You said it, not me buddy...
Should I make another thread? Because I'm sure I wouldn't be the ONLY person that would like to know how safe we REALLY are here. And the way I see it still pertains to the OP's topic of anonymity and how anonymous we really are.

Now that depends by what you mean by "safe" ?
Safe from whom? Drug dealers? Your parents? FBI/DEA? You can't generalize all of that into one group.
Don't forget that your user name on here is somewhat anonymous, unless you happen to be using your real name as your username, for some reason.
Then everything you post on here passes through your ISP, so you also get to worry about employees at your ISP spying on what you do.
It's not worth it to be that level of paranoid.
Incriminating situations such as drug deals, we just don't allow that on this site to begin with.
Bottom line is - don't go posting anything you don't want coming back to bite you in the ass later on.

See this is where it gets confusing. You allow people to talk about doing illicit drugs and how to prepare, obtain, cultivate or even forage those substances. Even so far as people posting pictures of themselves along side doing these illegal acts. We all know that just having the knowledge or a link to information about something, isn't illegal, but that is not what is happening here. People are collectively sharing very self incriminating information everyday here. I mean I totally understand why you don't want this place to be the hook-up site, and agree. I guess what I am getting at is a bigger question that just for the SA section but for the entire site: How safe are we here, and how private is our information here? (Let's assume that everything coming from my local PC passed thru my ISP is encrypted)

No one has been busted by posting on this site in the 14 years or so it has been up, so you are 100% safe.

More private than most sites.

Why not?
Law enforcment does not work by trolling message board for victimless crimes. They generally set people up for selling drugs or work based on complaints.

Nothing is "truly" anonymous in the digital age. The trick is to put more energy into being anonymous than anyone would want to devote toward discovering your identity.

You apparently don't pay much attention to the Shroomery News Service. http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/19079071/page/3
There have been other documented cases of people being arrested for posting about their drugs and/or drug usage on Facebook.
Hopefully those posting in the shroomery facebook group are doing so from accounts that do not readily identify themselves.
