Like where he lives? Yeah, smart, Mano.
There's a definite difference, yes. We're talking about two different things; the things he says about his personal life to press (like what I posted earlier - he probably doesn't consider that people *are* reading it) AND then the things he says in conversation or in messages, where he knows who he is actually talking to.
I hope that made some sense; it makes a bit of sense in my head.
Hopefully he'll be a little more cautious once people start leaving locks of hair in his mailbox.
Yes, then maybe he will learn.

I dunno. I think everyone handles it differently, but you have to be careful, in a literal sense. Everybody has a different comfort level with regards to how close they allow fans to get and all that, but on a very basic level, when you're in the public eye, you just shut your trap about where you live and what subway you take home, or where you like to get coffee before the show. It's common sense, but I think when you're in the early stages of that sort of following, things slip through the cracks really easily, and they can (dangerously) bite you in the ass somewhere down the line. Keeping personal information quiet isn't the same as making judgement calls about who you become how friendly with, because that's a personal thing on an individual basis.
I actually had no idea that he let slip where he lives. Who was he speaking to and when (not that I want to know where he lives, justwas it a big interview)? That was maybe not the best idea, Mano, not the best idea at all.

No, I know, I didn't really expect any responses, I was more thinking out loud.
Wait, huh? I didn't spill it!
Grrrr, I always set it to accept PM's and then it gets possesed and sets itself back.
Thanks for messaging me though.

I don't know if it's maybe just me... I realize that several of you speak with Mano a lot. That's cool and all. But it seems that some of the information that you know, that some of us don't, you may unintentionally be...I guess, flaunting? Not in a sense that you're saying "Mano told me where he lives, but I'm not telling na na na!" or whatever. But if you're going to go about talking about something, and then say "Oh no, I've said too much!" it just confuses the people that have no idea what the few of you are speaking about.
I may be the only one who has no clue what the HECK you all are talking about. But it's difficult to talk about Mano or keep a discussion going when several of you are talking about something that is obviously supposed to be kept between you all, when the rest of us don't know...
Like, you come in and post on the thread some short sentence about something, and then only a few people know what's going on, and then they all giggle. But then someone gets confused and then you just change the subject.
I don't really care or whatever if Mano told you where he lives accidentally etc etc. It's more of the fact that you know that you're not supposed to talk about it, but you do, but very vaguely so as to leave everyone else confused while you keep the conversation going.
Edit: Like, stuff like this, sorry to use specific examples "So, you know how we were doubting that Mano could be a football fan? Yea...not so much. That's all I'm 'sayin." Well, several of you may know what's going on, but others don't. I'm not upset that I'm out of the loop on these things or anything, it's just that it's more difficult to carry a conversation when people are on different wavelengths. Shutting up now.

Liz!!! I couldn't agree more. I guess that's because I'm out of the loop too. Whatever. It's not a big deal, just a little annoying.
Also, I think a lot of it is done unintentionally because people are friends in the real world.
I'm not personally offended or anything, but it makes it hard to have a conversation.
Yeah, exactly. I'm not offended or anything, and I completely understand knowing people outside of the board. But it's hard to chime in on something when ya have know idea what's going on. So I've been staying away from the thread a lot because normally I'm confused as to what a few people are talking about.
Liz and iheart, I'm out of the loop too, so I understand how you feel (getting lost and confused).
