Hidden Usernames- Are they slithering snakes to be avoided?

So can I come back on here as "Liberal" and blast away?

Can I come on here as "TeleEvangelist" and belittle and ridicule?

If I were to use an alter ego, how long until you would find me out from my posting and language use?




What do you think?

This is the thread Thad would not start.

Boom...these people who have alter egos...does the admin team know by the IP who they really are?

If a poster wishes to post something under another name to make a point and not reflect on their known standing here, I am fine with that.

But to change a username for the sake of ridicule and because they think they can, I find it insulting and unfair.

Amen.

I agree with this.

I think it's sort of dishonest...which ego is real?

I know I have nothing to worry about here... I wonder about some "ultracon" 's though.

I have a few names on here...but have always been consistant with my posting. I dont feel one should become a jekyl and hyde just to ride both sides.

I don't THINK that I said I would leave.

I came to AFF by personal invitation and until that changes, I will just hang around.

I have only ONE user-name and am happy to post under that ONE name.

Many on AFF know me personally.

I guess I could post my real name, nothing to hide, but when I started posting Jim Yohe advised me to get a user-name, so I did and have kept it from FCF, nFCF, GNC to AFF.

I am amazed that folks want to argue BOTH sides of the argument and BLAST someone from where they THINK they are unknown.

Says something about the person with multiple user-names.

It is no secret that owners and admin team members have MANY different names.
