why do folk need to hide using pseudonyms on ab ?is it insecurity?

[legend758duo]

after a comment from goody on another thread this crossed my mind.
why would someone who comes on ab feel the need to use a name not normally theirs , we will call it a fake name?
is there something lacking in their normal conversation with folk that makes them turn from jekyll to hyde?
i much prefer people who are honest .
in fairness they get more respect from me.
for example,and its only an example,goody anmd myself tend to classh over almost everything.
but i dont believe shes the type to hide behind a fake name , for example baddie , lol , just to get digs at me or anyone else.
it does seem though that there are more than a few split personalities on ab.

i just dont understand why they do it or what they get from it.
is it some perverse sense of superiority or just a way of venting anger at problems in their own sad little lives ?

[johnlambert]

you mean like all the "legend " computations?

[Pirate1]

I too am confused about this. We are all anon anyway. I just don't know why people come on here with several user names! It's very confusing and makes it difficult to get to know someone (as much as one can on the internet) and find a raport. Also I don't understand the need to post false questions, nor the need to get abusive instead of having reasoned debate.

well it's been said leg end that you yourself have many many ID's, and no, i don't mean the usual legend ones. I mean the nastier more evil minded ones. Obviously I've no idea if this is true- it's just gossip mind...........

[legend758duo]

how can i be hiding if im calling myself legend??

im sure you could be johnlambert 2 or 5 or 69 if you prefer.

but it wouldnt be hiding.

did yopu speed read the post or did it just go over your head john?

a fake would be if i was posting as dengel or leg den.


try to keep up with the rest of the class john. lol : - )

[legend758duo]

boo 2 is that you boo or is it boo 2 ?

i can assure you .
contrary to what i d i o t may post .

i have no other usernames apart from my legend collection.


sorry to disappoint.

you cant always believe the postings of a deranged mad woman.


shoes can get to you you know lol

[johnlambert]

Why do you, and all the other "legend" usernames feel the need to attack any of their questions that I reply too?

[Pirate1]

Look!!!!! It's deteriorated already!!!!! Can we have a discussion as to WHY people do it and not just accusations?

[legend758duo]

if youre replying to my questions.

as im legend.

and i oblect to what yopu post.

i then reply in a fitting manner.


as for legend1751 and legend666 they are fakes used by possibly friends of yours or someone elses to make me look worse than i already do.

are you keeping up johnathon?
if you want i can type slower.

i hope this doesnt turn confrontational.you do seem a tad slow on the uptake though.

[legend758duo]

pirate i did intend a serious debate.

but as you can read john would appear to have a different agenda.

makes me wonder though .........

[legend758duo]

strange that this post seems to move around on its own ...mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[Scarlett]

I have a pseudonym because if I used my real name people would search on me and find my posts. I also chose a deliberately "nothing" name so I wouldn't be judged!

[johnlambert]

Why do you feel the need to be patronising legend? are you the insecure one?

[earsugar]

i do it because sometimes i feel silly and like to post silly things using earsugar.

Sometimes i am sensible and use another user name, not really bothered what you think about it, not out to impress anyone.
