Quote From: 101160WE KNOW YOU ARE JUST TRYING TO HELP ,AT LEAST I KNOW YOU ARE TRYING TO HELP.YOU HAVE YOUR OPPINION JUST AS MUCH AS ANYONE ELSE ON THESE BOARDS.I JUST HOPE YOU DON'T THINK I WAS MAD WHEN I BROUGHT UP THE PART THAT I DON'T GIVE OUT MY E-MAIL .HOPE YOU ARE SAFE AND I KNOW YOU TOLD ME YOU HAD A BAD EXPERIENCE AND PEOPLE SHOULD RESPECT THAT.I TOTALLY AGREE ON THE PRIVATE INFO .AND I ALSO SAID THE PROFILE SHOULD BE VERY LIMITED.ANY E-MAILS SHOULD BE BAND FROM THE BOARDS OR PROFILES.LIKE I SAID WE DON'T KNOW EACH OTHER AND THERE ARE YOUNG PEOPLE ON THE BOARDS THAT DON'T REALIZE WHAT HARM THEY COULD BE IN.STAY SAFE AND GOD BE WITH YOU AND ALL .TAKE CARE AND CHAT SOON .CATHY No I thought that you and I agreed and that other poster reacted and hadn't thought through before being defensive. I just had contradicting information and wanted to share to remind others of the inherent risk. It is okay to disagree and, as it turned out, poster agrees risky too. It would be nice if Dr. Phil had a board convention for posters to meet that used safety precautions to protect posters in doing so. Otherwise, to meet and exchange contact information is not wise and has had dire consequences for many including me, again, relatively speaking. I had had specific bad experience that was relative and wanted to share and did that it is too risky to meet people met online in person and exchange contact information. I'm glad two who met didn't have a bad experience but I had, relatively speaking, and was concerned might encourage others to do and not a good idea whatsoever. However, name used for other person met not posting name for this board. So, no, since you agree I didn't think you were mad. You looked like you just reacted and were enjoying using your red type and pictures. I'm certain most involved got a good laugh who know the details and, even if a bit at my expense, that pretty much is why I wouldn't advise giving out contact information or meeting people met online in person. To be combative and insensitive to someone who has had a bad experience is just that because, regardless, it IS not a good idea to exchange contact information and meet people met online in person. I spoke up because to see members and board runner exchanging contact information encouraged me to and I learned the hard way not a good idea and I didn't want anybody else's common sense to take a back seat and do the same. All is well so no need to worry. Your heart seems to be in the right place and so is mine. Have a GREAT weekend. I plan to. Hugs and Prayers, Beachsmiles
