TMI (Too Much Information)
I have noticed that people tend to share information on xanga in a pretty open way. Some will share all about their sex lives. Others will share that they are PMSing. Some will talk about troubles in their marriage. Still others will talk about the struggles they are having with their children.
Xanga is an online journal and so it is only natural that people would talk about their pain and struggle.
Is there such a thing as TMI on xanga?
Comments (208)
no
if you dont wanna read it, then dont
not really unless you post something that is really personal then you get negative feedback. could make you feel like you are giving TMI.
Oh yes.
Missed you DAN! <3
Hmm..
Hmm..
not really…if you don’t want to know, don’t read it.
For me, yes. But to each their own…
yea….to talk about sex on an online place where anyone, froma 13 year old to a 50 year old (plus) can see it…thats just inappropriate.
There’s such a thing as TMI in any venue.
i don’t think so.
Oops..damn computer. And if it wasn’t so slow I could’ve been first..*sigh*..but I don’t think so. Sharing those things is what brings people closer haha.
The whole point is ‘put it out there’. Majority of readers don’t know who you are and it’s a healing process for me. I wouldn’t write about my personal sex life, for instance…..that, to me is TMI. But that’s just me.
No cuz its yours
Well, kinda. I guess it’s weird for kids to see sex lives online. But there are ratings now, so kids can’t go see it.
But hey, if you don’t wanna read it, then don’t. It’s not like it’s required to read everyone and their momma’s pages.
I seem to be one who definitely shares way too much information. I say things on Xanga that I wouldn’t tell people in real life …. well, actually I do … I like to talk and I tend to say way too much. I guess I trust everyone and I think they really care and/or are entertained by my inanity. It’s just fun … and if it feels good, you should!!! Hey dan … you never visit me … are you mad at me???????? How can I make it up to you??????
Alicia
in my opinion no. thats the beauty of xanga. you can be yourself, nothing to hide.
It depends on the person. Some people are more comfortable sharing more information.
Online journel always have TMI, but if they dont mind sharing, then to them its not.
Yesss!!
things are less embarassing for people when they say it online. so if they have something TMI to share, it’s easier to get it off their chest on xanga.
pshaw, no. if its TMI for you, don’t read it.
I don’t think so, if you don’t like it, don’t read it.
saying things online apparently lessen the impact
no if they don’t wanna know then they don’t have to go around reading ppls journals
oh yes
I want to say yes because their are things I don’t want to hear about in a random journal…. but NO, there isn’t such a thing as TMI on Xanga. The beauty of Xanga is that if you don’t like it, don’t read it.
Yessss!!!!
Idk. Maybe. I mean some guy subscribed to me, I went to go see his site, and the first think I see is a picture of him jacking off! I didn’t need to see that! Whether it’s tmi or not….I don’t know.
Even though it’s a journal, it is public. People are aware that they are giving TMI. But whatever they are comfortable with…
Yes! When it comes to bowel movements, no one wants read that shit!
I have gotten very informed on a plethera of topics I woula have never been exposed to. I am grateful for the TMI!!!
When it involves other people (ie. sex or family problems) I don’t want to share something that they don’t want publisized on xanga. They deserve a certain amount privacy. When it comes to things more like PMSing and personal issues… eh… if you don’t want to read it, go check out another site.
Question: Why has my xanga been on the Featured Content so often lately? I emailed xanga, but have gotten no response!
Noticed your xanga is ALWAYS on the FC list, so I thought you might know!!!
Blessings,
micala
I think it depends how you interact with the person in the past.
Oh yes. I could be having a completely rotten day and I will typically write my xanga post in such a way where no one can tell what I’m truly thinking. I try to keep information about my personal struggles to a minimum on xanga. This is the internet! Anyone can read what you write! I also always ask myself, “This will probably still be around in 5 years. Do I really want this information to be available to people then?” If the answer is “no”, I leave it off.
Xanga’s an online journal, like you said, so it’s for people’s own thoughts… but being online, it is open for anyone to see.
My opinion, however would be yes.
If there is PDA there is TMI
TMI? Like when someone talks about the boil between their butt cheeks and how they’re girlfriend helped pop it? – That might be TMI, however to someone else TMI would be if the guy took it a bit further and talked about how they rolled around in the oozy stuff after they popped it, now that might be TMI!
no not really…
*their
Yes
I don’t even have a sex life! I’d sure as hell share one if I had one. Prove to mommy that I’m not gay.
