Yes and No.

From previous posts from @kyoto49 we are given to belive that the poster is female.

However, unless someone knows the @kyoto49 in real life and can verify then how can anyone be sure?

People do seem to be surprised that the poster is female.

I'm certain that in general section there is a post from @Admin about anonymity. You'd do well to read it.

Oh dear here we go yet again.

Sigh. Yawn.

Regarding anonymity. I havent actually compromised you because I dont know who you are in real life.

I said that YOU in some posts give the impression that you are FEMALE.

Other people think that you are MALE

You don't do yourself any favours either way.

Thankyou for your patience, it is much appreciated, but I am beginning to despair that this council or police force will ever actually enforce any traffic regulations in Stafford. And don't even get me started on to the boyracers who parade along Greyfriars unhindered by the Police who just ignore them.

Anyone else noticed this, or am I turning in to a grumpy old woman!

Fed up from the North end.

However much information a member wishes to reveal or not reveal about themselves is entirely up to them, as per the anonymity clause. If a member of The Forum wishes certain private information to remain private, then others should respect that.

People should also bear in mind that some information may have changed since a member signed up. For example, a name may have changed, a person's gender, etc.

Can you please clarify @Admin because I am confused.

So if a forum member themselves discloses what sex they are in a post, for example saying something along the lines of "I am a mother" leading one to deduce that the person is Female, we, are NEVER allowed to refer to that fact in case they have changed sex and dont want anyone to know?

I peronally don't see how by mentioning something that they have referred to themselves in another post is contavening private information.

In my opinion anyone who complains about someone referring to something that they themselves have previously disclosed is guilty of a massive over reaction.

Enjoying a drop of red.
@Carole

By outing @kyoto49 as female (aided and abetted by @Grandad) you have narrowed things down to 50% of the population of Stafford and therefore, virtually given away her true identity.

Assuming 'it' lives in Stafford, of course.

Mind you if 'it' is the same in real life as 'it' is on here, then anyone who does actually know 'it' will be in no doubt whatsoever about who 'it' is.

Hope that helps :P

I think it's just in general, if someone has made it clear they don't want it mentioning, then people repeatedly insisting that they know the answer, and continuing to post things that were said "a few years ago" could feel a little harassing.

Someone may not wish their gender revealing for any number of reasons - respecting that costs nothing.

And frankly considering it was immediately followed up by a derogatory comment based on the perceived gender "Definatley female. The tone of your voice and the condescending last sentance confirmed it for me" ... well, perhaps they aren't entirely unjustified in thinking their views would be taken less seriously if someone were to think they were a female.

The person had NOT made it clear at any point that they didn't want it mentioning. They have now, but not at the point where the comments were made.

On another point, while respecting someones wishes costs nothing, that particular person might also like to respect others and not verbally abuse/get personal with vile language which has happened on occasion.

I cant respect anyone who does that to others.
I also cant respect anyone that can dish it out to other people but cant take it back.

I can see what has happened here. The person didnt like the way that things were going, got into a tantrum and went running off to tell tales to teacher. If everyone that had been on the recieving end of one his/her nasty asides had reported it to Admin then things might be a little different.

But most of us are grown ups and just shrug it off and move on.
