Be A Man/woman!

librasoul22 · #1 11-01-2002, 02:50 AM

To all the people who feel the need to get new user names in order to come on here and insult people, I say BE A MAN/WOMAN ABOUT IT! If you have something to say to someone, have some balls about it, don't hide behind a new username. I hate that mess in real life, and if you have to do it over the net, then you must be really insecure.

Lately, this has been happening more and more...bad news for the people that are doing it...it is OBVIOUS!

Don't make me start a roll call up in here. Unlike y'all, I will say what I have to say and I will not be anyone other than librasoul22.

I think you're silly.

Too funny...

Is it really that deep? New usernames? Wow...

Could it be some people take GC a lot more seriously than others?

People don't realize how unique their posting styles are... It's almost like DNA.

And it DOES come through pretty clearly libra's right

Yeah maybe some people need to realize that there is more to life than the internet.

People honestly do that other than the V's? I had to change my name because I was getting harassing PMs and emails, but if that hadn't happened, I would have kept my screenname.

I think they just overestimate their degree of anonymity.

ZTAMiami · #9 11-01-2002, 11:23 AM

LOL! This is exactly what I was talking about the other day. See my post 'GC problems'

I want a new screen name without my letters on it so I can post in threads that may be a little 'off color'

NOT so i can flame other people. Thats a pointless waste of time not to mention it takes the place of other interesting threads.

Any suggestions for a new name are welcome. I don't want to be anonymous. I just don't want people to associate my views with that of my organization.

I just read the thread! Sorry, I didn't mean to be redundant. But when we have people suddenly needing rogaine, people proclaiming to be the champ, you know, losers like that, it tends to take a toll on the sane GC public.

All I can say is, it's a good thing I never wanted to study linguistics, cause I am dumb as a post about this stuff.

ZTAMiami - maybe something to do with the school's teams or something?

I completely agree. That is why I try REALLY hard not to post anything offensive, because my screen name is very obvious & there a few people from my college who post here as well (including one of my sorority sisters from the same chapter).

I only changed my screen name twice & that was before I even joined ZTA, so obviously I would not have had "Zeta" in my screen name then. My old screen names were TinkerbellMTSU (the summer before I started college) and RusheeGirl (while I went through rush- sadly my rush thread was lost during renovation though). Other than that I have had the same screen name for over a year.

What a loser. You do realize this is the INTERNET and this is a MESSAGE BOARD, right? New people will come and old people will leave.

Why the hell are you so paranoid? Are you scared that all these 'new' people are invading your 'online' family?

It's just words on a screen from someone you don't even know.

Excellent thinking!!!!!!!!!

There are sooooooo many times when I see what some people post & think, "Eeek, they shouldn't be saying that while 'wearing their letters'!"

In fact, I admit, when I see a KD posting something a little too "controversial," I will PM them. (Just my nature...)

And as for all the "fake" people...just ignore them.
