Gromnir Posted October 27, 2005 Posted October 27, 2005 alt accounts is for sissies and cowards. on a couple rare occasions Gromnir has posted short stories in past using alt accounts... but we always conclude such postings with, "HA! Good Fun!" sure, we wanted folks to give our works a fair read, but we did not hide behind an aka to avoid criticism. got no respect for those who hide behind alt accounts... none. HA! Good Fun!

213374U Posted October 27, 2005 Posted October 27, 2005 I guess everyone's entitled to their opinion. I don't give online personae as much importance as Gromnir does, which makes the identity of the poster irrelevant to me. Assuming that posting from an alt is a means of saving another account's "prestige" is almost as funny as it is ridiculous. But then again, people can get real worked up about stuff that goes on here, so perhaps it's not that far-fetched. I made accounts for very specific purposes: to circumvent the moderation, or that time when I was feeling playful and cloned a few members. - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.

Cantousent Posted October 27, 2005 Author Posted October 27, 2005 What the hell, you people? Is it so hard to understand that the motive behind posting as an alt might not be to "save" the original account? As if Eldar needs saving when compared to my other account. Good God!

213374U Posted October 27, 2005 Posted October 27, 2005 ... if you is willing to lie about identity... Lie? Well, I guess you could say that we are all lying, as I haven't seen anyone reveal their true identity yet. Some even create weird online personae to conceal their true selves, for whatever reasons. Go figure. If you don't accept that posting from behind a pseudonym is a valid way of protecting one's RL privacy and you consider it "lying", then you are a liar yourself, by your own definition. If, on the other hand, you accept it, please explain to me how is one alias more valid than the next and why is it wrong to have more than one. Also, and instead of going off on a tangent about how many liars you have to deal with on a daily basis, explain how creating an alt account to circumvent an effective ban is an act of cowardice. Pretty please? - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.

Gromnir Posted October 27, 2005 Posted October 27, 2005 (edited) oh come now. is hardly comparable. nowhere has Gromnir lied about his identity... he simply has not given you enough info to track us down in real life Edited October 27, 2005 by Gromnir "If there be time to expose through discussion the falsehood and fallacies, to avert the evil by the processes of education, the remedy to be applied is more speech, not enforced silence."Justice Louis Brandeis, Concurring, Whitney v.
