@raging vortex I am very sorry you experienced this. You should never have been put into such a dire and uncomfortable situation. The woman should have known better. I am glad you stood up for yourself and made your feelings known. It took a lot of courage. I am proud of you.

I feel for everyone who have been asked for one's home address. I've had similar at another forum and the forum staff did nothing to help which was why I resigned it, and never returned.

Every single one of us have boundaries and I know most let them be known from the outset of any special online friendship, so there should be no misunderstandings from the outset. Except some people just don't understand we have need for privacy, and also it is vitally improtant to feel safe as a member of a public forum. I, also, would not feel at all comfortable and would report anyone if they overstepped my boundaries!

I am glad and grateful that PC has such a good record of well moderated posts, and that many members look out for one-another. This is as important as any online community so respecting one's privacy should go really without question.
