That's how stereotypes and prejudice form. LOL, When one does it, they all do it?!? Now, I know i can be a D#(k at times on gc, but to be honest, I do it all in fun, but in the same sense, i don't sit there iming random girls from gc asking them if they do anal?!?! I talk to a select few ppl on gc, and I like it like that. Not everyone on gc is a weirdo, adn let's not forget that there are many ppl that just visit the boards as guests, obtaining info is fairly easy.

Damasa - I don't think I've ever said anything to imply that I think every guy on GC is a jerk/freak/A*hole. If I thought every guy on this board was a psycho, I can guarantee that I wouldn't be here - that's pretty clear. Come to think of it, I don't think anyone has ever said that all GC guys are creeps! In fact, I've met some very cool people on this board - both men and women. The reason I posted was to say that I don't think the creepy messages are as seldom an occurrence as some people here seem to think. It's like - just because it's never happened to them, they don't believe what others are saying, and I think that's pretty crappy. That's the same problem I had with a lot of people when the Kevin thing was happening. It was unbelievable. I can say, with few exceptions, that the men who are the problems are NOT the GC regulars that we all know. From what I know, it's usually someone random who comes to this site, gets information, and then IM's people. I definitely think people should be more careful with their information - posting pictures, schools, emails, chapter names, etc. - unfortunately if that info gets in the wrong hands, bad bad things can happen. Just my 2 cents...
