The Alt Glossary!

[unregistered]

 

[Wings]

Think of it as method acting.

I get a different reaction from people when they do not have a preconceived notion as to what I am about. For example, Rob recently had friendly banter (on seperate occaisions) with two of them. How's that for different?

The JAJ seems to bear me no animus, but it was a fun moment when as a "newb" once again, I earned a coveted

I would love to be the mind behind Stew or Smooth.

When I'm right, I'm right.

You like me, you really, really like me!




[*]PS: "The JAJ" is the only one that I think had his suspicions about that poster. He didn't say so. I assumed it is because he is like that. Mayhaps, he and Larry just have a high creeper thresh-hold.

 

[Magnetron]

You're going to have to give me the tl;dr version because I'm not reading all of that.

Query is easily obsessed with pee drinking munky alts.

 

[Magnetron]

You know,

and you do...

if you

have to have

alts just to give people

that already know...

...what sort of in-

-sipid



"poetry"



you write

to give it another look,

maybe

you should



try


another sort of endeavor?


You were

going to

list all your alts,


weren't you?


I am told

admitting you have

them

while not listing them is

"creepy"​

I did admit to having Alts in another forum.

For writing more poetry.

[Lorilei]

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.

You're wrong about that.

 

[Que]

You're wrong about that.

So you know my alts? Tell them hi.

I guarantee you, you have never received a pm from one.

Just what sort of creepier than lit posters creepy are you anticipating in your feverish little fantasy world I might say to you in the open, in public?

Tell us about the sort of creepy that tingles YOUR spine "in a good way?"

If this sort of thing genuinely disturbed you, why do you insist on bringing yourself to my attention, especially when I long ago realized that engaging you in discourse was an exercise in futility?

Feeling neglected? I cannot recall the last time I had so much as two words with you, stalker.

Alt(s)???? CREEEPY!

BTW aren't you the very creeper that bragged that you or anyone could "easilly" get any poster's IP address?

Now THAT is creepy, stalker.

 

[eyer]

You're wrong about that.

Hey Queen Twat the Two-Faced! Get in here!

Give your progressive pal Lorilei there some of that psuedo-righteous NAME NAMES! crap of yours you love to serve to those you aren't pals with here.

Oh, yeah, I forgot...

...just like you testified about your "boy" verity:

I don't care what my pals here say, how much they lie about those I don't care for either, how racist my pals post...

...they're my friends and I will always have their backs no matter what.

You can thank me now...

...their progressive love for you just increased tenfold.

It depends on what they're used for and what the threshold for creepy is compared to other behaviors. Like, where does someone draw the line?

Something like Stew Pidd is harmless fun even though he's not a real poster and people fully acknowledge that he does have an owner with a main account here. So, he's an alt, used at the exact same time as the regular user is active. But it's okay, because....? Fill in the blank.

Because there are a couple of very genuine people here who put their hearts and lives on their sleeves. Like, among others but off the top of my head, Des, Garnate, Jelly, Fata, dolf, girlsmiley, Rob, quers, and Irezumi are folks I'd like to meet some day if we ever had a Litogether. I've seen them post on a range of different topics and I enjoy reading them when they pop up. There are more but those are just a few, who have shared themselves here and that would be interesting to meet. But I didn't come here looking for that.

I don't know, is it my job that makes me feel so malleable and laid back about this? Because I'm a professional conversationalist. I had some folks come through my checkout line today, an older woman, an older man and a young woman in her 20s and they got 3 carts worth of groceries over a series of 4 separate orders. And I had a blast chatting with them. It probably lasted 20-30 minutes with them and I swear to God, I was going through the motions with the scanning, the coupons and the bagging part of it. And everybody is kind of like that for me. I love to talk to people and meet new people. I've become a bit of a celebrity in my small town shop and it shows on Sundays and holidays as the lines get clogged and yet I'm pulled here and there, my attention divided as all of my "friends" come to visit me. I sincerely forget that they're buying stuff; I think they're just waiting in line to talk to me. And they look for me, because I'm engaging, I'm helpful and I'm genuine.

When I come here, it feels a bit like engaging different customers. I don't know my customers and I wouldn't hang out with them at a party but we share something on the cusp of friendship that makes the experience, them shopping and me serving them, worthwhile. Why can't we have that here? You don't like alts and yet everyone is held to such a rigid standard. I guarantee you that several people who still have a bitter taste in their mouth about TRW put me on ignore as soon as they learned that was who I used to be. Don't give me the chance to explain, the opportunity to apologize and that's alright, you don't owe me dick, it's your experience. But fuck if it's not lonely to be judged so harshly over a slip of the tongue or one aspect of your personality. Everybody wants to be accepted for who they are and to be able to let the walls down.

