Am I the only person that thinks that some TOTV'ers may have different screen names in order to support their views on here?

It happens on our local Glassboro board frequently. It's not hard to spot on our local board because there is one person who always downs another specific person and uses the same words repeatedly.

I have a couple of screen names here because I forget my password, and don't have the patience to wait for a new one.

My names are NJGranny, NJGreatgrann and JanfromJersey.

Ohhhhhh, Jan,

That is a no-no to have more than one. Pick the one you want, send it to me in a PM along with the password you want. I will set the password then make sure you can get in.

Then I'm afraid I will have to delete the other two.

Tsk, tsk, tsk, Jan.

[graciegirl]

Tony, Please don't tsk on sweet Jan. She isn't at all devious.

GG..... as I've mentioned before, I like to hang out at a couple of other public forums and what you describe is very common . I don't understand why they do it, but if its purpose is to deceive people who are unaware... then IMHO that is dishonest and wrong

As for moi..... I Yam what I Yam.... here and elsewhere on the www

Why would they have different names to back themselves up? Don't need one.

Yes you do.
No, I don't.
Yes you do.
NO I DON'T.

Oh please don't tell me that C***** has multiple userids. In the last several months, I'd begun to think of TOTV as her private blog anyway.

OTOH, I can almost understand some using multiple IDs/personalities. Occasionally you want to have an intelligent discussion on a subject and realize the only one who could do justice in defending the other view is yourself. So you have a quandary. See many of B3's posts for example.

I agree with CIB and yet people have accused me of being at least 4 others.!! Attacks on others that people thought were me.
My husband had tried to log on with my computer and got banned because of the same address. That was a long time ago. We have had nothing but problems since with my computer. Tony has spent hours trying to get me back on......
I hope when I finally get to the Villages this will clear up. Obviously I have no real knowledge of computers. Others have tried to help too.

So GG--I have always had just one identity!!!!!!( and many computer problems.)
I don't really spent much time on here. My life is flying by with months missing while I am recovering. I don't know why I am on here now. ??? Goodnight!

I have been Brightspot for 8 years and no matter what forum, chatroom, or game room you go to, if I am a member I will be Brightspot there. The only difference will be the 01 or 0101 that follows my name.

I'm proud of who I am and have no intentions of ever using a different nic in order to appear as someone else.

rokinronda since 1996 when I joined Gamesville online. I used to have AOL internet service years ago and when I cancelled I lost rokinronda. I contacted them and fixed it so I could still have my email and IM. Slight variations if name is not available is ok, but only 1 ID per site!

Chels, if you don't stop that bickering, you're going to have to stop speaking to yourself.

I think it is good to have more than one name. The Air Force taught me that you can always blame something on somebody or make an excuse for somebody when you are not in that body. Also, everybody needs somebody. If I say or do something stupid than my other body can say well he was just getting over a sickness and didn't know what he was saying. Then my real body would take over and start all over again until I flubbed up again causing my other body to step in again and make another excuse. Just substitute different names for the different bodies and you can fool anyone. Well, at least you think you can fool anyone. We all know what Honest Abe said about "You can fool some of the people ........" Then you have to get past the Admins, not any easy task....I will just keep JohnnyM and be happy!

[graciegirl]

NJGranny just shared that it is easy to do. She has done it when she has forgotten her password. OH the possibilities. Who shall I be?

JUST KIDDING Tony!!

But seriously,having no avatar and a low number of posts always makes me wonder, especially in the placement of the posts in certain threads. Also when certain writing styles are similar and having the same spelling errors.

Well, it isn't a serious thing, only annoying to me.

[Peachie]

I personally think if someone has enough ambition to be multiple personalities and can keep them all straight when posting, go for it!

And now I've been outed... I'm actually Muncle, Fumar, SteveZ, Sidney, ZCaveman, Kahuna, Faithfulfrank, Huncle, Handie, Talk Host. I'd better stop this, is beginning to look like I have some kind of envy.......

[graciegirl]

I can only do four of these, but I have sprayed coffee all over my keyboard, wet my pants and choked.

Oh PEACHIE! How did I get along without knowing you?
