I've been stalked in real life, and that is why I am a bit hesitant to let online people see much of who I am.
I'm a bit of a bitch with people who try to cross the wall. No one gets my home phone number. I don't care if we've been online friends for over a year and your mum passed away.
If I've known a person longer than 6 months, and think of them as a friend they can have my address. And I don't just mean that they drooled over my Buffy stuff, they need to have a real journal with real elements of their lives available, so that I like who they are too. I feel comfortable with giving out my address because I don't live alone, and my landlords are a friendly couple that live upstairs, plus I move frequently enough for that to never have been an issue in the past.
I don't mind people I don't know well pinging me on AIM or Yahoo, but I'm also very comfortable telling people that I have things to do and don't have time to chat with them.
