your address, and what you look like on the internet in the same place, a public forum no less. Anyone could find you, for whatever reason.

Example: I'm going to England through Scotland over the summer. Were you to post something I didn't like, I could make a deviation from my course and key your car. I could post you hate mail, I could leave things outside your door, I could even confront you in person with a tire iron. Yes, the risk of someone doing it is very small (no risk from me, I assure you) but it's still a possibility, and I prefer not to tempt fate.

someone might come over and give you a wedgie

They are welcome to, I don't post stuff I am not prepared to personally answer for.

I edited my above post with this.

The point is, it has risks that you shouldn't take. Small risks, comparatively speaking, but they're there.

I don't think that what you said, Dwarfy, is any more likely to happen than me being gunned down by Islamic terrorists in a local coffee shop. If I were to start taking precautions against such borderline impossible events, I might as well put on a tinfoil hat to ward off alien mind control beams.

I believe that posting personal information on the internet is something most people do not take lightly, and egging them on to do so is not very polite.

Your second name is Rudakov? Why do you settle for nicknaming yourself Gerry when you could be calling yourself Rudie?

Because that's not my first name.

It's not as improbable as all that. I prefer not to take unnecessary risks, myself, though I can understand where you're coming from. Still, I don't think I could make myself put down that much information in one place

Heh, this is like an hour away from me.

Yeah. Thought you were Russian, though. Don't you subsist primarily on vodka?

[Knit tie]

I am Russian, I am just studying in Edinburgh at the moment.

More like friends. Gender didn't come into it.

Every dude will probably like you because you're both female, so you got that going for you,.

xD
Oh you guys
I get the whole thing about stating such ideas and all, but let's treat these things without...any deeper connotations that may be malevolent in nature O__O
Sometimes people are silly--and being silly doesn't translate in words, despite being in your 'tone' when you typed it ._.

...Though some people also need to work on their wording more

I think Tiruin has stated it rather clearly in the past that she will not post any of her pictures here.

Not exactly

I apologize if that was rude. Please don't post pictures unless you're comfortable with it.

I figured you thought this was implied
...Though it didn't seem so without it back there O__O

However, she has also stated she wishes to become more confident. A photo would further this aim rather well.

* Tiruin sifts through folders to upload that darn pic because, yeah, y'all have a point, and aren't implied to be creepy about it (like, really.) :v

But yeah, we all get the thing that what Worldmaster said in Orange. And thanks for looking out for those ideas, too!

* Tiruin is just shy. Really.
