@shallow-blue saidYes, there are some sick people out there. There are people on RHP inexperienced in such matters. Another good reason to keep personal names off of public forums.
That happened more than once, in fact.
Also, internet stalkers are a thing, and several of them have killed.
@moonbus saidI believe what you say is true. On this site, RHP, I feel that if I'm not too controversial, or interested in other people's private identities and private affairs, then they would not be interested in mine.

@moonbus saidAs someone with very limited technical prowess I bow to those who have more. I have used my first name on here fairly often and thus far have not, to my knowledge been stalked. In the meantime I have PM’d the gentleman in question and apologized for any issues my using his name on here might have caused. Damn…have I again, unwittingly, made another apparent TOS boo-boo? 😲

@shallow-blue saidThere was a time here when the GF was an honest and open place, with humour and wit and trust.
Even that has already been proved wrong. Right, Content?
-Removed-When I was new here and was introduced to the forums - the general forum and club forum. I enjoyed reading the threads, the posts, getting to know the players a little bit - until about ten years or so perhaps? No, not quite true. I enjoyed this forum until all complaints and negativity started, some years ago.
@great-big-stees saidStees, it's not just about you. People here have families, and those people might not be members here at RHP and therefore cannot give consent to having anything at all about them revealed, including first names of themselves or of any relatives who might somehow be link-able to them. Those people have more than a right to privacy; they are entitled to invisibility.

That is the basis of my gripe about Zuck, WhatsApp, and FB, for example; he monetarizes any and all data he can get his mits on, regardless where or how.
If you want to leave your footprints all over the web, that's your decision; just don't spread others' footprints around, ok?
@great-big-stees saidI know I've made the mistake and said your real name in the public forums as I am so use to talking to you in P.M.'s over the years. You also don't make a big deal of it. Your last name I've never revealed. 🙂
