Better forums than EDF for a good argument?

[JoeLeg]

That?s some grade A cognitive dissonance you?ve got there Louisa, keep it up!

[Louisa]

Next I?ll be blamed for *Bob* not posting anymore, or Jeremy, Otta and ???? for that matter. My issue isn?t with the forum, my issue is with being blamed for causing problems. I still love the forum!

I was told *Bob* blew himself up but cannot remember who told me.

The others simply could not survive on their own and relied on each other for back-up.

They sort of all left at the same time.

You missed out Jah Lush the final member of the gang of five. The so called Cliche.

Foxy.

[Louisa]

Jah Lush has gone?

Well I suppose that?s my fault too. Why not. Even StraferJack stopped posting because of me probably.

Logical reasoning as always :))

And now I'm off again to do busy things. Better ignore the forthcoming gap in my posting activity, it might put your theories at risk :))

On some forums by now someone would have accused these of all being the same person (whether or not their IP addresses matched or they'd been for a group curry - for a multi-login professional these problems are minor).

Maybe NONE of them actually ever existed. I dont recall knowingly ever meeting any of them. ???

Computer Generated. Would make more sense. Auto reply whenever the Fox posted. :)

I can assure you that The Curry Club members DO exist. I've met at least a dozen of them

and all at the same time.

Like Purple Bricks. Real People. Not just on line.

Foxy.

[Louisa]

I too wonder how many of these characters exist. Not digging anyone specifically out here, but over the years a number of dubious aliases have popped up on here. I have always kept my screen name and have never posted from another, I am quite proud to say. Whatever people may think of me, they know where I post from. And I certainly never give fake reviews on here.

I've met Otta and ???? at forum drinks in the past and think I've met Jeremy too (I've met a Jeremy who is a friend of Otta's anyway). So they do exist, as does Strafer Jack.

[DulwichFox]

I know Strafer Jack. Who had other name(s) here. as did El Pebe.

Lots of people with more than one name.

I know loads of people on here "in real life".

Yes quite a few people have had more than one name, but to the best of my knowledge all the people you mention have posted on here saying they changed their name, and saying what their old and new ones were.

Most people already knew, anyway. They didn't keep it a secret particularly.

Very few people however deliberately change their name so that people won't know who they are, or post under more than one name simultaneously (unless for business purposes), or create whole false new "real/unreal life" characters for themselves.

Or go back and delete all their posts under one of their names under the impression that then they can't be identified (forgetting that even if they delete their own posts, they can't delete those posts of theirs which have been quoted by somebody else :)) )

And JohnL, yes, very easy to change IP address to fool admin, for example. Less easy to change your style of writing, and to keep your fake character's likes and dislikes and interests consistent over time.

[Louisa]

Sorry for the slow responses Sue, I?ve been really busy. Haven?t had the time!

Seems bizarre to me that anyone would post under numerous different alias or identities. Too much time on their hands etc. It still baffles me as to why so many posters here are obsessed by ?logical reasoning?. If that were the case, then major institutions such as religion would also be pulled up every 5 minutes. Logic is subjective.

Your trolling seems to becoming less subtle, Louisa.

I'm not even taking the bait of "logic is subjective" :))

However, if you are so proud of having always had one forum name, maybe you could go one step further and tell us where we can find you in real life?

You can find me at any Goose Is Out! gig at The Ivy House, which is where I was last night, and you can even ask for me by my forum name. Because it's the same as my real name.

You can even see an (old) picture of me on our website http://www.thegooseisout.com

When there were forum drinks, lots of forum members turned up in real life and told people who they were on the forum.

And yes posting under more than one name is bizarre, but then some people have their reasons.

ETA: And just so that you and Dulwich Fox can continue to monitor my posting habits, I'll make it easy for you and let you know that I'm off to do other things now, but I expect I may be back again later today sometime :)) :)) :))

Once again Sue, predictably, you can?t accept that someone else may have a different opinion to you, so your easy way out is to immediately accuse them of trolling. Logical reasoning is what you?re asking for from the likes of me and others on the forum, and yet your response to my post is that I am ?trolling?- and that is logical how? Let?s face it, whatever response I give to you on here, I will no doubt be accused of trolling. That?s totally illogical in my opinion.

On the point of exposure off of the forum, that is entirely upto the individual. If you like that level of real world interaction then that?s absolutely fine. *Bob* was never pulled up on his real world antics, and yet somehow it?s ok to use that one on me? As I said, never posted under other names and YES I was invited by StraferJack to the drinks on various occasions, and as he would testify I?m sure, extenuating circumstances prevented me from attending.

And your own life consists of reading this thread in the lounge on an online forum and posting your fifth post in nearly a year on it?

That's funny :)) :)) :))

I'm very happy with the life I've already got, thanks.

But thanks for the "advice" :)) :)) :))

ETA: That last line was sarcastic, btw :)) :)) :))

I'm really hoping that these smileys irritate you. Mean, I know :)) :)) :))

Who the hell do you think you?re talking to? Barely any posting history, coming here for a fight. Bugger off!

So your point is ..... ??

You've never actually divulged your real identity to anybody on here, although on various occasions you could have done? :))

The drinks were open to anybody, you didn't need to be invited. Unless we are talking about some more selective forum drinks than the ones which were posted up on here and changed pubs from month to month, and which I used to occasionally go to?

In which case, I was never invited to the ones for the select few :))

My point is, you talk as though not attending forum drinks or publicly displaying your real life self on a internet forum is somehow strange? I would have thought most people would be dubious about doing that, it?s not a points scoring thing. If you choose to do that, all power to you. I choose not to, and your point is?

For an example of why regular posters/ beautiful people/ in crowd may have departed, I would suggest an objective look at the passage of this thread as a starting point. Sort it out.

"Sort it out" ?!?!?! What does it have to do with you, exactly?

You don't have to read it!

As in real life, conversations may take various directions.
