I wonder...

[j2k4]

...how I've managed to survive as long as I have in this place with one identity?

I might more productively wonder why everyone else seems to need more than one?

Always seemed a bit of a deceptive practice. :huh:

If we were to all meet at the pub, the name-tagging would be a horrendous problem.

As usual, only my opinion.

It is the buying of six pints for the same individual that would crack me up. Likewise I only have the one but I am easily confused and could end up arguing with myself.

I'm don't find myself inclined to argue while in a pub.

Sit at my table, Les; we'll drink to our non-schizoid one-ness. ;)

[StephG]

Bet neither of you have one identity :earl:

What's the difference like?

Exactly, you (plural) don't make the rules here (or even understand them) even tho' you may make them elsewhere.

As such overt displays of condescension are unlikely to have a positive effect.

[Biggles]

Not entirely sure why feeling miserly regarding buying six pints for one individual is condescending. I can only asume you were hopeful regarding your 18 accounts :)

on the 16th i will have been here 3 years. crazy.

Condescending and obtuse, there's a heady mix.

I do confess to be a tad confused - this one has obviously gone right over my head. :blink:

Actually, you are correct.

I had another account for a duration of no more than about ten posts during my last "missing posts/non-functional account" episode.

I haven't used it since.

There are people in here who use 4-5 identities in one thread.

As to "What's the difference like?", I am a bit cloudy as to your question; I like to know who I'm talking to.

The "easily confused" motif again, in the same thread.

FFS, have you no shame.

Do you do fake "hard of hearing" as well.

I didn't know you cared.

Is it too late in the thread to ask why J2K4 would even consider spending time in a pub with us peóns?

In real life do you always interact with people the same way. Do you speak to a child the same way you would speak to your buddy in the bar. Or do you have a variety of identities you use.

My forum/bar personnae are completely interchangeable, and, though I said I am not generally disposed to a bar argument, I will not hesitate to engage in one.

I don't generally encounter children in bars.

I can use big words and/or wee, tiny ones; I can even blend them, once I'm sufficiently in my cups.

Speaking of cups, I can drink a bunch of them, and a bunch more, without exhibiting the least untoward behavior or malice.

Guillaume-

You would not be made to feel like a peon were you to encounter me in a pub; I am as common as air, or I wouldn't be hanging out in a pub, see?

High-class "pubs" bore me to death; no darts, no pool, no foosball?

No j2, either.

[Gripper]

T'is funny when you have sussed out who various accounts belong to,and they are posting opposing views in one thread.
Gets a stale thread moving though,so it has some uses.

[Mr JP Fugley]

Kev and Les are trying to be real life people on t'interweb. They won't accept that this is an entire new way of interacting with other human beings. They are forced to bring their mores along for the ride.

As to your first, I wouldn't have it any other way; subterfuge is for strangers.

To your second, I surely do accept this is entirely new-it is the interweb, which I discovered only after I became a fully-formed adult.

To your last, my mores are too firmly affixed to leave behind; I even shower with them.

[MagicNakor]

Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.

Umm.............yeah.

Does this circumstance require additional forum identities in order to reach full flower?

You forgot how to play, bet you were quite young when it happened. Early teens maybe.

Hide and seek is subterfuge, did you ever play it, with your friends. Or would that have been duplicitous.

So you were a fully formed adult when you found the interweb, had you lost the ability to adapt to new things?

Truth is you like to know who you are talking to, because that gives you a frame of reference. You don't like just reacting to what people post without that.

[j2k4]

If memory serves, the game of hide-and-seek gives context to the necessary subterfuge.

Is the subterfuge practiced here predicated on something other than whim?

So you were a fully formed adult when you found the interweb, had you lost the ability to adapt to new things?

Certainly not, or I'd never have found the interweb.

Truth is you like to know who you are talking to, because that gives you a frame of reference. You don't like just reacting to what people post without that.

As to the first, true.

As to the second, while I don't think any here would call me inhibited, I do feel personal interaction is subject to a certain degree of circumspection.

If doing so were not a social norm, noobs would have nothing to fear, would they?

As an aside, our membership level is probably several magnitudes lower than reported, owing to all these extra identities.

Not that it matters.

Sorry, MN.

While I have read "The Picture of Dorian Gray", I was never particularly struck by Oscar Wilde; he seemed to me a brilliant flare given to dissipation, which phenomenon we see often enough.

Che Guevara and the like ride in the same boat I've assigned to Mr. Wilde.

I didn't know Cheese Guevara was a big raving nancyboy.

[Gripper]

See he was (http://perso.gayattitude.com/che-gayvara/),who'da thunk it,must be the beret!

[j2k4]

I don't know that he was, I only meant that, like Wilde, he holds no interest for me.

I guess that makes me an equal-opportunity ignorer.

omg, im agreeing with kev :unsure:

About Che too... I'm sure that kev's picture of me includes the tee shirt :ph34r:

[thewizeard]

I changed my nick because.. I kept forgetting my old one...

I actually wanted to change my nick from nigel123 to just nigel...but I was too late, it was already taken...

I know you as a socialist (honestly), not a commie.

Was he really a fag, too? :huh:

It's the internet. People fuck around. No harm done.

I've used different aliases to simply fuck around. No "surviving" involved.
The main culprits of what you describe are Cheese/Withcheese/Mike Nelson/....and Agrafag/GayPaul/G'Pol/Shit Stunk/GayPee Fucklee. Other than those, there aren't many. Can't forget HillBilly Dean/Leftism/UKResident/RioDeLeo.

If you want a slap on the back for not getting a new nick, it ain't commin'.

....and that's if you don't really have another nick.:shifty:

Pff I can't even pronounce your new nick:O

it's not all that new Seedler, I just changed my nick to the one I use on OpenNap...

[thewizeard]

...suppose I can do something useful with this double post...

It's pronounced:- the - wiz - e - ard

I've only got the one
