or more what is the etiquette?

[thatisall]

If you recognise someone you know in rl by what they've said on here. Do you post your advice as though you've never met, or say, i know who this is and i think this. Or do you say nothing?

Lovely lady by the way, shit problem and i think people are seeing it as black and white judging by their responses, which is why I feel the urge to wade in and say my piece lol.

I'd say my piece anonymously.

done! I'm going in lol

Have done and posted what I would have and did said to her in RL. If things are very sensitive, maybe decide whether you need to tell her you know her NN.

maybe....it is a situation Im aware of in RL, but not the extent or some of the background....bless her if she reads this she'll know it's me here haha

I agree, say what you need to say but stay anonymous.

Can I differ? If it was me and someone supportive in RL recognised a problem I was having, I'd welcome their RL support too!

I agree with bring. I would PM her and let her know you know.
Then she can either name change or maybe it would give you the opportunity to give her some rl support.

I'd say nothing on the thread or rl and avoid threads by her in future.
I have outed myself to a couple of people when I have recognised them from lighthearted posts but if someone wants anonymous advice they don't want someone popping up from rl.
