Provided no names are given - not yours or theirs. - I don't think it's a problem.
I'd say post as anonymously as possible.

I have no idea what he considers privileged information. Things that I wouldnt care about for instance...telling someone my birth year, he holds onto as trade secrets. He is a good dear friend. I guess I should just let it be.

I wouldn'y worry about it No Unless my real name was used and something I told in strict confidence was told. Other then that I just wouldn't care.

IF you're in doubt, you might best not say a thing.
But IF you want to find help, you have to be able to inquire without giving his name, where he lives, things like that.
Also, it helps to not have your own photo up, too.
Never use words that you would in person with him. IF he knew you were here and was blah blah about this and that
at the local car hop, on this night and you were wearing blah blah... you see what I mean?
Most people don't know each other online. Some can get a rough sense of the person they chat with, provided that
person is honest and forthright. Put lies in there, and you muck everything up.
A DOB is no different than a date x event happened. It's ambiguous. - You might find someone you can talk to in private.
That may be a better solution, for you. Just keep proper names anonymous and other descriptive details vague.
Don't say "My boyfriend (name) works for X company in x town in x state and blah blah" - You might say he's "auto mechanic"
working for a dealer or (self-employed) or what have you if the discussion calls for that type of detail, but don't past that, especially on an open forum. - IF you came out and said "Hi my name is Shalonda, and I am a Scorpio woman in love with a Virgo - I gave head to a another man on a train and my Virgo is upset about it.... blah blah and he just won't leave me alone. He thinks I have BPD!!! " - you might have a problem as we already heard Virgo's story about you. You just told us your name.

You see where I am going with that?

my aries ex 'found' me on dxp years ago. it's wasn't pretty lol....you can imagine the threads there were about him..i recall one titled 'silly ridiculous aries man'. omg...the shame(lessness). dxp was my venting ground and so he read a whole lot more than he bargained for.

at least the truth was out, lol!!!

oh yeah....didn't help that i had my real name as my username along with my picture. that's not a great idea if you really want to be anonymous.
