I've noticed them.
Okay- well, I'm decent. I wasn't trying to bludgeon this girl- and did not know it had been discussed. Just, AGAIN, was wondering thoughts and who believed what.

Are you sad our Oaks are gone, or do you feel ambiguous towards the whole thing?

Were my first answers not good enough?
I think they're great when handled responsibly. I think there are good content on some and some without.
But I think there needs to be some good ground rules protecting people or they can get out of hand.

Not sad, but I feel bad.

I don't have a reason to suspect she's fake. She might be though. Who knows.

Oh your first answers were great and appreciated. I just have a lot of questions.

Not even the fact that nobody in Fulton, MS claims to know her?

Well, I truly have to get back to studying so I don't fail out of school, so those will have to suffice.
Toodles.
Toodles.

Is toodles another word for goodbye, or are you hitting on me?

This will always be an issue. Anonymity allows for the baser instincts of people to hold sway.
BTW, what's 'catfishing'...besides, well, fishing for a catfish?

Catfishing is when one person makes themselves a fake identity on the internet- usually on Facebook, etc. They pick out pictures of attractive people and talk to others online and on the phone and establish relationships.
But they never want to meet you. Because then they will be outted.
It's done for many reasons- usually dating, but some serial killers have used it. And apparently you can use it recruiting.

Small jab on the way out

Okay. Just from the OP intro I figured it meant someone pretending to be a pretty young thing to entice young recruits....thanks.
Will the Te'o debacle curb gullibility?
Probably not, young men have one over-arching desire...and reality has little to do with it.

Yes, I have a feeling you and I are going down this path. I really hope we can get past all the fishing and just get down to being good friends.

It's used a bit by pedophiles and is actually a parents worst nightmare.

Yes, that's basically it.
While "not a big deal", I kind of think it is. It's not "serious" in this instance, but it can be.
As far as recruiting... kids shouldn't talk to someone they don't know, but what if that's a guy they're talking to? Or some 50 year old woman? Just weird. Gross if it's the guy.
