I think so, even though I haven't met anyone from here in person. I'm FB friends with several people from here and there shouldn't be any conflicting stories between the two. Of course I don't really know the extent of what exactly went down, so maybe that's not enough.
Nope. I don't use my name here or any revealing information. I have met no one.
I am just amazed at the shock at ML. I mean, it's more over how invested so many people got into these different characters. That being said, I'm someone who's been on TK/TN/GBCN for 6 years and has never exchanged contact info or meet up with anyone. Clearly, I've never developed relationships like many people here have. I'm ok with that, and am not judging anyone, I just can't share in this experience at all.

I clicked maybe. I sent noodleskooze and c7 formula coupons so they know my real name and address. karmasabiotch donated to my charity walk page last summer that had my name and photo.
Probably not. My post count is still pretty low. I don't post pictures of myself. I don't have a signature. I've never communicated with anyone off board.
Yep. rbp, womet, @choco and others know I am a real live person. I was going to say I think RBP has met DD2 but actually I think nobody from the boards has. So maybe my children are fictitious* and you people will never know.
Maybe? I'm FB friends with some & I've met a few locals that post on MM/ML/HG but it 7ish yrs ago. I'm not good at translating online friends into IRL because it feels so weird at GTGs for me...whichbis weird since im totally an extrovert. I do have 2 IRL friends from TN but they don't post on GBCN that I know of.
No, I haven't met anybody, but I've thought about it if there's a GTG in my area. I finally outed myself (my GBCN habit) to my H ~2 months ago so that was a first step.
ETA - I don't think I'm generally inflammatory enough for people to care about my identity, though.
That said, if I am a troll, I am the most boring troll ever. Who thinks "I know, I'll impersonate a relatively stable and drama-free mother of three who occasionally offers an opinion on her favorite steak house or reveals the contents of her children's Easter baskets"? I am a relatively creative person. If I were going to make up a identity, it would be a lot more interesting that my actual one.
Up until 6 months ago I would have said no because I lurked/under participated for years. I have been making more of an effort in the past year and even met @ruralrabbit1 IRL.

I can vouch for @carmensandiego, rbp, @choco, @kirkette, @gypsy, @charky, @mrsbamfb, bunch. Oh, and I even met orangeblossom at work. And @songforyou and runblondie26.

To answer the poll, I have met in person a grand total of one GBCN'er, and she's not a regular on this board. There's only ever been one meet-up anywhere near where I had a chance to be, and timing/work wise it doesn't work out for me. I have, at least, posted a couple photos over time. That might help.
Yeah. I've met at least (I did a big GTG with another PB and not sure if any of them are on GBCN) 2 GBCNers. Although I'm not sure which boards they post most frequently on. Also, I don't know fi they could be vouched for by a long time MLer.
