I was contemplating entering the Kiting Grand Prix until I noticed Choicey was happily putting all of these peoples real names on the WWW !!!

Now just where did he say he was going to do that ?

I'm sure glad I didnt reply. And charity event or not, I'm wondering why would I enter if my real name is going to be published on the WWW without my consent - JUST FOR ENTERING THE COMP!!!!!

Gimme a break.

So what's the deal Groper? I've got a name and it's floating around the web cause of the type of work I do. Plus I'm listed in the white pages - which is on the web. It's pretty hard to avoid if your out there doing stuff.

Should I be worried about this? I'm real cautious about letting out any other info

The only real privacy left in this world is that of the secret society - where we never let our identities be known. [}:)] [}:)]

I spoke to Choicey about this last week, and he's confirmed that all people are aware their name will be listed, and that is why some have chosen just first names etc.

If you want to enter, please do proceed as it's a charitable event, and let Choicey know you want to be known as "Sandgroper" and your real name is not listed.

Its not about protecting what you have to hide, its about the abuse of personal information for malicious purposes.

I'm not going to write an essay - go do your own research on identity fraud - when you've educated yourself then you'll know why you just dont put your real name and personal details out here on the global theatre if you dont have to. Not for any reason. None.

And yeah, I started this thread cos my original post got deleted/moderated for being off topic. So now it's totally on topic

Unless your personal details are posted along with your name, then it's not really an issue. So I would object if someone put my address and phone number up.

Unless, you don't want to be identified because your employer has a prejudice against kiters and trawls Seabreeze to see if anyone is on here so he can fire your ass...

easy up there

(crotchgroper may or may not have actually posted that)**


...and in fact both quotes above is Kitecrazy engaging in an act of identity fraud for a malicious purpose, becase I did not post the comment "Sandgroper said...", Kitecrazy posted it under my name.

I dont see why 17year olds should run amok on this forum while I get my posts deleted for just politely expressing my point of view.

Nothing sinister Sandy .. as I wrote to you in a PM, the topic you commented on was about the Grand Prix, and we didn't want it going off topic from promoting a charitable event to discussion of privacy issues.

Ironically, I was prepared to discuss this via Private Messages, but you want to discuss it publicly?

If you've got concerns about posts, please report them or PM me the link .. it's not possible to read & catch every single sentence. Send me a Private Email about your concerns if you like.

Amok: Out of control, especially when armed and dangerous; In a frenzy of violence, or on a killing spree; berserk.

This could have all been simply resolved by a quick call to choicey expressing your interest and saying to him that you would rather your real name be kept off the www.

So that explains why Poor Relative never gets censored - its actually Laurie. Wow.

And if I use my DODO mobile ADSL with dynamic IP address for one identity and my fxed IP for the other, the moderators will never know!

Good one.

These forums where setup for fun.

For talking about kitesurfing and improving the sport we all enjoy.

It's a sport we do for fun - we kite, we get wet, we smile, we make new friends.

The forums are a place for sharing your thoughts with like minded people with a sport that binds us all together.

Life is too short to start calling each other names & getting all upset about a privacy issue, especially when it's been cleared with all invovled.

If you would like to enter the competition, speak to Choicey, and ask him to put your nickname in the list.

Enjoy today, for tonight we have to go to bed!

Hi Ken Lewis,
Is that your real name ? ^^^
It sounds a bit fake.
lol.
But who cares, right ?
The majority of folks on Seabreeze use a nickname.
The minority who use their real names are mostly out to make a name for themselves.
The pimps use their real names cause they need to sell themselves.
The internet is full of freakos.
If you aren't a pimp, why would you use your real name ?

I use my real name because I have nothing to hide and whatever views I express online I am prepared to back up when you meet me on the beach.

I do not use it to PIMP myself, I just have no issue with you knowing who I am or what I think. People can hide behind there usernames - thats fine its your prerogative. What I have an issue with is people who write crap on these forums under the guise of an unknown identity.

If people were asked to use their real identity they would perhaps think before writing others off or posting garbage.

I think these forums have lost there way lately, the threads veering off the sport that binds us and has become the rant board for a chosen few who constantly take topics off kiteboarding and into some argument or burning session.

it is so uninteresting.

I use my real name on my profile, and I aren't known for being Mr. Politically correct. I'm willing to stand by the stuff I say, adds more credibility. I have only ever had one account also... Gutless if your saying stuff anon....

I don't use my real name to reduce spam that's all; everyone can do what they like....it is the legacy that they leave on the net that matters.....and in the big picture who really cares because we all really just little spoiled nothings and going to die anyway.
