You're even better than an alt...

...you've been two completely different GB personalities under the same username.

Remember how when you first showed-up whining about your husband and bozos like pete and boynextdoor00 immediately hit hard on you, even though you were also overtly pushing your Joel Osteenesque Jesus deal at the same time...

...and I ragged you to at least keep your harlot relationships behind PM doors?

But now, after submitting to the Twatterville crowd here about how uncool all that overt Jesus talk you had going on was, you offer no more of that Jesus stuff, you quit gossiping about your husband publicly here, and you've done mostly a good job keeping your harlot self behind PM doors...

...btw: how's pete?


Ravi64 is that you?
 
:)

Why on earth would that make people not like you? You're a human being who has had big, frightening, complicated events happen to you and you've come out the other side decent and thoughtful and intelligent.

I suppose so. At the very least, I realized what was making me so unhappy back then. But I was dumb, looking for drama, looking for trouble and I guess I just assumed with people's long memories, that I would not be forgiven.

I mean, that's alright, that's fine. I get it and I understand. This place is important to a lot of people and over the past few weeks, writing my book and coming back here to chill out in between grating out shavings of myself into words on these pages, I've become extremely fond of the atmosphere and relationships fostered here. So, I do understand how at the time, I shat on that.
 
Seriously if he was just fucking around with me I can handle that. He really did listen to me at a time when I needed that. It saddened me when I heard he had died. I would rather know he is a prick and alive then my friend and dead. Is he really alive?

I thought he'd given up his Ravi schtick, but maybe he was doing that behind closed doors. And I'd not seen Ravi posting for years, nor InOralOffice. His most recent persona has been troubledone, maybe check that one for recent activity. I highly doubt he died, but there's no way to really know. Why would his brother email you? :confused:

HungDavid was not Ravi 1, 2, or 3.

Althought creepy in his own right, more of a joke wih his fake pics.
 
Reading this made a chill run up my spine, and not in a good way. Your creepiness quotient has increased a hundredfold.
I got a text while I was making dinner. You aren't the only one query just completely creeped out. He did himself no favors by posting that.
He seems to think we can't figure it out by his posting style.
How the fuck can he post as an alt when query lives here 24/7? I'm seriously asking. Dude needs......something. Anything.
Please could this not turn into a Query-bashing thread? There are so many other places for that. I'd like this to be more free-form, everyone-bashing, ideally. :D
You're not my mom! :mad:

Could someone, anyone explain to me why people seemed to care so much if Bert was Ann or Ann was Bert?

He e-mailed me from Ravi's computer, supposedly, because I had several e-mails in the inbox. He was notifying people from Ravi's e-mail list.

If it didn't have a link to his obituary, don't believe it.

Every so often, someone appears on the GB and announces the death of a spouse, sibling, or friend. If it's real, there is always someone who knew them well enough to vouch for the facts.

If there was no one who knew them that well, it pretty much settles it.
 
All correct guesses will be entered in drawing and the winner gets a nice dinette set.

I truly am curious. I don't pay that much attention to posting style or whatever else people use to make up their minds someone is someone else. Maybe i should pay more attention, because some folks act as though it's a life and death matter. Is it?

I don't think anyone really cares as in a "cares" kinda caring.

It's just putting a spotlight on the blatant ubiquity and constant, droning, disposable bullshit of the persona. Which comes in cycles, in repeating iterations. Wasn't the first alt, won't be the last.

Some people use alts for the sporadic fun of it all.

Other people have...issues. :eek:

This.

And really how is the brother gonna find an email account that is most likely not his personal one.

What'd he die from?
 
Last time(s) I saw 'troubledone' he was hanging around the 'post your face' thread endlessly, without ever posting his own. I pointed this out once or twice and he ignored me.

Hmm... I had dealings with troubledone (haha.. My autocorrect made that troublesome:D) but I found him so boring and I'm pretty flakey about returning PMs so....
 
I made an alt on a slow news day about 5 years ago. It was a rabble rousing alt in which I pretended to be a spouse who had stumbled upon Lit and found my partner was on here sexting people, perhaps meeting up but I wasn't sure. I just did it to see the reaction. Many of the "nice" people here were downright viscous. Many just wanted to solved the mystery of who was being exposed, drama whores. Some guessed that it was a current member who was bored. I can't remember the name because I only used it for a day. I think the name was a play on the movie title Eyes Wide Shut.

This is the classic definition of a 'troll' alt. The point of this kind of troll is not to target or harass a specific person. It is more to get a rise out of a community. Not something that interests me, specifically, but I appreciate it when it is done well to interesting effect. Maybe I will try that one next.

The term comes from fishing where you drag some bait through the water and see who bites.

FWIW, I am quite sure that going back years, none of my alts had the least bit of interest in interacting with Lorelei, but I do appreciate her breathless endorsement.

That's a likely outcome of posting on a porn board. Lots of nice people like to get a little sticky from time to time. The JAJ can't stop going on about that time he was sticky.
(I waited hours for this to be corrected but couldn't stand it any more when Query quoted it.)

I doubt any of us here can claim with a straight face, that we aren't guilty of being exactly what you describe, and yet some are accused of being alts, while others never are, or have been. Why is that? Why do, for instance, I get a pass on the alt accusations, and yet, Ann does not?

Or maybe I haven't gotten a pass, I just don't remember ever being accused of having multiple alts/accounts.
 
If you keep trying on new personas in a crowd of people that hasn't wholly embraced you, it is only logical and a matter of time before Everyone accepts you as one of their own.
