I really dislike this option. It means that material I posted here, thinking it was going to my Christian on-line friends, would be visible to all kinds of other people. I have a distinctive writing style that a lot of people recognize, and they do not need to know my prayer requests, nor my politics or theology.
Because even if you post someone else's post, they can come and look at what I posted. Strangely enough, I find there are many coincidences in life. The internet is a small place, relatively speaking, and it is amazing how often things can be linked.
There is nothing I am particularly embarrassed about in my posts, but I would like them to remain where I posted them, not linked and posted to FB or Twitter, and then linked again and again. I know this forum is public, and if people come here and read my posts, that is one thing. But to have them moved to another place, I would have to completely object to that invasion of my privacy.

Yes, I know this, of course. BUT, how will they know my name to google if they do not come here, first? So if my screen name appears in FB/Twitter, they will have to skip that step of coming here. Plus, it can be replicated over and over, without me even knowing it has been put on a different site.
I realize that my posts can be a screen shot, or copied and pasted. BUT, again, that is a lot more complex of an option, than just pressing a FB button, and there it is on someone else's profile. I have been through this issue in another forum (not Christian) we beat it to death. Most were very against the whole idea, which had already been done, without consulting the members of the Forum.
