avatars to use for your profile pics

i literally had a guy finding me online and following me around the internet. every chat place i went to. i finally quit using my real name and real photo altogether. he wasn't letting it go. another one was a sexual predator. i'm not taking that chance again. FOR ANYONE!
 

look out!!!

I also wasn't aware at the time that I had to post this in my diary in order to avoid all this nonsense. Anyway...it's over. Moving on. And no more worries about any avatars being posted in here by me.

When ever I get a new picture I get it from images on the computer. Most times they are called avatars so whoever posted them knows they can be used by anyone as their own avatar.Another thing is this is a senior forum and none of my avatars look like a senior so I am not fooling anyone in here.

I don't know how secure the internet is so I put up other peoples pictures for my avatar.If someone new would come on that knew me then they would see some of the private things I post about my life that would not be any of their business. What if I put in something about a person and they would know I meant them it would cause more problems for me. For instance I've made some comments about my daughters MIL,that I wouldn't want her to see because she gives my daughter and her son enough problems. So why give her more reason to annoy them.

This is the reason why my avatar is either a dingo or a wombat. Either represents something about me but I am wary of posting personal photos of myself or members of my family in case I pick up a malignant troll who might want to do damage to me by harrassing my family. For the same reason I never use any of their names, just generic terms like Hubby, grandson, sister etc.

We all have our own reasons for selecting our usernames and avatars and I have explained mine several times since I joined this forum. There is no reason to get upset over how, why or what when it comes to avatars.
