I know they ain't. But does it matter?

― Pete, Monday, 8 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i guess not unless ur trying to have a serious discussion!

Truthful...hmmm, two aspects for me:

1) Not disclosing personal details etc. = fine, no problem

2) Making things up = dubious, but not a major major problem, as ILe for me is more about opinion and chit chat than baring your soul to the world.

Truth is kinda vague and subjective.

Oh yeah of course, certainly wouldnt bare my soul here as u put it.

So, I take it your problem is with devil's advocacy and trolling? And general "identity" creation? Yeah, I agree that can disrupt serious dicussions.

When discussing and responding = treat everything as the gods honest.

In my head = don't believe a word of it. (This is also a good line to use when reading my posts).

Fair enough I suppose, jst new to this!

I bet everyone one of you creates some interesting intrigues to make yourselves sound more interesting. Lord, knows how exhilarating this would be if you all told the *truth*....

i have some three to four different aliases going around ile, dunno why know one pays attention anyway

― schiz, Monday, 8 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Precisely. It is rare for anyone to open up, unless they are at risk of losing something if they do not.

Anyhoo, it's more fun telling,little porkies and inflating your sense of self.

I am related to Nicole Kidman. *True*.

It is usually quite easy to spot people using different identities

― saint, Monday, 8 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

How do you reckon so?

― Withheld, Monday, 8 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

hmmm i dont agree - here at the tter.net org we look at studies of the identity and the self - it can be difficult to spot fakes

― ?????, Monday, 8 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

COR CRIKEY I dunno about that, I are reckoning it is impossible to spot who is behind an alias ha ha ali-ARSE more like ect ect

― Ahem!, Monday, 8 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

alias = not roXoR

― ally s, Monday, 8 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

those last few made me chuckle - and i posted one of them

People write in the same style & say the same kind of things.

― Not gullible, Monday, 8 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I don't have anything to add.

― jel --, Monday, 8 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

There is nothing more to say as most of the responses have been by the same person anyway!

― Pinkpanther, Monday, 8 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Whoa! Hold your horses cowboy. I take no responsibility for the drivel published by the *others*.

― Withheld, Monday, 8 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

haha the problem of the anonymous post hilariously demonstrated

― ally s, Monday, 8 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

sometimes people do this to elude / confuse stalkers. or sometimes the people using multiple identities are stalkers.

I post anonymously to avoid my secret shame, namely that I am the walrus. No depilatory cream can exorcise these coarse, unsightly whiskers. No diet can shed this blubbery mass. No whitener can bleach these yellowed tusks or sweeten the smell of herring from my overladen breath. No sun can gently tan this tough, grey hide.

i usually think i'm being truthful but in fact i am quite inconsistent. but thats alright, my opinions are allowed to change. i'm not very good at lying anyway.

― di, Monday, 8 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i have many names here but i don't usually make a secret out of them being me. unless i am posting something way too personal and/or self- piteous.

― di, Monday, 8 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I use one or two, but only to amuse myself.

You know how Ned and I keep saying we're different people? Well...

― Dan Perry, Tuesday, 9 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

...WE ARE. ;)

― Dan Perry, Tuesday, 9 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I wish I could learn to stop saying these things in public.
