Alwasy remember that internet friends may not be what they seem. To be fair, most are what they seem, I have met a great number. But I am also not a cute teenager. And I don't meet teenagers.
Since we have a few younger members here, both to read and to post, I thought it might be time to remind us all that, until we know precisely who they are, internet friends need to be treated with cautiousness in terms of giving personal information away, whether here, or on sites you link to.
Remember that we can pose as the person we wish to be or need to be instead of the people we are. That;s by no means always harmful. We often have issues that can only be worked out by presenting the ideal picture we have of ourselves. It can go wrong, though, if we hurt others while helping ourselves, even if we never intended to.
Also, remember that the harmless uncle type may well be a harmless uncle. But someone who came here a few years ago was jailed for kiddieporn and has 22 and a half suspended years remaining of his sentence. He seemed so nice, too, but he made S&M videos of teen boys in his spare time.
That cute teenager may be all he seems to be. Almost always he is, but a very small percentage of the time he's a law officer going about his lawful business of finding those who groom kids for unlawful acts. I'm happy about that because that cute teenager needs to be protected from the likes of S&M video guy above!
I'm not doing any more here than stating the obvious. I just want to make as sure as any webmaster can that the folk who use the site remember to be wise. I don't want anyone getting hurt, especially if it's a kid. I can't ensure it, but I can make sure we know to be safe.
