I've always been private about my real life, however I never hesitated posting about my life if the topic came up and I could provide some sort of relatable information.
I posted when I became a licensed Professional Engineer. I post about past relationships.
I think it's always on how you post it and how you handle it.
No offense Prison Mike, knowing what I know of SHH, I don't want to say you did something to provoke people but yeah......
I posted here long enough to know, if you post something personal and have an attitude with responses, you are going to have to handle a s' storm.
However, I'm sure that was a while ago and SHH has become more child friendly as well as getting rid of most of the ruthless posters.
