Same here!! I do not care to know if I really do know someone on here. It is a personal subject and very sensitive issue.

Nope. I have recognized two people I knew from another site from their avatars which were of them though.

I would like everyone to respect my privacy and extend that to others as well. If it was really obvious and someone I was comfortable with, I might say something, but I wouldn't go out of my way to figure it out.

If I even thought I knew who the EF person was I wouldn't ask or bring it up.

Even if I thought I had a clue, it would seem invasive.

I would personally love to have my friends on here. If someone thinks they might know me, send me a private message with your real name and just ask me.

I wouldn't try to look for my friends on here though because I'm sure everybody sounds like someone you know.

Oh wow, that kind of gave me the creeps thinking about it! Good heavens I do hope nobody tries digging into my life. Lol. Not that I care too much since I kind of do put it all out there for everyone to see. I just don't like the fake screenname and not going by Kendra, it's just not me and I'd feel limited, restricted or something. Guess it can be a bad thing though, to be so open.

I have never tried to dig into someone's info. If they have no real name, I leave it at that. I assume if they want me to know more about them or know their real name, etc they'll tell me. I don't know what exactly you'd do to dig into someone's real life, but I suppose if you were serious about it, you could.

I have visited someone's FB who had their profile listed here on EF. Other than that, no.

I've never thought I recognized someone on any forum.

I wouldn't bother to even try to figure out who the people here are, if I found out somehow or the person told me because they wanted to be friends outside of this site that's alright...but to actively seek that information seems a bit rude to me.
But I do know one of the users here because she's a friend of mine that I introduced to EF myself. ^_^
She doesn't get on much though.

Just an update from me; I messaged the person and they haven't replied, it's been weeks, I probably creeped them out! XD

I ternd to be more forthright than that..if I think I might know you and I want to confirm it I'll just ask you privately.

No way. I love the anonymity on here and I wouldn't want to know anyone on here IRL. Maybe this is generational, but the very thought of someone playing detective, trying to figure out who someone is, just creeps me out.
