@freedom45 So, does that mean you do hide them or you don't?

@Zaphod42 ya know!? smh!

@Mondayschild Hiding friends makes sense, but the replies are there, in the open forum. Hiding them from someone checking out the persons profile seems wrong. If everything is hidden on a profile, I don't accept a pm from them. Deleted without opening. Yes. This is an anonymous site, so, what more do we need to hide?

@Serenitree I really don't have a problem opening replies. There was a terrible person getting screen shots of my replies and sending the to another friend, taking them out of context and almost ruined the friendship. I don't want that to happen again.

@Mondayschild The point is, they are still here. I could take screenshots of your replies every time I see one. I could keep a file of them, if I was crazy and mean enough to do it, I wouldn't need the list to find them.

My only reason for ever checking a person's replies, is if I get a message, and we haven't interacted before, I try to learn a bit about them before opening the message. If their profile is completely secretive, I delete the message.

@SW-User I have. I had to delete my account on EP. Change my username and get a different email address. The man was nuts. But, the replies you're hiding are out there. On the open forum. They are always popping up when people are here. I see you a lot. I never checked your profile. I wouldn't need to. If I wanted to stalk you, I'd just have to hang out here.

@Serenitree I understand that!? The open forum is always moving..a screenshot of all your replies ever is making it easy for them. FK that and FK them.

@SW-User Okay. That's your right.

@Fallflower If someone begins stalking all your replies, you know you've met a kook! So you block the fool. If they make a second account and do the same thing, you report and block. I refuse to hide behind a screen when I'm already anonymous. I don't do anything I'm ashamed of, so I I don't feel a need to be extra secretive.

@Serenitree agreed. Though I have never been stalked so I don’t know how traumatizing it can be. So I can see why someone would not want to deal with it at all. But I’m with ya, being secretive on here is kind of missing the point.

@Fallflower And you can only hide the list. Not the actual replies.
