You say that as if it makes you proud.

"I can post sensible, useful, constructive things. However I chose to post shite. Wouldn't want anyone thinking I was a brain or anything."

took the words out of my mouth

It's been a long time since I had an alter ego on here. And I can't remember Tu Quoque's pass any more (my latest one).

And anyways, telling people probably defeats the purpose of making one.

talking of "novels"... I really meant to write a short story, not a novel. However, this thread seems to me more "on topic", so I will continue the story of "The Black Diamond"in this thread, but first

... I nearly forgot..some beer and a smoke... :guinesssm

Check this thread too

In this thread you will find it! You will have to search very carefully indeed....

Good point.

However, one purpose to make one(for some) could be to flame someone without losing favor with the other members who don't know who's doing the flaming.

That's not to say I'm totally against it, there seems to be some advantages/disadvantages to both sides. All I was saying to begin with, is some kind of consensus could be reached on what is ok and not ok with regard to the extra nicks and how they behave.

To paraphrase Les, from the Drawing Room. You can't really have an Anarchy Party, it sort of defeats the purpose.

re your other point in relation to creating another character simply to troll. I couldn't agree more, I have seen it happen and it really is pathetic. It's an entirely different thing from doing it for comedic effect.

That's just our opinion tho'.

overall, i'm split about 60/40 against them atm. It would be more like 80/20 but you raised some good points in favor of them, and also I thought of one final advantage(of the aliases). If the forum ever lost so many members that the lounge actually got really dead and quiet for days at a time, it would naturally be alot more enjoyable for the few people left to have lots of different "people" to talk to.
