Even if he is, (and personally, I doubt it very much) what difference would it make anyway?

FWIW I've never thought that Wookster and !!!!!! are the same either:D

Read what you're writing people from about the 50th post onward

This is a thread about trying to make the board work

And all we have is accusations and counter accusations. It had started so well... I rarely say this - but grow up.

If you're thinking "i didnt start it" then you're wrong, you reacted. If you hadn't there wouldn't have been an arguement.

How depressing.

You're right. I can really see where your team are coming from, it really does seem more hassle than it's worth right now. And yes, I know I've been drawn into posting after post #50. There's not much else to really say on this anyway; just a shame every thread started with good intentions and wanting to be constructive ends up descending into a playground tit-for-tat. How depressing indeed.

I might be bearish, but I come on here to read all shades of opinion, and I couldn't care less if someone wants to call themselves 'Smellyferret' one minute and 'Jeanpaulsartre' the next. Arguments about sockies and all the rest of it just get in the way.

Ah, but it's that terrible British thing about 'fairness' isn't it? Not fair if the opposing team appears to have more members,or if they're all thanking each other and ganging-up on the opposition. Well, if they are, they're a deceitful bunch of thankers, but I still don't care that much; I want to hear what they have to say, whether there's one, or fifteen of them.

I'll forget it all in five minutes anyway.....;)

Posters often go on the Relationship board, for example, and say they post on another board under a different name. Posters don't necessarily want to post under the same user name all the time. FWIW it makes no difference to me who posts under what username as mostly I come to this board for information. Often posters spot articles I miss elsewhere, which for me is this boards strength.

FWIW I have a 'proper' reason for believing that they're two different people, but I'm not prepared to say why.

One can never be 100% sure of anything on the internet, of course, but I'd put money on it.;)

Well i'd be amazed if i found out they were different people, sorry.
Must admit it's crap on here now. I loved it with sortofok, dolcevita, nelly etc.I used to log on with eagerness and belly laugh my way through the night. I even miss meanmachine. The characters have gone, we have lost the soul. If they closed it down i wouldn't be too bothered. For what it is worth for all you people moaning about the sockpuppetry it is what has kept me on here a little bit longer, had a good laugh with it and yes i admit to being quite a few of the sockpuppets, i know you guys never suspected me and guess it might come as a bit of a surprise to some.

Well, personally, I think the officialtomterm8sockpuppet must have fooled at least half a person. Frankly, I think Mr Broderick is probably to blame for it. I would never stoop so low as to use a sockpuppet, well, not unless it was an official sock puppet with a membership fee.

Nope, not the same...poor Wookster has given up trying to defend it...I don't think he know's who !!!!!!? is anyway.

Similar writing style + interests but diff people.

No, if yo are saying dolcevita is here under another username that to me does not mean he is still here. I want him out of the closet and back here in the flesh.

I think dolcevita pre-dates my arrival
