Why I Choose to stay anonymous...

Pro31:28 · #1 09-17-2009, 05:26 PM

I personally have not chosen to stay anonymous, anyone can figure out who I am- This is a question for people who would NEVER let it slip publicly who they really are.

This is a take off of the thread "How would you define AFF"- and it made me curious, it is also a topic of study in one of my classes- "online personas"

Because I know what kind of idiots are out there on the internet. I know people who have had other so called Christians try to get them fired, harrass their pastors and spread rumors about them...then there are the non-Apostolics that are just stalkers. Better safe than sorry

A friend has a friend has a friend.......

When someone passes pictures or information to me or I know they have shared some of my life with someone else, they have lost my trust - forever.

My option was not listed:

"I need to remain anonymous because machines from the future with to assassinating me before I can rise and up and lead the human resistance against them."

You mean you wanted me to keep those pictures private?

Of course mine, but so do other people, I'm sure. I wouldn't pass pictures along without getting permission from the person first. But it's like any other friendship - if a person is sharing and talking to you about things they shouldn't, you pretty well know you won't and can't trust them with your personal information and life. That's a no-brainer.

Well, I can honestly say that I had your mailing address once. I requested it for one purpose (which you knew) -- and gave it to the person who had requested it-- (with your permission). I also destroyed it right after that, and don't even have it in MY personal records anymore.. LOL How's that? Oh, and another thing--- with my memory being what it is, I can honestly say-- I don't remember anything other than your first name and the state you live in. You don't have to worry about me becoming a stalker. I hope you still trust me.

Everyone would ask for an autograph and all AFF ladies would probably fall in love with me. I prevent all this from happening by keeping my anonymity on AFF.

Yes, you're welcome AFF.
