Bosda: Your suggestion is well taken because who would be a better judge of asses than you my friend especially when you bend over for your boyfriend’s pleasure. Me, I would rather try donuts. ---

Sticking a hole (a doughnut) in a hole (ur-anus). That seems to defy logic…a bit counter-intuitive. Was that in a Dali or Escher painting? ---

Ummm…hold on a sec. renaissanceman: I was just kidding you. All in good fun. You seem to be a pretty good poster, and I really do welcome you to the board.

Relax, people! My take on skelton is that maybe he’s new to message boards and asked a legitimate question. So what if he got a little mad and said something mean in the BBQ Pit, of all places? Hey, if I can get flack for posting about Body Signals, and yet still turn into an SDMB R.E.G., maybe we should give skelton a chance to get assimilated. ---

Hey, uh, Sealemon, Are you gettin’ all gooey on us here? This is the Pit, man, where men are men and sheep are nervous!! Buck up, me lad, and stop being so goddam conciliatory! No, I’m just kidding you. You misunderstood me. Re-read the series of posts and you’ll see I was recoiling from Manda JO’s observation that I might have a dreaded disease. I told her I was bluffing you. Seriously, it was damn fine of you to be concerned, esp. in the Pit. Okay, everybody, let’s get back to spreading hate and discontent. ---

I, too, agree with Snark. That Skelton must be a new one. However, I refuse to give him a chance. As far as I’m concerned he attacked our signatures and must be punished. The important thing is that on 1 Jan 99, Stanford will win the battle against the Cheese team. Skelton, I don’t care whether you brought this thread to the flame dept or not…Your’e dead meat. * * * cry and the world cries with you; laugh and you laugh alone ---

No, no, no! You don’t post a reply like that with your known handle. What you do is, you make up a bunch of fictional “friends” whom you’ve invited to join the board, then have them support your arguments. [Inside joke] And it helps if they have strange names like “Twyla” and “Bluiicool”.[/inside joke] ---

Snark, I’m probably super-naive. Can I have a phony user name other than my own with the same e-mail address? which must be true-blue? ---

Skelton, I have two names, both functional on this board (“Snark” and the older “Snarkberry”). However, I think I registered “Snarkberry” with a different e-mail address than “Snark.” Once you register the name, though, I’ve found that I can use either name. Just to test this, let me try to post under “Snarkberry” right now. ---

If this works, that means that as long as you initially register under a different e-mail address per name, you can use each name no matter which account you are using. Here goes nothing… ---

Skelton, BTW, it’s generally considered undesirable to use more than one name at a time, or to post incognito (unless it’s funny). The example I gave, “Twyla,” was the alter-ego of a guy most would call a troll. He didn’t make many friends on the AOL SDMB by using multiple names. I couldn’t care less if “Snarkberry” vanished off the server forever. I don’t want to be known as a Kool-Aid drink, so I changed it to “Snark,” announcing that I was doing so in the MPSIMS forum.
