I was very paranoid making an account here... I wouldnt even give personal info the the mods. As I started using the site more I realize I was being overly paranoid. I think its very common coming out of the borg, we always think they are out to get us. Ive been sharing much more personal info on regular boards lately for two reasons (a) I dont think they have the man power nor care enough (nor would they trust many to be able to read this information and not be "stumbled")... and (b) I just dont give a shit anymore if im outed. If they come after me, they will have made a formidable outspoken opponent whereas I was content to keep to myself and speak to my friends here before.

Id say, try not to lie but just simply dont share things that you think is "too much info" until you feel comfortable doing so. We all need to decide for ourselves how much info we wish to give to the world, because this is the internets after all.

I also felt more comfortable discussing things in "chat" because there is no record of it, and its easier to trust one or two people that you dont know.
