This.

Also, I try to be silent or vague about any non-essential details.

I live in LA and always change the details... Including where I live

I love when a poster says "he/she doesn't read DCUM because we don't live in the area." If the OP found the site, what's to say the subject of the post didn't too?

Because I live 2000 miles from DC.

I'm not in the area anymore but it's nice to have a forum where you can anonymously post on a wide variety of topics. So if the majority is actually in the DC area my chances of "crossing paths" are slim.

Don't know, don't care. Then again, if I'm posting about it here I've either said it to your face already, or would (if I decided I cared enough), and you already know how That Betch feels about you.

I have once or twice posted about specific people but not mentioning anything about them which is specific (within the context of an existing thread started by someone else) in the hope that they see it. Just to vent. I'm sure they never did though.

I don't know. I posted something negative about mlm last week. Didn't start the post. Like one thing on page 7. No specifics.

Later that same day, I saw two FB posts from friends -- one gently posting their product--as I said I enjoy a gentle nudge from mlm. And another posted a really snarky mysterious post about working hard, and at least she's not giving up.

It's at that point I decided I might be on the Truman show.

Nah...but weird.

I don't, and that's why:

1. I try to keep things more about my reaction than the other person's actions and

2. why I am glad DCUM is anonymous!

I've been on DCUM for 7 years. Never posted about a person. Of course I'm "nicer" than many posters on here. But you shouldn't buy into the concept that everyone here is gossipy or a total snark.

Generally we have a pretty good idea of who reads DCUM or not, and if there's a doubt, we can always change a few details.

Signed, DCUM

Like when you give specifics- like the friend who got a nose job in croatia. Do you ever worry about being called out for bitching about someone on here?
