Missing the point. The point is, why was I the first one to ask these questions in this thread? The point is that people are way too free with their "information" around here, and it directly leads to stupid st happening...this place isn't real...no one here is real...yet people will blindly give out hobby info to them without thought to consequences...

Well WakeUp,
AS for the MM portion....
I didn't miss your point at all... I just don't happen to agree with it. As pointed out by Mojo.... no one is bound by anything to fill out the survey. Your assumption that no one had thought about the possibilities of the info being used for evil purposes, I find to be a bit presumptuous.
You sound as though most on this board are too dumb and you were the only one smart enough to ask the question. I don't believe you are... However... you are the only one to ask it in the thread dear sir. So... Now it's out there so anyone not thinking on their own can read your input and read mine and decide.
My thought is.....
Most ask themselves and then made
THEIR decision. Many know who I am and know what I do and made
THEIR decision. Other realize that by just being on this board there are at risk to some degree, so they made
THEIR decision. And then there are the folks that like to take threads in the wrong direction or are just paranoid.
AS FOR WHATS REAL.....
I am a
REAL person who earns a
REAL living in a
REAL business that puts
REAL food on the table and helps to pay
REAL bills for
REAL people. The money spent in this industry is very
REAL. The info asked for is of
REAL concern to many Providers and apparently many Hobbyist
REALLY want the hobby to be an experience that is good.
Can bad things happen in and around this industry, Well yes...But answering an anonymous survey is no more unsafe than being on this board in the first place. If big brother wants ya...he's gonna get ya. Being paranoid about it doesn't change that. If the answers I get from some aren't
REAL then so be it.... but many answer will be
REAL. I believe those will be of
REAL benefit to many, both hobbyist and provider.
I understand the Hobby is a sub culture devoted to hiding most hobbyist's discreet but
REAL lives. I have no desire to be indiscreet or use the knowledge gain for evil or to cause pain or suffering to anyone.
Certainly there are numerous pretenders on this board and there are definitely folks with 2 and 3 handles and everyone is hiding behind something other than their birth name, but it doesn't make ALL of us NOT
REAL, or this business not a
REAL business. The men who spend their money spend
REAL money that they make at their
REAL jobs. They don't won't to
PRETEND to have a nice time when they visit someone they want to have a
REAL good time.
While I understand the need for discretion due to how some judge others and what many providers & hobbyist have at stake, I also believe in many ways the secrecy is a double edge sword in this industry. It is what keeps many of us at risk (Both hobbyist and provider alike) and yet it is what makes for the need for a provider hobbyist connection in the first place. But you don't have to be indiscreet to be
REAL.
Lastly the info asked for is their opinions and not
"THEIR INFORMATION"....Your statement....
"The point is that people are way too free with their "information" around here, " The key word is this is
THEIR
For those who may not know me... Tia Thompson or Magnific Media....I gave info about who I am and what I am doing above and there is plenty on my site....
That said....truthfully paranoia is just that... and cannot be reasoned with. If anyone doesn't wish to answer the survey then don't. I am only trying to educate providers as the the general trends and likes and dislikes of this industry's customers.
all the best,
Tia Thompson...
AS FOR THE LONDON COMMENT>>>>??????????????????? ??feels like a thread jacking in the making.
I know who MagMedia is....
