: No, Amamda, this happened before. : Someone on this board 'gets off' on false impersonation. : Discrediting others, and like you put it: undermining the true, original Patty's ability to express herself and be her own author. : Trouble is there is no law enforcement that handles this crime as it does in other areas of life. : Intellectual property law can only cover so much. Nothing exists as of yet to redress people's rights to use your identity on message boards, without others falsely assuimng ownership of it only to 'trash' their reputation and identity, thus making them liable for comments they have not said. : Devon : : : Greetings Patty....and whoever it is that is playing this new game.... : : This is odd: : : Either Patty posted the 1st and 3rd messages and not the 2nd, or she posted the 1st and 3rd messages AS WELL AS the 2nd - but, on second thoughts, has taken the 2nd message back again. : : Now, if she really didn't post the 2nd, then some anonymous person has taken it upon themselves to say what, in their opinion, Patty really would like to be able to say - but is unable to for some reason. This could have been either a well-meaning or a manipulative act. Either way, it interferes with the process of self-growth in any number of ways, but mostly by undermining Patty's ability to express herself with clarity. : : If, on the other hand, Patty really did post the 2nd message of apology - then her rebuttal in the 3rd message would mean that she has had some serious misgivings about her 'moment of weakness', and has decided to be pissed off and 'sickened' by this board again. In which case, she would also have been responsible for the "observer" character (created to cover up the fact that she really was the author of the 'misguided' 2nd post). Now if THAT'S the case - then I can only say that some of what she said as the "observer" may ring true here....maybe it IS a case of repression/projection....IN WHICH case, she already has her own answer... : : Having said all that, let me add, Patty, that you are entitled to be pissed off if you want to - it's a free board, after all. But why would you want to? I can't imagine that it feels all that good to be angry all the time. Mind you, I'd be pretty pissed off if someone posted something that I totally disagreed with under my name too - but you were pissed off before all this even started. What's all that about anyway? I really would like to know. : : Which leaves only one question: : : Why did you come here in the first place? : : peace : : Amanda :) : : : : : : "I'd like to know who posted as me." : : : Me. :) : : : "I do NOT apologize," : : : Yes, and you have lousy people skills. : : : "and I do NOT want to be a part of your sickening group." : : : Actually, this is probably a case of repression/projection. It is well-established in psychology that people tend to repress feelings inside themselves and hate others who have it, i.e., extreme homophobes are usually people so deeply ashamed of the homosexuality inside of them, they feel threatened when they see homosexuals. This may be the case, in that you have unconsciously repressed your longing to be in a group, and when you see a happy group, hate wells up inside of you. Perhaps you are the Six, after all? : : : "Why on earth would someone falsely post as me?" : : : Ah, the mysteries of life. : : : Love, : : : Your Secret Admirer
