On a forum I used to frequent there was a thread about things you never forgave your parents for. A female user posted her first name Jacinta as the thing she never forgave her parents for. I looked at her user name. It was a common slang shortening of a particular surname. I was curious how far I could get with the name and got a linkedin profile for a profession that matched the speciality forum she posted heavily in elsewhere on the site confirming her name, profession and place of work. Didn’t dig for any more details but DM’d her on the forum to advise her to remove that post with her first name as someone with motives darker than my simple curiousity could also easily work out who she was. Told her this was gentle advice from a fellow forum user with no creepy motives and that I’d never contact her about it or anything again. She said thanks and a few other things that still left me with the sense that she thought I was some creepy weirdo!! I was doing you a favour dear!!
