ORIGINAL: mistoferin If someone specifically asks me about someone...I will certainly be honest with them. However, I will only make commentary on those I know well enough to do so....and I won't get into the "Well...I heard....." or "So and so told me". I will also not say anything to someone else that I would not feel comfortable in saying if the person being discussed were standing right before me. Pretty much ditto here too (hi erin), I know a half dozen or so personally, that have a profile on collar-me, and generally only offer information if I'm given a heads up that they offered me as a reference. Even then I limit the information to basics unless asked to do otherwise, like yes I know them and yes they are real. If someone expresses interest in visiting, we usually do offer a contact, like the moderator of our local munch group as a reference, just so they do know a real life person that will say that we are, who we say we are. Not sure how much that really proves actually, but it's better than them thinking we don't know anyone.