You can’t really put a limit to what a “journal” is and isn’t too say. So no
Sometimes. There are things I intentionally hold back from my own site.
-Guru on the Hill
Yeah, it is sort of creepy. People share things with the whole world that they would never dare to share with their close friends.
That depends on what you’re talking about and what your intentions are. I am sometimes overly honest with some personal things but the intent is to make people aware of the pitfalls/downside of making the wrong decisions. I’ve made more mistakes (grave mistakes) than the average person and when I speak on things, it is from experience and not just observations from an outside observer. Some may say that I go too far sometimes, and perhaps I do, but I do it not just for the shock value, but to reach out and touch someone’s heart and maybe even help them in a small way.
That being said, there are topics, like sex, that you can go too far in….and there’s really no reason for it, and it does not edify…but sometimes it’s fun.
Depends on the write and what he thinks is TMI.
Personally, I wouldn’t write about my imaginary sex life (haha).
Bless you, Dan, for doing your part to fight terrorism!!! You are a true American Hero!!! I salute you!!!
Well, yeah. If they talk about information like that, they should put it on private. I mean, what if some homeschooled goody-goody-two-shoes teenager comes across a blog dipicting sex? The parents would go crazy! And plus, most of us don’t even want to read that rubbish. If you want to confess something, go see a therapist. ~xox, Ginny
yes
sometimes… i guess that nobody really wants to hear about your sex life. but its a blog ppl are going to post what they want you know.
absolutely. i consider xanga as a way to talk to friends or whatever. not really talking about personal thoughts. i mean, its weird to put like everything you’re thinking online. i mean, ANYONE can read it. duh.
There is such a thing as too much information in any arena. I’m tame when it comes to Xanga but the subjects I talk about in person are sometimes, as some would say, a little inappropriate. It’s a game of push and pull for us all to discover what and in whose company something is appropriate or not.
You wanna see TMI? Here’s TMI!!
http://www.xanga.com/I_am_all_alone_here
^^ creepy guy who leaves comments on our sites
blegh
Mmph. Yeah. Especially with pictures.
ryc: No, I don’t want to be linked and subjected to freaky traffic
It’s just when I heard the news I immediately thought, “Dan’s going to ask about this.” Sooo called your move there 
Not really. The whole point of this is to write about your life. Theres no such thing as TMI because life isnt censorsed so neighter are people blogs.But I think that sex life is a little too much because if that gets out then your sort of screwed.Im aure as hell open about things on mine.
No, I don’t think there’s too much information. The standard for TMI is changing though, heh. As long as it’s true, it’s fine– there should be no libel. Maybe full names shouldn’t be used in anecdotes that are potentially embarrassing?
heck no! im not keeping a blog for others! my xanga’s for me. if u wish to read it, okay! whatever!! but you are no one to say “TMI” or “gee i REALLY DIDNT NEED TO KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!” or “i could have gone all my life without ever having to know that…”
XOXO,
cG.
ryc: Oh dear. You’re not that predictable! Maybe breastfeeding. You almost always have a breastfeeding post :p
Oh, it’s quite possible to go too far in my eyes.. but no one can go too far in their own journal willingly.. if they don’t want it said, they won’t put it on the WORLD WIDE Web.
meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeebe.
yeah, there’s a line b/t wat’s appropriate to post on something as relatively public a xanga. talking about their sex lives and such, that’s tmi. no one really wants to hear about it anyway.
No ….since Xanga gives you three options….public, protected, and private. Even more helpful is that they provide an “edit” so you can change your entry if you so desire to a different option of publication. As for the readers……it is like television…….if you do not like it……don’t read it or go to a journal that is more to your liking.
to each his own, but why would you wanna write about sex and things like that? i wouldn’t, but whatever works for people.
it is a journal….but sometimes we don’t want to know about that. I suppose there’s not….
Nope.
Probably so! Did I say too much? I think if a person totally described their sex thing and where and what thats TMI!
Yes.
But can we do anything about them saying TMI? No.
Can we help out ourselves by just not reading it? YES!
no. it’s their website, they can put what ever they want.
No, who wants a modest journal? There are ratings, private posts, protected, whatever a person can do. But bottomline if it is TMI for one’s eyes, they can click themselves outta there.
