If a new user comes in here asking about members here on the forum say nothing, do not contact them. You do not know if they are an abusive partner trying to keep tabs on an ex, or an IRL bully trying to infiltrate the online life of their victim.

Just a little bump incase anyone needs to read it and hasn't yet.
9 times out of 10 it's probably harmless but that 1 time could cause someone a real headache so caution is the rule. Although I'd say online grifers are more likely. The kind that decide they don't like something you said online and then decide to try and trace you IRL to make trouble for you.
I don't like to cast aspersions about individuals especially ones fresh through the door with no track record, but a recent new thread sent alarm bells ringing, and I think it would be negligent if I didn't make folks aware of why.
