Think before you climb on board

Back a few months I was forced to change my log on name here. This occurred because I visited another Thread board and found some modified entries I had made. I first thought it strange I could not remember making the changes. These changes took safetalkers normal think before you act tone and gave them direction and actions I would never use.
I quickly changed my passwords on every site I was on, and wiped my hard drive, and reinstalled my OS. I checked all of my storage disks, and just in case wiped half of them. I assumed I had been visited by the sneak fairies at NSA or DHS.
Three days later I received an email from Facebook asking that I reset my password since they had DETECTED someone else using my account! When I attempted to do this using my new system on my back-door email account I was told that Face book only recognizes "Real Name" email accounts? I had been receiving my email there for years before and Face Book had used it as my email account before. THEY HAD FOUND ME!
I am mentioning this because I went on 6 different Blog sites last week, and in each case they required you to have a Facebook login to post there. I have to assume that this is to make the Data storage easier over at NSA.
I currently only check my email with my TOR browser up and running. I have never kept any emails on my system or on their servers. I read it. If I need it I print it to PDF for storage on my desktop till it gets paper or thumb drive. Then it gets deleted and the system rebooted.
I have been bumped here three or four times a week because the server doesn't understand how I can visit from such differing places. I get pissed, but understand.
I am passing this info on so all can do their own diligence and make decisions on what they will or won't put up with.
I will never again have a Face Book account, either in my name, or a fake name. It provides too much tracking for my paranoid tendencies.
This may explain the high incidence of lurkers and trolls you admins see.
Just a heads up for your dilligence.
