    Or would you want him/her to?

    Does it kind of defeat the whole point of Boards?

    Good god no! If they did they'd know I used to dress up in my sister's tennis skirts! Don't know how I would go about trying to explain that.

    Whoops!

    Now that he knows, would you not feel you have to be careful about posting and may not be able to express yourself as you would beforehand?

    It seems a bit odd that a couple would know each others usernames and be online at the same time posting though.

    What's with all these fecking partner threads that keep popping up?

    Is it a pre-requisite to have a partner to post on After Hours these days? :mad:

    In my humble single opinion, it would be a dangerous game to play. It would be like delving into someone's diary, you'll only find out stuff you don't want to know.

    The second question makes me wonder what you think the whole point of Boards is.

    Not really. Indeed, some people use their real names as their usernames, or at least a one that leaves them somewhat identifiable to people that know them.

    I'd probably laugh, to be honest, if it happened my man. :P If he's being bullied on the interwebz, he's well able to fight his own battles, as am I!

    Me and my guy seem to read/post in the same threads (like this one!) all the time. It's not on purpose, we don't stalk each other, it just happens that way. It's no big deal ... sometimes I agree with him, sometimes I don't. No different than if we were both in conversation with a group of people in the pub or whatever.

    Or if he's a mod he could always ban them.

    Himself was looking over my shoulder & asked "so are you Mink?". Can't lie now can I. So he knows.

    I don't post anything he doesn't already know but yeah I don't completely like that he has access to all the posts I've ever written, I'm sure a lot of them are very embarrassing & he could rip the piss out of me.

    I'd be inclined to think that you should be able to talk to your partner about stuff anyway, so there should be no need to hide anything from them in the first place. Unless theres something specific you mean?

    I remember boards was all about people in their underwear making empty threats that they'd never act upon in real life.

    Good times

    Hmmm... ah I'd probably tell them if I was drunk. If I posted something about them it would probably be something I would have said to their face already... when I was drunk. Dang, I've no secrets.

    Of course you are right, you should be able to talk to your partner about stuff.

    I don't have anything specific in mind, just that maybe your identity should be private and kept that way.

    OK, I'm sounding a bit weird myself now...
