    I don't chat with people on here anymore.......they are crazy.

    You chatted with me! Lol
    I did compliment you but I don't think we actually spoke but like 2 messages lol. Chatting to me is more back and forward on topics.

    Lol, reminds me of another sitch where some girl claimed you guys were chatting. Interesting! ;)

    The husband of a friend of mine spent years creating and administrating several "troll" accounts on FB and other social media platforms. He would literally spend the evenings logged on to various sites deliberately creating controversy just to see the chat forums blow up. At one point she said he had seven or eight alter egos going at a time in one room and had them arguing with each other to create more "noise" in the forum. Given that he had two young teenage sons and a wife and a full time job and a life of other responsibilities, I never understood why he bothered or how he found the time. People can be really weird.

    Luckily I am sporadically online I just don't have time to develop any issues, let alone keep chats and such going.

    I see that here at times as a way for a person to gain popularity. They create several accounts and constantly respond to their main account so they seem like the person to know. Ends up being part of the larger clique here.

    Sometimes one has to make a new account cause they've gotten blocked and they were done talking to that person who blocked them yet. Ya know?

    Yep there's tons of fake ~ troll accts on here, like any social media.
    When i first started i accepted a request from a young girl like 22? Or around that age. She instantly messaged me and i would chat with her often . She said she didnt have a mother so i felt sorry for her. Well after months and months i started to notice shady comments and she was constantly messaging me . Like 25 messges in a few day time frame. So i just stopped acknowledging her at all.
    I thought i was careful never to tell anyone my exact location or name of my job. But i wasnt careful enough. Once we where talking about different types of gyms. I mentioned that i went to the only large gym in my area because it was the only one with a large weight floor , pool, spa and so on. My profile says the area i live in. So with that information, paired with the fact that i once mentioned my gym was close to a grocery store, "she " was able to figure out what gym i went to.
    AND GUESS WHAT....IT WASNT A SHE !! SURPRISED? ?!!! LOL
    Yep some creepy dude showed up at my gym and said, its me chloe951 ! So yeah, there's creepers on here for sure. Since then im careful what i say and who i accept on here. Ive since moved so There's no way I'll ever mention any little details like i did before. Im much more guarded now

    ^^^^ This is exactly why I closed my account that I have been on since Jan. 2011. Be careful folks, the internet is a very dangerous place.
    says the boobs?

    In for talking Oracle boob wisdom.

    Are you trying to say I'm some sort of pervert? Cause if you are, I resemble that remark.

    I'm saying you pay attention to solid wisdom, no matter the source. ; )

    I created this fake account just to have friends, even if it is only on-line. I'm really a 36 year old, unemployed IT worker living in my parents' basement.

    I'm here a few years. There are definitely trolls but I didn't realize they would track you down physically. That's scary.

    You actually don't laugh "in their face." You laugh at your computer screen.

    Even some real people on here are creepers... :p

    Long, long time ago I was in an AOL chatroom and some guy said he was from my area and was trying to talk to me. Said he wanted to meet up at the mall I lived by, he "worked there". Obviously said no. A couple days later on the news guy assaulted an underage girl that he met online behind the same mall. Showed the pictures he was using online, yup, same guy. It was big news back then cause online socializing was just starting.
