I dont think I'd 'out' myself. I like staying anonymous and being free to vent or say anything I want. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-if-you-found-out-your-sister-or-close-friends-posted-on-hb#post-291050 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 13:46:48 +0000 birdofafeather 291050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i haven't invited anyone to this site for a reason (but i've told them about it!) but not because i'm talking about them, but because i'm talking about myself so personally! if they looked at the bump love thread or january thread, they would know it's me, but i would rather not out myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-if-you-found-out-your-sister-or-close-friends-posted-on-hb#post-290942 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 12:37:37 +0000 ladyfingers 290942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If somebody really tried hard, they could figure out who I am. So I follow @Mrs. Jacks' advice. I invited one friend to this site, so I'm clearly not overly concerned about outing myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-if-you-found-out-your-sister-or-close-friends-posted-on-hb#post-290599 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 08:54:54 +0000 Mrsbells 290599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is why I refrain from posting pics of myself and try to limit how much information I post about myself that identifies me. Its hard because sometimes I really want to share more photos and more info about me, but I dont want anyone in my real life to know everthing I post on here and wedding bee because some of it is personal </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-if-you-found-out-your-sister-or-close-friends-posted-on-hb#post-290525 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 08:02:10 +0000 GrapeCrush 290525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is why i dont post more...im afraid if i 'vent' about the wring person itll bite me in the butt later.<br /> a friend asked me if i was on any forums or boards.i said no because i figured she'd try and find me lol and you can guess my name easily from my name... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-if-you-found-out-your-sister-or-close-friends-posted-on-hb#post-290509 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 07:50:17 +0000 cheert16 290509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: My exact setiments!</p> <p>I have invited a few friends to join and have actually seen a couple girls I went to college with on here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-if-you-found-out-your-sister-or-close-friends-posted-on-hb#post-290220 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 20:26:38 +0000 pastemoo 290220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: My dad says this, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-if-you-found-out-your-sister-or-close-friends-posted-on-hb#post-290218 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 20:25:19 +0000 pastemoo 290218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have 4 sort-of friends and 2 friends with babies my LO's age and would LOVE if they posted on here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-if-you-found-out-your-sister-or-close-friends-posted-on-hb#post-290193 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 20:10:08 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 290193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: :) It's a maxim that I've learned the hard way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-if-you-found-out-your-sister-or-close-friends-posted-on-hb#post-290192 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 20:09:26 +0000 BSB 290192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Great advice! Sometimes I do have remember that this is a public forum. </p> <p>I guess it's hard because I try to participate in as many threads as possible and some of which ask personal questions. I do it to contribute to the community. :) Also, I am a little more talkative online than I am in real life. I do have a filter but sometimes I need to vent. </p> <p>Anyway, I think I need to remember your advice. Thanks, MrsJacks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-if-you-found-out-your-sister-or-close-friends-posted-on-hb#post-290184 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 20:06:29 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 290184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: I agree with you as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-if-you-found-out-your-sister-or-close-friends-posted-on-hb#post-290179 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 20:01:34 +0000 mamabird 290179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: I agree completely. I dont hide behind the internet and talk about people unless I've said something to their face.</p> <p>I don't share too much about myself for safety reasons, not so that I can hide from anyone. It's sad that people use the internet to be petty and/or bullies. I'm not saying the occasional vent is out of the question, but my overall rule for life is to go directly to the source if I have a problem. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-if-you-found-out-your-sister-or-close-friends-posted-on-hb#post-290174 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 19:58:56 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 290174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: I've had a couple friends find me, so it's always nice to know that I've got peace of mind when it happens :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-if-you-found-out-your-sister-or-close-friends-posted-on-hb#post-290172 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 19:57:30 +0000 DillonLion 290172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Same. I post with the idea that someone I know IS reading, even if they aren't. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-if-you-found-out-your-sister-or-close-friends-posted-on-hb#post-290168 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 19:56:22 +0000 wheres_c 290168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to read a lot of the waiting posts on wedding bee.<br /> I read about a friends disappointment of a birthday proposal on there, and the much anticipated low key proposal that followed. Because of the details posted about the birthday, it was easy for me to identify the poster as my friend.</p> <p>I felt it was wrong for me to keep the knowledge and not at least tell her I knew. I called and wished her congrats (before she'd even told her fam, and outed myself). I think she was a little embarrassed but I I think it was better in the long run for it to be put out there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-if-you-found-out-your-sister-or-close-friends-posted-on-hb#post-290167 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 19:56:12 +0000 prettylizy 290167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: this. As a kid my dad told me never write anything online that you wouldn't want to see in the newspaper the next day (this included emails and IM's too). He was soooooo right. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-if-you-found-out-your-sister-or-close-friends-posted-on-hb#post-290163 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 19:53:08 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 290163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I make sure that I would never say anything on any public forum that I wouldn't say to someone's face. I use that as my test any time I mention something about someone I know. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-if-you-found-out-your-sister-or-close-friends-posted-on-hb#post-290158 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 19:48:33 +0000 Honeybee 290158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would start a new account and probably not post as much. I would like to remain at least semi anonymous on here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-if-you-found-out-your-sister-or-close-friends-posted-on-hb#post-290152 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 19:44:35 +0000 BSB 290152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Reading the 'if you could end interactions with one person' thread made me realize that my friends or sisters could post on here. I don't think any of them are on here. Just a little hesitant. </p> <p>If it was someone that I've talked about on HB (in a negative or possibly could be construed as negative), I, honestly, wouldn't 'out' myself. I would probably slowly stop posting or make up a new name. </p> <p>If it was someone that I've never talked about on HB, than I might 'out' myself. I don't know. It's kinda creepy thinking about it. </p> <p>What about you? </p>
