The original comment about the license plates was about people who post on more common public places like CL I thought? I wouldn't be so worried about Hardline personally but in all honesty shitty people lurk here too. And when it comes to my daughter I don't take chances that are easy to avoid. It would take me literally all of maybe 3 seconds to blur out a license plate using free pre-installed Windows Paint. Pretty cheap time investment considering the potential consequences.
In case you haven't noticed, I don't **** around with my family's safety. I hesitate mentioning them, even here. I'd prefer most don't even know I have a family. I don't talk about how I protect my household. I don't post pics of guns, knives, permits, or what not. I don't tell people where I live. I don't like things with my business FB page having to do with my family. I don't announce when I am going out of town. I generally try not to even mention when I am going wheeling so that people don't know that my wife and daughter will be home alone. I've never shared a single thing having to do with my family with public circles on my G+ page. I don't tell people in real life how I would defend myself if I had to. Basically, none of that **** is anyone's business. I prefer any potential assailant / wrong doer to be surprised by my capabilities. Do I trust you guys? Mostly, yes. It just isn't necessary that you know all that ****.
At Morris Mountain one time a guy came into our camp site with some of his buddies. They walked out of the dark from behind me. One of them was kind of huddling in the dark by my truck. They came to start trouble. It was about 15 of them with about 15 of us. I didn't even know who they were or what was going on at first. One of them bowed up on on of my buddies. I was sitting in my campfire chair and when they did I started formulating a plan in my mind about how I was going to knock the guy in front of me into the camp fire, grab a log and bash another one's brains in. One of my other buddies got between them and they left camp. I later found out that the guy who was huddling by my truck was actually pissing on it hoping I would see it, jump up, and start a brawl. They came to start **** over some internet beef one of my buddies had started. I guess I was a part of the thread because someone mentioned patooyee and one of my buddies pointed me out. I have no clue what they were angry about to this day or who they were. They never even mentioned the specific beef in the thread. We only figured out that it was internet BS later the next day when we heard a spectator talking about how a group of red-necks were trying to get into a fight with another group of guys over an internet thread the night before. Point is they were obviously up to no good and I was mentally preparing to kill them if I had to, and it was all over an internet beef that I didn't even know about.
Sorry, not everyone on the 4x4internet is good people.
No, stalkers aren't an online exclusive. But they seem to be an online abundance.
