I wonder if anyone will notice? Or if you threw in a real one?
I would spot it . I could do with claiming a tenner at the moment.

There is little chance of me throwing in a real one. Maybe one day...

We didn't cross paths much but the board changed as I felt (only my own view) that he 'played' people sometimes...and cleverly too.

His main DD persona was a good, decent one and he often made entertaining and informative posts but he had a few other sides to his personality that would sneak out on here now and again.
Also, if he disliked someone, he tended to 'go' for them more than I would consider appropriate on an anon, chat board. If someone winds you up or get's on your nerves on here, best to just avoid just like in RLife.

I always put it down to the fact that he worked away from home during the week. Hard for a parent/partner whatever the reasons for it.

Considering it myself at the mo, financially it is a winning idea but OH and I are in angst about it. The price of being apart is hard to define ...it's not just the amount saved/earnt etc.

Anyway, I have no personal axe to grind with DD at all....he just made me feel uneasy sometimes for no reason that I can properly articulate (sic?) here...and the AE's became really difficult to work out too.


I didn't report anything, never do...I take the view that if it offends and one can switch it off, then that's what you do. If it is a personal attack on another poster, then you can post a defence or ignore too....but I find that hard to do.

Funniest posts he ever made were on a SquatNow thread about Armaggedon about 2 years back. That DD was the real DD i think.

This is what I don't understand. Lots of people have nice things to say about DD (there was a glowing reference from JonnyBravo just the other day) and others, including myself, have remarked about the kind and polite replies to PMs. It seems that people moan about his use of AE's, rather than his DD username. Using sock puppets is an easy accusation to make and a very hard one to refute. Every time I see someone accused of using sock puppets on here, I ask the question "How do you know?". I still have not received a reasonable answer, often I receive no answer at all.

I dunno, it seems to be a very good tactic if you dislike someone on here to either accuse them of using AE's to discredit them or even worse to create an AE to 'support' the person you dislike and then once it's publicly accepted as his/her sockpuppet use it to attack people you know your 'enemy' likes and to generally be a pest. Easy way to turn people against him/her I would say.

Still, it's just an internet forum after all, shame though if you get such enjoyment from posting and then you're driven from the site, when all you have done is gain the emnity of some wacko. I think this has happened to another forum user, NDG. Oh well, as long as it only happens to other people, that's fine.

fc123, if you can tell me how to upload a photo, I'll link to one containing me.

None of this illustration from a book rubbish either.