To each their own.
I share some things but there are things I keep all to myself.
What ever your comfortable with.
I wonder why people open public blogs and when others find them or get info they act to violated.
If you don’t want others to know online blogs are NOT the place to be.
NO. If someone wants to air their deepest secrets in a public forum it is the choice of the user whether to read it or not.
I personally don’t like when women go into specific detail about their menstrual cycles but I usually just skim over that or just click onto someone more interesting, like say ummm, you Danny boy
Yup – but I try to keep from sharing too much personal info online, if I want to talk about private things that’s what my friends are for. Everyone has their own rule of thumb on what is TMI, and as people have already mentioned, if you don’t like it, don’t read it.
You real name, address, and such is definitely TMI. Anything else… whatever. If you don’t like it, don’t read it.
yep
ummm…it depends on the situation i guess. but yes sometimes there are sites with tmi.
i guess some ppl just dont care lol
Yes, I personally dont need to hear about people sexual antics, skin disorders, and boyfriend problems, but it is their right to post it.
no.
yes, theres TMI enerywhere.
It’s everywhere.
i think that you should keep some stuff to yourself.. make then blogs private maybe. but yeah, i share when i’m pmsing.. i dont want people to think im a bitch 100%..just during that one week =)
ryc: oh Dan. Uncool. You gotta be hip for your kids, man.
yeah i guess there is but it is the persons right to put on here whtvr they feel like……….
hahaa
it depends.
Yes, definently.
No.
I think discussing those items in an open internet forum where you also post your personal photos and that can lead to a true identity – is stupid. If you’re gonna discuss that stuff, for goodness sake don’t tell us who you really are or give us obvious clues.
No, just TMA (too much asking).
YES! And that would be why there is something called “PRIVATE” posts. lol
~Namaste~

CrimsonWings (A Goddess in the making!)…A continuous work in progress!
Ehh probly…like if someone was telling about one of there wild and naughty sex storys…thats WTMI (Way too much information)
xX-Nicole-Xx
yep
No. It’s your journal put what you want in it.
Just becuase we have freedom of speech and just because the internet has poor regulations doesn’t mean everyone can just say whatever they want. Anyone could read this. Someone posted saying that young or old, any person may come across someone’s xanga page and read something they didn’t want to. And to those who say “Just don’t read it.” Well imagine being down on Venice Beach on California or out in some open area and having someone shout inappropriate things. They could get a disturbing the peach ticket. The internet is a public thing and anything public should have some regulations.
not really… i guess if the writer’s comfortable with sharing such information to the public, then so be it. it’s to the reader’s discretion whether or not he/she continues to read
hope you have a great weekend!
yes and when i tried to openly express that to the few people who come to my site i was retaliated against by none other than dan.
but i suppose it’s different for someone my age, eh?
what really is too much info?
it might be for some, but for others, its completely normal
No…if people think it’s tmi..then don’t visit my page..which by the way can sometimes be PG13 or rated R..
YES
I think it would be easier to write about problems in marriage, trouble with children, and things like that on xanga, cuz, most of the people on here, you don’t know. So you can choose to stay anonymous or whatever. As dar as sex life goes, it’s innapropriate. Like orchestra3241 said, 13-whatever age can view what you’re writing about unless you go protected or whatever, but it still could happen, and I wouldn’t think a sex life is anyone’s buisness but the person’s. I feel smart, lol.
I expect that, for the most part, my audience is made up of my friends. I post things that I would tell them. I don’t care if a stranger reads them. It’s too unlikely. Besides, I wouldn’t tell anything to my friends thath would be too damaging in the first place.
not really. whatever someone is comfortabel with sharing. go for it.
Yes. Horrendous insecurity is shared, but it seems as if showing these things to everybody doesn’t seem like much to them at all.
People should be allowed to put whatever they want online. It’s their lives.
no way. if you think someone else’s xanga is a bit TMI, then stop reading it.
Personally, there is no such thing as TMI on any online journal, but don’t post something up here that you aren’t comfortable with the whole freaking world reading. I hate it when someone posts something up here and someone the next day at school says something about what they wrote and that person is like “OMG HOW DID YOU KNOW!?”
Also personally, I don’t want to know when someone is PMS-ing, but I tend to skim over those parts, so it’s all good.
