Not in the least bit true, and I'm thankful to say that 95% of people I talk to or engage with online are completely normal, and the others - well I've got a good enough sense of humour to see them as a bit of a joke. Although there is a distinct difference between some cheeky/flirty banter that is occasionally fun, and the couple of oddballs who cross the line, and way too soon too! Still I'd always stress being careful about details - don't disclose your location, work address or number to anyone potentially 'unhinged'. I've known a couple of very odd guys turn a bit nasty when I didn't return their conversation...so keep your distance, just in case I keep a general rule that I don't say/tell anything to anyone online, professionally speaking or not, that I wouldn't be happy telling them in 'real life'. Good rule :-) it’s obviously the (supposed) anonymity of being online – I’ve had many experiences like that, without any encouragement on my part – trust me, I know enough weirdos as it is LOL, I don’t need to add any more! ;-)
