to point out that we might be able to identified on here

[Bennifer]

Honest to god, I'm no stalker, but in a thread I was reading, someone let something slip (something to do with where I live), and I did a quick google, and the person is quite prominent in a certain field. That person is a regular poster, and now I feel quite strange that I know who they are in RL.

Now I'm on a bus yesterday, and I see the person walking along the street. I didn't go out to find a particular person, it just almost happenened (apart from the one google).

AIBU to point out how easy we might be identifiable?

Crazynanna. I like the pentacostal church thing. Many things will have changed since I was there

I change details so I don't think that people could identify me.

Abs vair funny!

confuddledDOTcom How did she know?!

We were joking about bump names and older children getting too used to them and she recognised mine.

crazynanna i am from holloway, not seen you though!
i think if someone who knows me sees me on here they could probably work out who i am without too much difficulty, i am not bothered, its not as if i have said anything top secret or so big deal

Firawla Try the pubs and the 99p store

I know where someone lives... On a thread about primary school catchment areas she mentioned the school down the road from me and that she lives in the road opposite mine. If I ever meet someone in RL who lives on that road with school age kids I might be tempted to ask are you xxx from mumsnet, but I dunno, it would be a bit weird!

Does anyone know who I am?

Im pretty sure some mums from school are Mumsnetters. I hope to god they dont find me.

quackquacksqueak- are you a v confused duckmouse ?

Or a duck that's swallowed a mouse?

I'm very identifiable on here, ESP as I also have photos on my profile. It wouldn't take anyone very long to match my online identity to my real one, my game, my dd's name, town I love, etc.

But I don't put stuff on here that I don't want others to know or that I would be embarrassed by others reading.

If I have something to say that I don't want linked to the real meal, I have a couple of name changes. Although this is very rare.

So what if I am?

I think I've met you tigga... It was awhile ago though so could be wrong, I'm rubbish and matching online names with people when they tell me.

I still want to know who the MNer is who told me she was one but wouldn't tell me who because she wanted to remain anonymous!

Ooh confuddled- that's just mean! She has completely the upper hand, not fair at all.

It's weird but I always feel like I know dawntiggga too... but even with her photo on her profile, I'm sure I've never met her!

I live my internet life exactly like my real life, so why would I care if someone on here recognised me or googled and found me? I did get pissed off once when someone off another forum found my DH on facebook and messaged him a link to a thread I started about our relationship, because if I had wanted him to read it I would have shown it to him and that was bloody cheeky and they clearly just wanted to damage my marriage, but he just ignored it.

I think if people post personal details about their job, location, real name etc then they clearly don't mind being outed and tbh that's the sort of person I would rather chat to on here - open people not pretending to be something they aren't.

I've got one of those faces :)

HopeYouThinkYouLikeMeInRLButAmEasyIfYouDon'tTiggaxx

dawntigga- I'm sure I'd like you in rl- I love your posts on here!

After just short of giving you all a grid reference where you could find me this afternoon NOT ONE person came up and said hello!!!

I thought there may have been at least one MNer in Haigh Park this afternoon!

I wouldn't like it. I think you should pm her.
