many times so they can spew hateful speech, whether it's racist or anti-Semitic or misogynistic, that they feel would "taint" their chances of creating personal connections under their normal name. they feel they need to hide their words from their public persona, and creating an alt gives them a false sense of security. other times alts are created so "fun" can be had without bringing past posts and the connection to others those bring. i, as neci, could create an alt to go suck cyber dick in the fetish part of lit, without bringing the shame to the name that ties me to lit.
lots of times, people decide that this alt belongs to this person, and really it's complete heresy. people decide whom they don't like and state that those people have alts. on the general board, i wouldn't be surprised if people create alts that attack themselves, just to garner sympathy. anyone can create an alt, and unless you are actively looking at the IP addresses there is no way of knowing whose alt belongs to whom. lots of times newbies are labeled as alts of known posters in order to describe their online persona.
some people here have admitted to having entire alt armies. these people are high maintenance, and feel the need to role play their way through life. they enjoy creating and engaging in drama as a personal past time. in my opinion they are best left completely ignored.
