Warning to all Newbies!!! Shakespeare is a Troll!!

[Dixon Carter Lee]

The new poster Shakespeare is not what he pretends to be. I know for a fact that he has also used the names "William Stanley", "Edward de Vere", "Francis Bacon", and "JerseyHoundDog607". Be warned! If you get an e-mail from "Shakespeare" remember that it was probably written by someone else!

If you don't believe me just ask Ben Johnson.

DCL,

I have obviously missed something. All I have seen from Shakespeare is his posting of Sonnets.

Another question....There is alot of effort by older members to protect newer members from giving out personal information. Has this been a legitimate problem on the board? It seems obvious to me to keep some things private.

MM, DCL was making a joke playing on the doubts about the bard of Avon actually writing the works attributed to Shakespeare.

Hi-larious.

 

[modest mouse]

I assumed the list was a joke, but I still ask the second question.

LOL

Okay, now that I've finished laughing...


Yes, people have posted personal info before, like names, cities where they live, etc.

In the early days of the BB it was actually almost common to use a person's real name every now and then, if that person had already revealed it. For example, a poster anmed Raven had told everyone her real name. Months later, though, when she was revealed to be a troll, I used her real name in a post, and immediately regretted it (and removed it, after she asked me to) because by that time there were people "gunning" for her, if you know what I mean. So even though she'd given up the name herself, it wasn't my right to throw it about.

Same thing with Xxplorher...I used his real name in a couple of (very) old posts, and no one thought anything of it. Today, though, I'd never do it, because we've all become aware of just how many scary people there are out there on line, and I don't wish anyone ill will.

So, in the past it was almost common, but we've changed our mind-set, and to throw out a person's personal information is no longer cricket.

There was a guy here, Roland something, who actually threatened Lasher with physical harm...over and over again. Imagine if he could have done a search and found an old post where someone had revealed Lasher's real name?

I've been threatened by nearly every dweeb that's ever come here. (Shakespeare -- if that's his real name! -- once threatened me with a "happy dagger", the troll bastard). If I didn't feel safe knowing that no one has my real name or photo I wouldn't come.

And that's the bottom line...if people don't feel safe her they won't log on. So, the rule is "no more personal info". It has to be said because it was once common here, and is most likely common at other sites.

To answer your second question...Yes it has been a problem in the past (more than once) and it was very upsetting for the person it happened to.

LMAO

Unfortunately, yes...

the prohibition of mention of sexual activity involving minors in stories and of posting of personal information on the BB are really the only two big no-no's here at lit. Most everything else goes (you can catch hell for unpopular opinions, but you're still tolerated (see Marxist)). You'll see both of these rule broken from time to time and they both generally cause a good bit of commotion, but the posting of personal info seems to be the holiest of all lit commandments: "Thou shalt not publish thy brother's real name, address or location, IP#, telephone#, etc."

Keep the lord, thy Laurel's commandments holy.

DCL isn't "Happy Dagger" a new slang term for a cock ?.........does that mean he wanted to shag you ?

 

[modest mouse]

Thanks for the answers.

I guess I made 2 assumptions...

1)People (Including Newbies) knew enough to be careful about giving out personal info, in private or otherwise.

2)People in possession of said info knew enough not to post it in public.

I'm safe either way, I use an alias for legal reasons.

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

Could be. He later started comparing me to a summer's day. I nearly cracked him aross the face. Troll freak.

 

[Shakespeare]

HAMLET

HORATIO

And then it started like a guilty thing
Upon a fearful summons. I have heard,
The cock, that is the trumpet to the morn,
Doth with his lofty and shrill-sounding throat
Awake the god of day; and, at his warning,
Whether in sea or fire, in earth or air,
The extravagant and erring spirit hies
To his confine: and of the truth herein
This present object made probation.

-- Hamlet, Act I, Scene i

He wants you bad. Told you the "Dixon" part of your name was misleading.

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

It appears I have caught the conscience of the King. LOL

 

[April]

Lasher wasn't the only one threatened in that incident. But he did get way more threats.

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

Okay, I just receieved an e-mail from Shakespeare. Here it is:

TO: dcl@literotica.org
November 21, 2001

Dear Dixon,

When sorrows come, they come not single spies, but in battalions.

Bill

Okay, I'm taking this as a serious threat. I'm telling you the guy's unhinged.

His ego will never be the same. Well, atleast 'till Angel starts talking about the Vanilla that comes out of his ding dong.

And all is once again right with the board. *Muah!!* Goodnight everyone! *walks off waving*

 

[Shakespeare]

lmao...cheater cheater!!

ANTIPHOLUS OF SYRACUSE

Upon my life, by some device or other
The villain is o'er-raught of all my money.
They say this town is full of cozenage,
As, nimble jugglers that deceive the eye,
Dark-working sorcerers that change the mind,
Soul-killing witches that deform the body,
Disguised cheaters, prating mountebanks,
And many such-like liberties of sin:
If it prove so, I will be gone the sooner.
I'll to the Centaur, to go seek this slave:
I greatly fear my money is not safe.

-- Comedy of Errors, Act I, Scene ii, Lines 105-116