If you’ve ever read one of my masturbation posts, you probably already know my answer to this one, Dan.
Hmmm….. nah, I don’t think so. It’s up to people whether they want to read it or not.
not really that is what xanga is for, to write and expess your feelings and what’s going to in your life
yea
The only way one can complain about TMI from another is when they have no choice but listen. On xanga, if you do not desire to know, you should not read the entry. Since you have a choice, TMI cannot apply to xanga.
For me I just use it as a rant, but when your talking about your sex life, I think that’s taking it a little too far.
I agree with most of the other responses. No one is forcing anyone to read it, so as long as the person is comfortable with sharing their deepest, most embarrassing things with thousands of people, it’s all up to that individual.
Dan, I thought of you when I read this ARTICLE. I guess I thought you’d find it interesting . . . a possible topic for one of your musings. Ha.
:: Kevin
Nope.
With the whole faceless identity thing, it’s easy to be giving out TMI. Some do, some don’t.
yes, there’s TMI on top of TMI everywhere on blogs, and it’s lame…. people should use the “private” setting for junk like that.
There might be, but it’s their Xanga as long as it doesn’t violate the terms of service from Xanga.
YES. I have complained about this before and I totally agree.
Absolutely not….. A journal is a place to talk about whatever you want, whenever you want and however you want. If you don’t like it, don’t read it. Come on, anyone who has an online journal is an exhibitionist, myself included. We all get off on other people, strangers, peering into our most intimate, deepest secrets- sexy or religious, it doesn’t matter. We have a need to have our thoughts be validated. Otherwise, we would all have a “diary” or a document on our computer that we could type entries into just for ourselves.
And those of you who think that some of what you read on here is inappropriate, well what did you expect?!?! “Oh today I went to the grocery store and got some apples. They were on sale…” Blah, Blah, Blah. BORING!!
I rated my own site D and most of my entries are protected for only those that I approve to read. But that is for my own personal ease of mind. I personally love to read about other people’s sex lives, so keep it up all you exhibitionists out there!
There is TMI for anything, but if they want to give the information out that’s there business. I just wont read it.
I have never been scared of TMI. If it helps people to get through a problem or deal with something then what is wrong with it? Most people tend to try and keep things inside. I think this allows a lot of people to open up that normally wouldn’t. I think it also allows some people to create an alter ego that they have always wished to be. There is no harm in doing that unless it the alter ego takes over.
That’s the beauty of Xanga…if u’ve had enough, you can just stop reading. Unless you’re like one of those speedreaders and your eyeballs get skidmarks from stopping too quickly…
LOL!!! Potential scenario…
Speed Reader of anonymous raunchy blog: And then he unzipped his pants as he began to carress my upper….*screeeeeeeeeeech!!!* OH NO MY EYES!!!!
LOL!!!!!
yes like when they get into graffic detail about some sexual disfunction or ugly mold growing between their toes… or something gross like that. everything else is ok with me.

For those saying “If it’s TMI for you, then don’t read it”…how do you know it’s TMI unless you do? Just wondering…
But no, these are personal blogs…nothing is TMI or off limits. These are real people and real lives.
How did this site get to be so popular? it great n’ all, but did you just comment random people?
To CynaraJane-Well, if the first line of the blog is “so last night I had sex with this really groovy guy and….”. Maybe you should move on if you don’t want to read the rest. Just a thought
yes, TMI.
No, because thats what a xanga’s are for..It’s a journal, you’re supposed to express yourself in the way that you want to. It’s all about how you feel.
No..
It is a journal.
Of course, if you know that a crud load of people read your xanga– then I guess be discrete.
I would say no, just because I use my xanga as a personal journal and I say pretty much whatever’s on my mind at the moment.
I wouldn’t expose the secrets of someone, even if they’re my enemy. If it can hurt someone, I wouldn’t say it. I don’t think people should be Xanga surfing unless they expect to come across someone’s sex life.
I had diarrhea last night
No, it’s an online JOURNAL.
I’ve seen various sites of people talking about poop… (???)
We just have to live with it….. not the poop, the TMI.
yes.
Not really. It’s easier to share with strangers than people you see on a regular basis. It’s one thing for people you’ve never met to tell you you’re secret fetish is freaky… it’s another to have people look at you every day and say one thing but think another.
