Please feel free to bookmark it for all your future defending-frau-kaleun needs. :O:

I don't get it? :rotfl2:

Yeah, yeah, whatever... :yawn:
Pawning and all that POS :down:

The photos in a pm was meant as a joke. I very much doubted you would do it, since you wouldn't share such info in a public thread. If you feel good about having this incognito alter ego here, then go ahead and stay anonymous. I could care less. :|\\
Personally, I don't have a problem showing the forum users who I am, especially because I took part of one of the subsim meets, where everybody makes lots of photos. So what if future employeurs find out I or any of us have a submarine hobby? It has nothing to do with any criminal activity. At the most, it would be something to hide from a potential mr/mrs in the beginning, since it's a nerd thing. :D

Anyway, I don't wanna be "enemies" because of this. If you feel insulted because I asked you how you look and if you wanna share, then so be it. But it was meant as an invitation from my part. Not as an insult. How you deal with it from here, is your affair.:03:

Somebody go over to Dowly's and see if he's OK. I think SubSim's resident sexist pig has OD'd on pain meds. :D

Not sure where you're getting the "enemies" thing, given the :O: appended to my reply, nor do I believe I gave any indication of feeling insulted, any more than I gave any indication of feeling embarrassed or shy. Those are your assumptions. I've already stated why I do what I do and don't do online, so let's just drop it shall we? :DL

It was a takeoff on Dowly's "leave frau kaleun alone" and the followup post of HunterICX's featuring what I think is a picture of the girl who became infamous for her "leave Britney alone" youtube (?) video.

I used a picture of Sheldon from Big Bang Theory... what can I say, I just watched a ton of it.

Sorry, I was making a joke as a dense male, and because I'm sooooo dense, it FAILED! :shucks:

I compared you to one of our early members, Sharkstooth, or Sharkey for short. That related to the hardcore attitude. But you also share this in common. She attended a couple of Subsim meetings, and absolutely insisted that her face not be shown in the group pictures, so it was overlaid with the cartoon version drawn by torplexed.

I agree, it's a good idea, especially for a woman, to not be giving away too much information. I can't speak for anyone else here, even the men, but I let my picture and info out simply because I've reached a point in my life where I have nothing left to lose. Also guys tend not to think about things that might happen. Women are much better at that.:sunny:

Generally speaking, we have to be. Not that I consider it an issue with the people I've interacted with here on a regular basis, but as with any large internet group most members don't interact with other members on a regular basis and many never do - so no one never gets to know them at all. But they still have access to whatever information is put out there.

To tell the truth it's more of a personal boundaries thing for me than anything "gender-related" - most of my bad experiences as a result of giving out personal info to people I met online have been with other women, not with men. And certainly nothing that endangered anyone's personal safety as far as I could tell, but enough lines were crossed that I learned where my boundaries are and how best to protect them.

Well, as everyone knows:

(yes, that is I)

I much preferred the one of you at the music festival....the one with the ice cream cone on the top of yer head :D

How, err, manly of you :o

I need to open a poll asking "Who considers them selves as a 'other'"

A 'other' what? :hmmm:
