ORIGINAL: marieToo Some excellent points there, MadRabbit. I've been wondering when you were going to cut loose around here. :) Nice job. I agree about the whole "Internet Paranoia" thing. It almost sounds like a syndrome that needs to be named. I dont worry too much myself, but I do make sure I feel comfortable enough before I share a phone number or meet in person. I listen to my gut instincts and use common sense. Beyond that, when I feel ready to meet someone in person, or even share my number for the first time, I don't think like a victim, I dont live in fear (not that kind of fear anyway). I am in the mindset that the other person would be treading on dangerous ground should they be foolish enough to attempt some kind of foul play towards me. If I were someone else, I would not want me for an enemy. This is the mind frame that I believe people should get their heads in, instead of that "oh my god, what if he's an ax murderer" thing; that type of attitude leads to a belief that one is helpless against intrusion, which I think is a dangerous mindset to adopt. their is a difference between living in fear and living in ignorance(of what can be done with very little info in this case) living in ignorance because its easier to say " well i cant live in fear of meeting people from here" is just dangerous. People should be aware of how easy of prey you are online. furthermore your in a lifestyle that makes you even easier prey to sexual predators. Their are reasons i am an advocate on this: 1) ive hacked, ive obtained info about people just from an email a messanger or a website( cookies anyone?) 2)i learned to hack in less than 6 months in my spare time. i also learned it dont matter how many firewalls you have that is just a speed bump, i can circumvent and disable all of them, it just takes a little more time. 3) im male, i know how males think and i know that most women have the mindset of "it wont happen to me" 4)you ever watch to catch a predator? not just the child predators the other ones? 5) the inet has the " anonymous" false sense of security. mainly because people dont know better. its 10 times easier for me to find your house sitting here talking to you than if i meet you at a club for the first time. and i dont have to leave my house. i can even get a picture of your house in some cases so i dont even have to scope it out in person i can do all that from my pc. In not trying to scare people im trying to educate them. Ive been on the other side. ive been the predator( hacker not sexual) . i think like a predator because ive hacked with the sole intention of not getting caught. And spanklette ( not picking on you by the way just your one in the discussion on the other side of the coin)i would have to say you would be a target for me if i was sexual predator. your an easy mark, no offense. and im very very good at manipulation. your willingness to meet quickly would draw me to you like bees to spilled soda.
