[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 367640, member: 1991"] Mariah, I just noticed your avatar. I hope it's not actually a photo of you and your kids, it is really important FOR YOU to maintain anonymity on this site. Of course here you're among friends, but the nature of this site later on especially can mean you need to vent about a doctor, a teacher, a neighbour, a family member. ANd if you can be tracked to here, then you will not be able to safely vent freely. I have learnt the hard way, that what I write about my kids has been tracked by a teacher, and then copies passed around the staffroom. Also at other times and in other issues, I have had stuff I've written used to do harm to my reputation even when what I had written (under my own name) was not offensive. It was the way it was presented to people. My words weren't themselves distorted, but were framed in a diatribe about how what I really meant was X. Pass that to someone paranoid, and the first I knew of it was when 'friends' took me aside then tore strips off me for what I had said about them personally (I had not) online. All because of one nasty mischief-maker. Anonymity is safest. Tell whoever you feel safest with, but go carefully. For example, my husband knows I post here - he lurks here, he finally joined. It has helped our teamwork enormously (and we had thought it was already as good as you could ever get). But no way could I vent about him here. Not unless I clear it with him first! And the same goes for him, too... Marg [/QUOTE]
