Hello, all,
I ask this because it happened to me on another forum. This last man I was seeing, the Ph.D. in Psychology simply had to type in my user name in a generic search engine, and up popped my private posting on another forum. I felt violated when, after the relationship ended, he revealed to me that he had read all my posts, which dated back for about a year, and were very personal. Foolishly, I had used my same user name I had used on my Ebay account, where he contacted me.
I am still very paranoid about posting on any forum, and this is the only one I visit. I feel certain that it was the contributing factor to his withdrawal from me, but also that my privacy was violated. I've changed my user name, but still feel my posts may be viewed.