It’s a journal. If you’re writing in your journal, you’ll write stuff for yourself, and if you don’t care who knows, then it’s up to them if they wish to read it or not. Yes, I write when I’m PMSing, and I write when I’m in a bitchy mood because it’s “that time of the month” … because it’s part of life. I laugh at the above comment about goody-two-shoes homeschooled teenagers and their parents. LOL… What an overgeneralization!
Anyone who has ever read my journal knows I am completely open and comfortable sharing… I might not like my life, but I’m not ashamed of it. If I happen to read someone else’s journal, I don’t judge and I like to think that most people wouldn’t either, like the saying goes ” never judge a man til you’ve walked a mile in his shoes”
Usually if something is bothering me I feel a lot better after getting it out of my head even if no one reads it or if everyone does.
I will even go a little further to say that spilling my guts on here has made me a lot more comfortable with myself.
There can be too much, but like you said, it’s someones life. If people don’t want to know, they can stop reading it.
Never TMI here. I soak this stuff up!!
~L~
(p.s. We homeschooled our daughter up through 9th grade… hence my chuckle at the stereotype)
T.M.I.? Why, yes, especially from those who choose to drink and dial-up (or drink and DSL). I’ve been guilty a few times of T.M.I., but now I put posts on hold until I’m sober. Well, most of the time.
I believe it honestly depends on the person sharing the information.
Not at all. We each have our own standards of it….but nobody knows anyone else on here in real life, so if you say someone’s beating you or you’re PMSing, nobody in real life will do anything about it, and it’s most likely that nobody on here will see you in real life-and if you see each other, you probably won’t know you’re each xangans.
YES!!
I think so
Most likely
A little bit
Only if you read it.
yes.
An interesting phenomenon to be sure!
The drive to share TMI can be brought on be the need to shock, sometimes by the need to try to draw a reader by writing about things they may never have had a chance to sample, but as I travel through life, I’m finding everyone has pretty much the same drama, and telling a story will not prevent a single person from making the same mistakes.
It is also a cheap replacement for the confessional.
Dear Xanga friends,
Today I fell in the park, and I scraped my knee. First I thought I was gonna be ok, but then it started to turn purple and ooze yellow puss. All the while this was going on, it bled freely. I also noticed later on that I had bruised my elbow and it also turned puple, but it had some green, yellow, and black mixed in as well.
l8er,
liz
Yea I’d say that there is such a thing as TMI.
yes. u should write about it and set those entires to private.
*entries
Absolutely.
Absofrickinlutely yes.
Yes, there can be TMI but I do not have to read it. Those who post TMI in the public setting need to realize that anyway can read it and need to be careful sometimes.
No. Xanga is a place to record what’s going on in your life. Personally, I use it more for myself than for other people. So, if you don’t care to read it, STOP.
Funny you should say this, because in one of my recent headlines, I mentioned I was PMSing…
Oops! TMI, my bad.
I’m with the people who say if they on’t wanna know, then don’t read it.
heck yes
If you don’t want to read that sort of stuff, then don’t be a regular reader to that particular blog. It’s one of those common sense (or lack thereof) matters. As long as they don’t mind total strangers reading whatever they have to say about any given subject then it doesn’t appear to be a problem. However, they should be prepared for equally horrendous comments if they are going to get so specific.
Definately, and I didn’t need to know that
!
nope, its your site, you share as much as you want, when its too much for the reader, they can leave.
Never.
no, it’s that person’s so xanga, so they can post what they want. if you don’t like it, don’t read it. simple.
nope
No. If you don’t like it, don’t comment, or read other people’s stuff.
I think the kids are more at risk with the TMI u got to remember there are still freaks and peds. out there looking for easy targets
yeah
My ex-wife and the three axe-murderers I live with who like to take turns working out with my free weights think so.
there is but to many xanga is like their diary.i do share some stuff but not all.Some if for only me to know and whoever on here never to find out.That stuff would go in my personal diary if i still had one but i made a huge mistake and threw them all away just cuz my boyfriend who i am no longer dating told me to.I regret it now.
But yeah there is such thing.but like people can say whatever.Not like something stopping them.Just as long as they rate it age appropiate and all.
absolutely
yes.
