I was banned as Le Sanglier. 
Came back incognito as Mountain Man for a couple of years. 

But I disliked the deceit, so fessed up to Steve and came back in a third incarnation under my own name. 

 

I remember when you were doing all that stuff Mick . I had absolutely no idea it was you . Made I fair chuckle when you fessed up 😁

Sorry Rich, if that IS your real name, but you seem to have allowed the point that Mr Yourn Amehere was making to flap gracefully over your head there.

 

Personally, I wouldn't begrudge anyone wanting to remain anonymous on here after being told, repeatedly and in no uncertain terms, that we should be afraid of some members. 

Fair point.

If I was a Council Tree Officer for example  I would not identify myself for fear of repercussions.

Funnily enough, it is and have had the pleasure (or may be the displeasure 😉) to meet many of the fellas on this site including Rich and Joe so no need to tell anyone who I am or what I do.....mostly complaining bitterly about the state of their and others saws👍.

Yes that is my real name.

 

Nothing to hide here other than I was named Richard, but I guess you could work that one out.

 

Just google it.  I run Ekspert Trepleie As here in Norway after contract climbing for around 15 years in the UK.

 

Regardless, there are a number of people slinging shit from behind an alias.

 

A simple question was asked by a member after allegations of his lifestyle were assumed.  He asked from what aspect are you coming from as an individuals perspective usually depends on their own situation.

 

It is called context.  
 

I personally think that people should be accountable for their posts and not hide behind alias when they make snide remarks.

 

As usual, the starter of this thread has posted and ghosted.

 

why should you be afraid of certain members?  It is the Internet FFS.

 

Did your parent not repeat the mantra when you were young…?

 

“Sticks and stones may break bones but words will never hurt you.”

Yep this. If you want to be a dick at least have the balls to own it.

I shouldn't be, and I'm not. But I have been told to be scared, in a laughable display of faux machismo. I bet their dad could beat up my dad, too.

 

My, what a pointless thread.

[Rich Rule]

Just be civil and don’t type anything you wouldn’t be prepared to say to someone’s face.

 

If someone asks a question, why not answer it?

 

Instead of the old left leaning switcheroos that a number of the anonymous members seem to have habit of doing.  Trying to be clever and garner a laugh from others who utilise the same tactics when discussing certain topics.

 

Edit:  and for the record I prefer straight talking people who speak their mind.  At least you know where they’re coming from.  As opposed to cryptic answers which neither address the situation or make a valid point.

 

If you don’t like the conversation or viewpoint then just either ignore it, move  on, or have an adult conversation.

 

Not everyone has to agree in with everyone else.  It isn’t the way of the world.

Yep.

But just to clarify since it is attracting attention.

 

As to the thread: a certain other thread was being wrecked by a certain needy person who insisted on clogging it up by constantly asking for personal details from other members.

This thread was started as a comedy antidote to that irritant: so that his enquiries could be brought here rather than have them continue to infest that other thread; hence the tone of the OP and hence the advice given therein regarding divulging personal info. Advice that has been born out by that certain poster continuing to use personal details to demean and belittle other posters and anything they post. 

This thread was never meant to be taken seriously, was never meant to grow beyond the op; but as with many threads it has transcended its origins and taken on a life of its own. Which is fine.

 

As to anonymity: in the old days you were just another poster with a comedy name: no would ever dream of using their real name nor having an existence beyond the forum. It was assumed you would post in good faith and engage honestly with other posters: this constant attacking of the posters themselves rather attending to and discussing the matters they raise is unsettling and leaves me more disinclined than ever to 'come out'.

 

As to myself: for many other reasons that are not important my anonymity is important: I can have no internet presence whatsoever: that's just the way it is.

I am Nemo.

 

Sorry for any upset; I meant no harm.
