    Default I'm guilty of a few mouse-click FAILS

    How embarrassing! Here I am, scrolling down the main page of the board...see a title to a thread, click...

    ...and go straight to the profile page of a poster instead of the thread. (>insert red faced emoticon here<)

    Sometimes I have accidentally clicked onto the name of a married man...

    I'm new here, and y'all don't "know" me very well yet, so I thought I had better let you know it was not intentional!

    Just because you look at someone's profile does not mean you are looking for a date. Believe me, we've had "those" types here before. They don't last long as they get bored and move along. Also, I don't think any one ever minds a bit of clean, old fashioned, flirting if it's just done in fun.
    Why do I live in Alaska? Because I can.

    Hey, flirt all you want. By now we're like the old dog on the porch. We love the attention and will even bark a few times if you need us to but don't expect us to chase off any burglars. Wait...what were we talking about?

    Hey youngen, your not the only one who does that. My big fingers on this I-Pad does it quite often, even just typing. I sure wouldn't worry about it.

    Every time an older person dies, its like burning a full set of encyclopedias that will never be published again. So, if you ever want to learn more of anything, just find a old tradesman and hang out with him and then when he passes on, not the full set will burn, you'll have parts of it to pass on to others.

    I didn't realize clicking on a profile was a proposal of marriage...
    Yikes.

    No worries....just figure you are a sweet talker.

    If you didn't want people to know...you didn't put it on the profile in the first place.

    Often we click on profiles before answering the questions of a new member just to see where they are located, possibly their age and how much experience they have.

    I might alter my answer, or my sarcasm level, based on the information in the profile.

    The worst thing to see on the profile page is "nothing", no information at all. In that situation one is answering a to a blank slate, which might be insulting, giving an elementary answer to an experienced camper of a complicated answer to a newbie.

    I never considered checking a profile here as stalking.

    Neither have I considered it gathering intelligence for taking over the world come SHTF. Some of the "end of the world" types that come here do not want to even list what country they are in, much less the region or state they are in, and geography is often necessary for accurate answers to questions about clothing or equipment.

    If the flirting/harassment ever gets out of hand send Rick or Crash a PM. They are pretty good at bashing the hooligans that occasionally show up.

    You mean...I can stalk all I want??

    You're NEXT, Crashdive!!!!!

    As you can see, I'm not exactly savvy to online forum etiquette (I've been in the woods too long?)

    But I DO know that clicking onto a profile does not automatically mean I wanna date or fool around...sheesh! And I do know how to flirt shamelessly, but you can bet that I will never--even jokingly--flirt with a married guy. (Can you imagine how uncomfortable he and the Missus would feel if she happened to walk into the room and saw such shenanigins? I know this wouldn't bother some, but it could bother others.)

    And, it's not like I was responding to anyone's post and needed to check out a profile before posting...

    Naw, my concern was only out of respect, is all. I guess I was born 100 years too late?

    Now that y'all know me a little better, I will just carry on like the crazy wildwoman that I am.

    (My brother calls me Grizzlyette Adams like it's a bad thing... Silly boy.)

    As a moderator I can see whom has clicked on your profile. When I ran the IP addresses a lot of them ended with .gov and had all kinds of letter in front of them. Letters like FBI, CIA, ATF, etc.
