I think it's all relative. Personally I'm fairly 'public' online. The combination of being a reviewer with articles/blogs linked to my personal twitter and my previous academic role meaning my work and name/face were already linked online means I'm not too bothered about sharing here or in other places. BUT I also remember a time when as Baemax says, you were encouraged to keep your 'real' self hidden online.
Certain things like, if I were going to the theatre alone I probably wouldn't post ahead of time here, just as a general 'keep safe' precaution, that has nothing to do with people on here, just that information being on the wider internet.
All that said, it's never ok to reveal other people's details online, unless you know them well enough not to ask (by which I mean they are actually one of your best friends, even then check)

I am so far behind the times that I don't have an image of myself or the means to create one.
However, to aid identification, I can reveal that many people have commented that I look like:
in 1980s: Nigel Havers
in 1990s: Jarvis Cocker
in C21st: my father

Well, it's only temporary for me. I'll be going back to BAU shortly What never fails to astound me is the way some people have their Facebook profile open to the entire world to peruse. And the stuff they put on it! Staggering. Stay safe people!

I think some of us remember the internet at a time when we were all discouraged from revealing anything personal, our names, our towns, our jobs, our schools, anything at all that could be tracked back to us, for personal safety reasons. And others of us will have come to the internet in a time when we have been encouraged to use our real names and faces, for truth and accountability. And still others of us will be aware we're in an inbetween time, where we should be safe enough to reveal our names and faces, but at the same time should absolutely limit all other information in case it is picked up and used against us. I was definitely brought up in the "keep it secret, keep it safe" internet era, and now that I'm older, I'm perilously aware that a woman on the internet can receive quite viciously unwanted attention if she dares *gasp!* have an OPINION on something, so I won't be posting my face on here. And I fully understand why other people might not want to, but I don't think the people who are sharing are dumb, it's just all our own choices. (I do agree we should maybe limit ourselves to revealing our own personal information if we choose to, and not not revealing anyone else's without their explicit prior consent. ) Or a man...

About the privacy thing - I'm not private at all about Twitter but am about Facebook - go figure. But I don't post anything very private on either because.... The fun thing about twitter is that a couple of people from this forum who have connected with me I have discovered: one has really similar politics to me; one loves Strictly as much as I do; one walks into painted walls as I could imagine doing.

Likewise, I'm really fussy about Facebook (I was briefly a school teacher so that has something to do with it haha) but Twitter not at all. And never have I ever walked into a painted wall *drinks* ETA: Also I have not yet unleashed my Stictly love on Twitter this year. Be warned anyone who isn't Foxa in that respect

Foxa, I have the impression that we were sitting next each other at Audra's concert?? Not that we talked - I'm too shy - but I was there with two friends and you posted on the former board your seat number and I was just at your left.

I'm hearing that some of our badges arrived on peoples doorsteps this morning (who actually bought them, not just random peoples doorsteps obviously...) so watch out for fellow board members wearing one of our luxury, high fashion badges designed by Dolce & Banana at a theatre near you.
