Something horrible just happened

I intend to continue doing so, whether or not others approve.

I get the idea of wanting to write things here that you may not share with others IRL.

There isn't anything I have written on BFP/other sites that I wouldn't share with a friend or two, but I don't want to lose control over who does know about my personal life, if I can help it. I have managed this by not posting my picture -EVER- in the 18 or so years I have been on forums such as these.

My suggestion to you is that you remove your pictures so that you can remain as anonymous as possible.

The last couple of years I have toyed with the idea of putting up my picture, since I have gotten to know people better and I want them to "see" who I am, so to speak. I feel almost guilty for not having it up, while others share freely their happy smiles (or the moody, dark look the masculine folks try to pull off...ha!)

Anyway, if you are serious about remaining separate from your "real life", then I would suggest taking them down. If someone sees your picture and then has your screen name, they can read all your posts.