Let's say I was warrior queen and people are still messed up about me being a racist at one point. Forget if I have or have not recently used the "n" word. There is so much more to my life, to who I am, to the input I have. Would you prefer me to just hold back because if I ever have that one thing that does not meet community standard approval, I'm fucked for conversation for the rest of the time spent under that username. What do I do if I want to be talked to and accepted for the opinions that will be accepted and will be up to snuff? I make an alt. I use that alt to relax certain parts of me that you would not accept under the regular name.

Creepy? Yes. But not the person making the alt. The hypocrisy of needing to have everyone tell the truth all the time but never allowing anyone to ever make mistakes or be completely human. I just get it, is all. Not bothered by it, and I understand in an ironic way that the flash judgments and pettiness are a part of our humanity too. But when you have strong relationships outside of the internet, things that really do matter, I'm willing to make allowances, willing to disagree and then agree about different things.

Now THAT is creepy, stalker.

It's called being forthcoming with everyone posting in the forum that their private information is susceptible to being harvested.

With the exception of one person who asked me how it was possible, no one cared.

So ......

That person stopped posting here a few months back, though I can't say with any certainty why.

And due to lack of concern over the potential of such a harvest, I myself no longer give a shit.

Feel free to keep drawing attention away from your dumbness.

I know you can't help it.

Because you're dumb.

"Dumbness?" The one thing I do not lack for is an ability to vocalize.

So it did become Query-bashing. I'm sorry, everyone. How tedious.

Jennifer said she thought I might be an alt in another thread, as did LTR. So - whose am I?

I'll claim you. Get in line behind the others, and no shoving, or it'll be the work house for you!

Yeah, I don't get that either. Every time I try to have a conversation about it, everyone disappears, because this isn't the first time it's been brought up. Makes me think the concept of personal responsibility in the discussion of alts is a vain exercise. Obviously, mine or query's experiences are not the norm and yet there are so many alts being used here. Nobody wants to admit that the atmosphere fostered here might contribute to the production of user names for different discussions but they offer no other rebuttal except their repetitive judgments.

Why is it creepy to have alts for different discussions?

Because it prevents people from making their rigid judgments, that they might converse with a poster congenially, who in another handle is a racist or a freak about feet. It's not fair to "trick" someone into admitting there might be more than one side to you? If you're not being victimized, for your money or your emotional energy, if what they represent in another username is just another truth or even just a playful writing exercise, what has happened? How does it make you feel? How have you been wronged to enjoy the conversations had with that user?

Unless you have nothing else in the real world and you hand out your personal info to the first posters you like, I do not see how you have been harmed.

I am aware of the secondary definition, but who uses it, ever? Try "Idiocy" of "Stupidity."

Most people would say "You are dumb." not "Much dumbness you have, Magnetron!"

No wonder your poetry sucks, you have so few words in your lexicon.

A "Poet" Struck Dumb

That makes no sense.
Calling someone tha
you actually think is dumb
would be mean, not kind.

If I didn't find you

insufferably smug,

I might feel bad
about insulting your insipid poetry.

If by "kind"
you meant that
I would be too dumb
to know "Idiocy" or "Stupidity,"
then why the use of dumbness

as a noun

instead of simply
using dumb as you
subsequently have
used it?

What sense does that make?​

Does your sense of smug superiority really allow yourself to believe that your vocabulary is somehow more robust than mine? Really?

Even if, for the sake of discussion, you are saving up all the interesting words you know, do you think that any objective reader seeing no more than this little exchange between you and I, would be of the impression that you needed to "dumb it down" for me to understand you?

 

[DesEsseintes]

Query - I think that Littlefinger has posted some very interesting things here, which seem to me to align with a great deal of what you are saying. I'd love to see what you make of those remarks.

In other news, Yossi has made first claim on me as an alt, with a bid of 'No money and appalling treatment for life'. Any rise on that?

I choose to be a pretty open book, but as you can see that is to my detriment amongst the dross and refuse here abouts.

Let's say for the sake of discussion I wanted to explore a foot fetish as he suggested. No doubt that would be fodder for the losers that have nothing better to do than attempt to "out alpha" the other males here as Rob likes to call his technique.

Let's say that you and I were having a chat, a bout the differing application of political labels and I have an epiphany that tells me that there is something inconsistent in my position on an issue.

Maybe I want to approach Zumi, hat in hand and learn about his experiences. I am not ready to give up my entire political philosophy, but on that one issue, I want to have a sincere dialog, without prior baggage. I wouldn't. But I could.

One of the earliest posts I made in the GB was about how I couldn't see that the majority of those hashing it back and forth really had a good grasp on the issues so it seemed a silly place to be all politics and no kink.

Given that I still think that, simply removing all political discourse and refusing to be drawn in would produce a markedly different experience, but not from my demeanor, but because I would never have attracted the notice of the various "us vs them" teams that break on political lines.

A fresh slate is an option for anyone, anytime.
