    I selected Different usernames and personalities on the same site, because in the past I have owned forums and, um, sometimes you have to use creative techniques at the start.

    p.s. I could also have selected Different usernames and different personalities on different site and Same usernames and different personalities on same site.

    But then I am a special bunny.

    You see. Best not to give too much away, just in case. The special bunny might come visiting.
  • Evening,

    Only ever been rewired4. Don't see the point of all that sockpuppetry stuff myself.

    Cheers

    Evening broders.
  • I don't post on any other sites. :confused: I do have more than one ID on this site, very much the same personality though.
    Going to try to reduce my postings soon. Occasionally logging on in the evening when friends (and drunks) are usually on here.

    I guess no one's going to thank my stalking post. Might have to delete it.

    TBH I can't see what the issue is.

    I may be missing something and, having dealt with the general public face to face for many years, at all levels, I think I may have met some serious wierdo types in my time. Perhaps more than the average person.
    They would just walk on in and *Voila* there they were, face to face, and dead scary. Had to use our security radio a few times over the years.

    But I have a muscly, blokey OH so InternetLand doesn't really scare me too much.

    DD and his varied personas bothered me though and I backed off this site and board for a quite a while. I know he is still about but he makes me feel uneasy sometimes.

    I did.
    My brother had a real one once...total nightmare and very B Movie Horror Film at times. Caused me and my family a lot of bother incl threatening my DD @ aged 7 with a huge knife, said she would slit her throat.

    Police were pretty good but hard to deal with someone unbalanced. Esp as her race and our area had particular issues at the time that made it more difficult to deal with.....she should have been sectioned straight away but they dance around sectioning more nowadays.

    There are some really creepy characters online and they do tend to target women. I do find it hard to take the whole keyboard warrior thing seriously though. It just comes across as slightly ridiculous.

    But if one doesn't respond, then thay may just move onto someone else?

    I have to say, I have never been on the receiving end of anything innapropriate on this site...ever.
