Going away for a while and returning under a new i.d has been happening for years, and it?s quite fun when the new name gets gently ?outed?. The EDF has a great history of this, long may it reign.


Even the baddies trying to make a return are quite funny, Steve Taylor being one, and Trolley. And many on here may remember the funny/clinically insane Big Bad Wolf still brings a cold sweat to many, yet somehow the is it, isn?t it is just as fun.


But to have a multiple identity portfolio, and then use it across the forum is bordering on weird/deceptive, specially posting or housekeeping your own threads in each ?ego? is weird weird. Like who?s getting the kick here?


Even shadier is saving one ?ego? for supposedly funny stuff and the other for the more unsavoury political musings is worryingly odd. Just be you out-best-self why not?

Agree broadly with this SB...particularly if one (or is it two?) is a more regular poster in some of the more heated Lounge area threads, where everyone can sometimes get a little frustrated/stressed/emotional at the views of others that we may or may not like.


Of course, it must be said though, I can sometimes see the temptation to manufacture fake support for a potentially controversial position. As one (yes, just one) who has sometimes put forth views counter to the general EDF consensus, it does sometimes happen that the 'opposition' can gang up on opposing views, which occasionally verges on bullying....and while I have never done it myself, I can see that perhaps how having a fake friend to lend some support might be appealing!

    • Calling All Private Chefs – We’re Looking for You! We’re currently looking for talented private chefs in and around East Dulwich (and across London) for a number of exciting upcoming bookings and events. If you’re a chef, or know someone who is, we’d love to hear from you. Please drop your name, contact info, and a quick intro below or message directly. Thanks! Anthony Bird & Co Events
    • Since you’re clearly not experiencing what we are I’m not sure I agree with any of your points. I also asked for anyone else having a similar problem… it’s absolutely fine if you’re not but I’d appreciate less of the “go live your life”. There is no need to comment with that tone, it doesn’t provide us with any help for the matter. Nor is it polite. We’re a very kind family simply not wanting damage and don’t find the actions necessary. It’s been the same driver/delivery for a while and this never used to happen. I wouldn’t post this on the forum if it wasn’t getting so frustrating. Again, the kids and myself have kindly asked for this to stop a few times with no success. We all work hard for our living and would never want (nor are we trying) to rid someone of their livelihood. But similarly, I don’t find it fair. Please feel free to PM me if anyone has any advise or shares the same.  
    • And now we have the worst labour government in many many decades who, by moving to your position on the right, are ushering in a far right reform government. Well done you.
    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem or for an independent Left candidate. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
