Often, because forums are a text-based world, it can be difficult to read someone and their thought process based solely on their words. When you do not have an expression to look at, or a tone of voice, a lot gets lost.
I didn't realize you were joking when you said that.
But it did bring one issue to my attention that I decided to put into the rules. Personal safety here is paramount, and it's something where I would rather overreact than do nothing and have bad things happen.
Not on my watch, not if I can help it.
My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?

Very good idea. I wish more places on the internet would adhere to the spirit of anti-stalking laws.

It was my way of saying she was the most special person in SGT. I most want to meet Alison Krauss of all singers. I am taking someone with me to make sure I am not runing around doing stupid things. I have known my share of CMs in DLR and once in Knotts. They are nice people but I knew them either in passing or the dear ones through pin trading or some aspect of their job.
I also know about stalkeers and perverts, seen one too many in my days on the internet. I did the log work on a dude who was going into private chat with minors. One of the girls in love iwth a pervert ended up cutting and needing help. I tried being nice.l Now to go and sleep and then maybe go check out Disneyland and figure how to do this trip.
========================
Bad News
At WDW they have lists for many allergens that list what foods are free of that allergen. Right now I have to go into the park to get the list for Gluten Free/Celiac. I am maybe 99% soy free. I cannot get a list of cart and counter service foods that are soy free. French fries are notorious for soy and wheat. Van's gluten free waffles are full of soy flour for example.

I'm all for the new rule, and for privacy for those who seek it.
As for me, I'm not too worried. In fact, I don't mind posting an actual picture of me and my wife:

Yup. You ain't just whistling Dixie!
And no doubt about it, one's privacy is very important on the Internet.

Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.