One word (well, actually more than one, if you decide to count all these other words): security. Any little thing like a school mascott, what cool places you visited, or weather can give someone an idea about where you live. You never know who you’re talking to. Friends can have Xangas, too, so it’s probably not a good idea to talk about friends too much. Creepy people can try to find your friends’ blogs, and ask them about you, if they want. I read the idea in a magazene that you should only use the first initial of a friend’s name, or something like that. I would recommend that strongly.
Other than security, someone you know could read your blogs. I wouldn’t recommend putting in lots of personal information, for that purpose, either.
No. If you are reading a blog on xanga and something comes up in the blog that you really don’t want to read about, don’t read it! It’s that simple.
-KrIsTiN-
its a way of connecting with people that might have the same problem
by the way…
i hired three protitutes last night because my wife hates me, but ya know its her time of the month and my kids are freaks!
just thought that i’d throw that in for the fun of it
I think our generations tend to be more open as a whole in life, as well as online. I dont believe in TMI, EVER.
Yeah, online journals and such always have some TMI.
Yes. It’s like walking up on a pile of human crap on the side walk. Sure I can side step it but that’s not the point. It’s that one would crap on the side walk in the first place. Even dogs prefer the grass. It’s lower than an animal to try to impress some one by crapping on the side walk and it’s the same with TMI.
Yes, I think there can be TMI; but it is mostly on a personal level. We post what we are comfortable with, and probably at the same level we would use with our friends. But xanga can be a safer environment for these posts. Afterall people can remain anonymous if they choose. Then again, we may sometimes post TMI with the specific intent of getting feedback without exposing ourselves to people closer to home.
Hmm well it depends on the person talking..because its nice to be able to blab about whatever is going in your life and get an opinion or reaction from total strangers that if you were on the street with friend talking these people who overhear your conversation would just think things and not say them to you..also there is a comfort level when you type on the cpu..
Nope
Hello Sir, I just turned 13 this month. Most children my age here in the Philippines have online journals, but we don’t usually visit sites we don’t know. Mostly we visit friends’ sites. We read each others blog, mostly about school activities and crushes, but never about sex; and post comments. Maybe for some, TMI is okay. Sir, please do visit my site and see what I mean. It’ll be a great honor seeing comment coming from you. Thanks.
Whatever, if someone is comfortable sharing all that information, far be it from me to tell them not to.
Absolutely.
no. the person writes what they feel, and they no other peole will be reading it. it’s just like an older sister leaving her diary on her little brothers bed. their gonna read it, so write what you want them to know.
jahhhh
Not, not really. I mean, if you don’t want to read it, then don’t.
apparently
of course. but i don’t think pmsing has to do with it.
I think it’s so impersonal on Xanga, cause it could literally be any one’s journal you’re reading. So probably not.
I’ve never really thought about it that much before…Maybe I should consider it. lol.
Hey, my name is Stephan. You don’t know me, but I’m taking a survey. Do you believe in ghosts? Have you ever had a brush with the supernatural or experienced unexplained phenomena? Please comment me back.
-Stephan
well not really… if people feel that they need to write something then they should… If other people think thats too much then they shouldn’t read it… simple as that.
weell… yes, if it really is too much info
Yes
yes
No. It’s a personal journal that happens to be online. I write for myself, not for others. Others choose to read it or choose not to, but it’s not like I’m telling you in person so you have no choice but to listen.
Not at all. Sharing information is the whole point of having a blog.
I put that I was PMSing!
I don’t think that you can share too much. Hell, it’s my xanga, I can put what I want. If people don’t want to read it them they shouldn’t. End of story.
its a journal… if ppl want others to have access to information that personal… so be it… if someone doesnt want to read someone elses JOURNAL… then they shouldnt… granted you can make the post private… but if you dont really care… then no… ppl should just keep in mind that ANYONE can read it… a boss, an ex boyfriends mother, a young child, a rapist, a parent… so personally i dont put all my bearings out there… but if someone is comfortable with it… so what
Yes indeed.
No way. Someone, somewhere loves hearing about my PMS or my marriage issues. At least I hope so…
Perhaps.

Nope.
Yes, but my TMI level is probably different from yours. If a post of mine ever, EVER crosses into even serious, or something I wouldn’t want my mom to see, I “protected” it. The people on my protected list I absolutely trust, so in that situation, no. But a public post containing all that? That’s just a stalker waiting to happen.
Nah. Have you been to the Church of Fat? Mmm.
No, if you don’t want to read it, don’t.
Yes, it’s all over!
