Right. That old question. We all function under screen names and avatars. Still and all, under those screen names and avatars, we've come to know each other over the past few years, and people have met each other in real life. That's pretty much as real as it gets. Most of the humorous socks are also a known quantity. Either the user behind them is known, and anyway, if not, they contribute in a humorous way, and are fun. Then there are the more malicious and deceitful socks who either use that anonymity to troll the forum, pretend to participate, or flat-out attack other posters. These are the behaviors that I find reprehensible, and these are the socks that people have objections to. |

Yeap. I didn't disagree with what y'all were saying, just wondered how you'd define it since it's a very fine line with me. Like so many other things it's all about intent. |

So is Michelle actually Jack, or is there some kind of weird perverse game going on? Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course, particularly in light of my semi-erotic run-in with (s)he who must not be named. |

No, I would guess that everybody thinks it wasn't an actual threat. Now, if it was said in person, it would be a different story. |

I am so adjective that I verb nouns!

I really don't think KK is ostracized here. She and Larry have bad blood. Everyone else pretty much takes her as she is, a poster with a leftist political position. I don't see a whole lot of victimization going on here, but then again I'm not a leftist so I don't buy into the whole poor-me-no-one-likes-me-so-I have-to-get-a-sock-to-make-my-point victimization routine. She chose to take on an Obama sock -- maybe for fun -- I don't care. I think it was a bad idea since she so poorly represented him and wound up attacking people and incurring a whole lot of bad will as a sock that if she were just speaking as herself she would have gotten the whole "I disagree with you vehemently", and undoubtedly in the rough and tumble nature of things here, but would not have had the added dynamic of being an obvious shill who hid behind a sock to make points. Keep up the good work as the smutorator and spamorator. I guess mods don't have the godlike omniscience and omnipotence I thought they did. PS: tolerantia |

By sheer coincidence I happened to be looking at the user list at the very time you posted. I noticed an interesting thing..... I noticed Jack log off, you log on, post, log off, and then Jack logged on again. All in a sequence.. So it looks like *both* of you are guilty of abusing us with your socks. |

I *always* go by the thumbrule that what I say on line is exactly what I'd say to someone face-to-face. People here who have met me can attest to that. I expect the same courtesy of others. If that ain't the way it is here, this ain't the place for me. I've got better things to do than be phony.... If someone says they want to see me shot as a traitor because of my political views, and I have absolutely nothing else to go on, then I assume they are serious. |

Makes one wonder what exactly it is that you have to hide, Sherlock. You're never on the active user list, not even when you're posting. |

Anyone who has met me will attest to the fact that I will do the same - and if I wanted you shot, I'd just shoot you. You chose to see what you wanted to see. No one threatened to shoot you. |
