As far as personal facts, if you don't want them mentioned on thread, don't present them there. Or at least when you mention them give a caveat. But anything I put in a regular post has cleared copywriting as far as I'm concerned. Now if there is a thread in the "off topic" section that is clearly supposed to be a "among friends" issue, that's another thing. But you won't catch me online talking about that rash on my butt that I can't get rid of. Or my multiple bankruptcies.
