Wow. I’ve been off the boards for quite a while and am happy to see that there are still a lot of “old-timers” here. Neat!🙂 ---

I am not the original Chimera. I actually purchased this ID from another man. He was not the original Chimera. The original Chimera had been retired 5 years and living in Florida. You see, the secret is the name and the join date. No one would take seriously any posts from someone who joined last month. ---

> [@Cat\_Whisperer](#): > > I thought I recognized the username. Yes, how is your husband? Still cheating on him with the guy down the street, and mocking him on the internet for being a clueless idiot? Did you do anything 5 years ago that perhaps you’d prefer not to be reminded of? If you look back to the OP’s posts from 4 years ago, she worked on her marriage and made amends, and is now trying to stay sober. Why throw this in her face _again_? If I were the OP, with such a checkered experience on these boards, I probably would not have announced my return so much as I would have tried to slip in unnoticed, but come on. Is she the only Doper who has made grave errors in a public way? I’ve read posts by well-regarded posters in which they admit previous infidelity and we haven’t tarred and feathered them. Do we forgive nothing for this particular poster?? ---
