What's to "get"??

We're acting like idiots? Well, nuttin like a little name-callin' from the peanut gallery :-)

 

So you don't think it's a big thing to trash/flame/name-call/insult someone here, doing so with a 'fake name'? So if you post something Jennie, and I don't like it, it would be okay for me to post with a different name and call you filthy names and such? Hardly. It's rude, poor netiquette and cowardly. If you have a problem with someone here, present your concerns like a mature person....why hide behind some fake name? Fake names don't add any credibility to your position, they only take away from it.

 

Secondly....as for you and others who have used multiple names to post the same problems, as I (and others) have explained in the past *sigh*, here is where the problem lies. It seems pretty basic to me.

 

If I come on here as Jane Doe and post about a problem, get sincere responses/advice...then come back a week later, using a different name, asking for the same advice/stating the same scenario...then again the next week, and so on and so on and so on, it's not only OBVIOUS what's going on (that it's the same person)...but it's rude. To be honest, Jennie...most of the times you posted with 'other names', it was your writing style/the content of your posts/the situations/the problems that were ALL the same. There was no need for checking IP#'s.....even a monkey could tell it was you.

 

Why do people do this? How many times are you going to post the same problem, asking for the same advice, to the same people? How many times do you want them to give you the SAME advice? Are people that do this looking for some "magical advice"? Many people here, Tony, Miss Mojo, Oliver, Ed, sparkle, etc....they spend a lot of time answering posts, and giving sincere advice. Each time a person picks a new name to post the same darn problem with, it's deceiful....and it's wasting their time....because they already gave that person advice 2 or 3 different names ago.

 

Seems to me that when a person feels the need to use multiple names to constantly post the same problem/asks for the same advice, it's time that person sought professional help...that the advice given on this board is just 'not enough'....also, you can't live your life based on the advice you get from a forum like this. You can't become dependent on advice forums.......sooner or later you gotta p*ss or get off the pot...and take those volumes of good advice you've received and run with it......apply some of it.....make some decisions....make some changes.....instead of wasting everyone's time, coming back here with a different name, looking for 'magical advice'......that's what adults DO.

 

I've been online for over 4 yrs now. I've been a regular at many relationship/sexuality forums..and this is the FIRST one where the use of multiple names is tolerated. It's also the only place I've been to where people don't like the advice they get so they come back with a fake name and curse the crap out of someone and are allowed to stay. Maybe that's why we have such things occuring here...cuz it's allowed. On other boards, that person would have been banned months ago.

 

Hey, if people want to use multiple names to post the same old problems with....go for it. I think it's sad, and indicative of someone who needs a lot more help in their life than a place like this can give them.
