Because it's too difficult to post themselves.

Expensive, too.  Plus you need to remember airholes, and make sure you don't choose UPS, 'cause those brown vans get really hot in the sun and you'll bake yourself before you get there.  The FedEX vans are mostly white, and keep a little cooler.

You will have heard about the propose merger between FedEX and UPS? It was to be called Fed-UPS.

stairway to truth! I'm an anxious stalker, been waiting for you to put up your pic for ages :(! for no apparent reason, i find the idea of smuggling myself into America from my lil island jamaica, leaving family and friends and school  most fascinating!
get on with it man!  lol

to be honest... paranoia is not a comfortable hat to wear... you're more likely to pick up a stalker walking out your door, or smiling with your neighbor, or paying your internet bill than posting a picture of yourself on a "chess" site.

maybe there is some weirdo from Antartica with a '95 processor, whose mouth waters at the notion of stalking you specifically!...  but i doubt it lol

I agree that this thread turned out to be entertaining / psychotic in many forms (including 3 of myself); however, the original question was intended to be a serious one. People continue to tell me I'm paranoid, as opposed to sincerely answering the original question!

In any case, maybe you will see my picture here someday. And that, my friends, will be the day that you know I'm fine with being stalked by anybody.

HAHAHAH

We already have your photo

Which one am I?

the left I suppose

StairwayToTruth

Is the left the right side? Or is the right the left side? Is the left right side right? Have I left the right left side on the left of the right right side? Am I right right on the wrong right of the right left or the right left on the wrong right of the right right on the left?

I didn't know that 18 year olds looked that young. I suppose my anti-aging techniques really did work.

This entire topic and thread is hysterical :) Seriously you guys are funny...

I don't think posting pictures of yourself is that creepy, but I wouldn't want to post pictures of my family. On a serious note though, if someone REALLY wants to find information about you, it isn't that hard. Facebook gets hacked every other week...

I think people just have to watch their own comments and actions, and that is all they can do. That and hope a "loony" doesn't latch onto them...

That sounds like a good thread title: Why do loonies latch on to people?Laughing

Don't get me wrong - I'm very open-minded and am not strictly against doing this. However, when you consider the fact that thousands of people (including a lot of creepy, sketchy ones) may look at your photographs and / or see your name... Well, something clicks in me to avoid any such thing. I severely doubt anything bad would happen if I posted my picture up here. But it's still very discomforting. Maybe I'm just thinking this over too much - but this is a website for CHESS, after all.

What do you guys / girls think?


Hello and welcome to the internet. You must be new.

Sometimes when I go outside I put a bag over my head so that creepy sketchy people won't be able to see (and thus stalk) me.

kco, I'm going to take a wild guess and say that you live in Perth, Australia, and if I go there knowing what you look like and what your name is, there's a chance that I will find you, especially if I'm a professional stalker. :)

 


What's creepier is all of the thousands of people you see in the streets on a daily basis know what you look like and some of them can probably guesstimate which part of the city you live in, or even follow you, you probably wouldn't notice right?

 That's a risk I'm willing to take. However, I have no need to take this risk on the Internet. :)

But hey, I've done it before. I mean, the chances of being stalked on the net are waaay lower than outside of the net based on finding just one picture. Unless you're dealing with this guy. Come on, you saw that coming.

You love me 
We're a happy family 
With a great big hug and 
A kiss from me to you 
Won't you say you love me too? 

I love you 
You love me 
We're best friends
Like friends should be 
With a great big hug 
And a kiss from me to you 
Won't you say you love me too?
