Sorry but can I be dim as a newbie and ask what RL is!!

Georgimama · 09/04/2011 21:16

real life. None of us spend much time there unless we can help it. If you don't know about it you'll fit right in here.

toddlerama · 09/04/2011 21:21

Ha ha georgimama.

forwantofabetter1 · 09/04/2011 21:22

did my post get deleted?? I only want to know what RL is!

AgentZigzag · 09/04/2011 21:28

(Hi spiders, don't change your name Smile)

Georgimama · 09/04/2011 21:32

RL = real life (heaven's sake!)

MCos · 09/04/2011 21:39

So spiderslegs, how did the 'outing' occur? Did somebody in RL send you an email, did you get a personal email (whatever it is called) from MN? Just curious...

BTW - you sound fun to me. Maybe party host feels you would take away too much attention from her.

spiderslegs · 09/04/2011 22:00

No - MCos.

I posted this thread, then someone in RL, read it, recognised the dilemma, cross refernced - then SPOKE to someone in RL & asked if I ever posted here.....

My Style, on other threads was, aligned to my FB &, apparently, unmistakable.....

As is DH,

Oh dear! I'm always scared that DP will get curious and read some of my posts! Grin

spiderslegs · 09/04/2011 22:30

Be scared - I always thought I was safe in my anonymity - apparently not......

Takeresponsibility · 09/04/2011 22:47

Spiders and Blonde, don't change to a new namw - swap with each other. Then periodically swap back and forth. Twill confuse the stalkers and if anything is said - if you are loathe to explain in full and frank detail why anonymity is important- you can claim it pertains to "Blonde when she was using my name" or "Spider must have said that when she was being me".

Or you could give the stalkers/outers the sharp edge of your tongue (my preferred option) if you are robust enough it won't happen again.

P.S. fb is not real life...

spiderslegs · 10/04/2011 01:38

I actually like the person in RL that outed me.

Am just flummoxed that it happened.

She really is a secret squirrel investigative genius.....

AgentZigzag · 10/04/2011 01:48

So did you not get their MN name spiders?

If not, you'll have to bring the subject up and beat it out of them ask them?

spiderslegs · 10/04/2011 01:56

No - but I will - ask nicely or beat the shit out of them until they tell me-

OP posts:
spiderslegs · 10/04/2011 01:56

That's the irritating thing - I am no longer incognito

But they are.

BitOfFunnyBunny · 10/04/2011 01:58

As long as you you speak as you find on here, and don't talk about very personal stuff, I really don't think the world will care. That's my view anyway.

spiderslegs · 10/04/2011 02:12

But I like to talk about personal stuff.

That's the point innit??

iscream · 10/04/2011 10:40

I'd name change if it were me. You deserve to have your privacy. I have had a few different names here too, just in case I want to rant about anyone from rl.

blondebutonlyfaking · 10/04/2011 11:21

My problem is my life is very distinctive to anyone who knows me, and I have to change details or the stalker twigs. And then she twigs eventually and says "oh have you changed your name are you blondebutonlyfaking it now? Why did you say xyz happened when it didn't happen like that it happened like this abc"

And I've only changed the details to try to throw her off the scent in the first place.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRR
