[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A while back an unpleasant coworker posted nasty things about me on this site. She did not describe me directly but instead bashed people with my particular living situation/lifestyle. The writing style and timing were dead giveaways. [/quote]

See, examples like this are the ones where I think you're probably wrong. Because DCUM is full of people complaining about certain living situations/lifestyles. Whether divorced, happily married, or unhappily married, whether SAHM or working mom or PT mom or WAH mom, whether rich or middle class or struggling. Someone on here will target these groups randomly because this is a judgmental, insecure group.

And I never believe the "writing style" arguments either. You're not a detective. Lots of people sound the same on paper -- most people do not have very unique or identifiable writing styles.

I think you are just paranoid. Your unpleasant coworker might hate you and say nasty things behind your back, but you are almost definitely projecting onto a stranger here.

Unless someone references identifying info or a specific situation, I don't think you can ever assume you know who the writer is. Just saying "ugh, I can't stand professional women who marry well and then quit their jobs to SAHM" is way to broad.[/quote]

NP. I am serious when I say there’s a couple posters who’ve I’ve 100% identified IRL by name. They post long life stories each time they post. [b]I found some of their Instagram and LinkedIn accounts too[/b]. [/quote]

That's not creepy at all.  :shock: [/quote]

We all do it.[/quote]
