Has your online life and real life ever collided in a

No, it hasn't-but I've mostly been a lurker at 2Peas and other sites I visit. It would freak me out if it happened, though.

No but the person who called Mrs T 's school and told her principal she was online during class time freaked me out. People can be cruel and way too invested in a msg board.

no in fact the opposite. It was nice to make some friends IR.

No, not in any way like that. I'm pretty open on-line, just like I am with people IRL. I've met a lot of my on-line friend in real life, and really enjoyed it! Many of them have become very close friends.

No, but that's why I don't post much and try to include very limited personal information. I think maybe 4 peas even know my first name.

No.

Years ago I had my picture, part of my name and location in my prior user I'd at the pod. Someone contacted a peas employer that was before Mrs. T, that was when I discovered the place had a dark side and the less I posted about my personal life the safer it would be. There have been posts to follow peas on Facebook or Pinterest but I thought that would be a mistake.

Actually have met people online I have become friends with IRL.

Many years ago, I overshared about some distressing personal issues I was going through. A couple of ladies went a little overboard in their attempt to 'help' me.

I have since been very, very careful about what I put out on the interwebs.

I'm ... not sure this counts.

Fifteen years ago, on the AOL travel message boards, a bunch of people became friends while the rules of posting on those boards were changing. A lot of us felt we were being unfairly censored. We took our concerns off the main board and into an email round robin.

That first group splintered.

Then the second group splintered.

Then the third group -- which seemed on the surface to be moderately stable - began planning a "meet" at our preferred travel destination.

I was to be sharing a room with two people.

One of those two people reserved the room we were to be sharing.

When I sent my money in, I sent it directly to the hotel.

Then .... things started to deteriorate. I cannot adequately describe it, but one of our mutual friends emailed me privately, "I think she's an alcoholic."

Stuff got weird.

A couple of weeks before our travel date, the person in whose name the room was reserved asked if she could bring her children with her to the meet.

I called the hotel and asked for a refund. The hotel rep told me that I could not have my money back because the room was in someone else's name.. We're talking about a sum in excess of $1800.

All I could do was imagine that one day I would get my money back. In the meantime, I made alternate arrangements for a different hotel with a different hotel who was not insane/alcoholic/whatever. I told the original roommate/scammer/crazy person/alcoholic, "No, I want my money back; the fact that you proposed bringing a minor to an event where adults are clearly planning to engage in adult activities like wine tastings is evidence that you are crazy."

She still came to the event. One night, she returned my deposit to me in cash, counting it out into my hand in a crowded hotel bar. I still consider myself lucky that I did not get robbed that night thanks to that crazy lady.

A couple of years later, I heard she went through AA. She never did the step where she called me up and apologized for all the anguish she caused me, so...

Nope but no one here know my real name or any of my family members names. They know where I work but there are over 3000+ employees. Yeah good luck. Lol. I keep safe because there are loons out there

No it hasn't. And honestly, if it ever did I would absolutely be done here. The fun I have here is not worth risking my and my families safety and security.

No it hasn't but I don't share a lot of personal info online.

 I don't give a whole lot away about myself online.

It's been several years now, but on the old 2Peas I posted one of those, "what would you do/would you be offended/how would you respond" type posts. I only included my relationship to the person, but no name. Apparently someone, and I still don't know to this day who it was, had figured out who I was (and I can only guess they made the connection through some layouts I had posted in the gallery)and felt the need to pass the information along to the person I was having the in-real-life issue with.
