Just how many of the users on the site have more than one sign-in name?

[sft42]

So then is anyone willing to admit to using more than one name to back up their own point of view to make it appear more valid and that they have more support? or as previously suggested am i just getting more cynical in my old(er) age?

[j2buttonsw]

Why have more than one account? Unless someone could post something like this: question 26364

[xyzzyplugh]

Hoist by your own petard sft? or innocent? :-)

[sft42]

Even I'm not that vain or stupid!!! Nope sorry I'm not too blame for that one at all....in fact another user actually told me it had been posted before I noticed it....and anyway button don't you think you're time would be better employed trying to stop my internet explorer from crashing everytime i post an answer rather than trying to be clever? :>)

Guess that would explain the 'Convention' mystery - it is alleged that many attended but only three were spotted!!

[incitatus]

the multi user name thing is something that tends to crop up whenever someone gets a favourite point of view criticised...

[sft42]

Now Zippy as i attended the convention why on earth would i be doing that?? and to dispel the Mystery,allegations and rumours there were more than three people who turned up....and actually incitatus the question comes about from when I tried to thank another user for some info on the site that i found very useful but due to a badly worded post on my part (I think?) there was a few "other" users who seemed to chip in with answers some of whose names i have never seen before on the site....that's all, nothing more.

I am omnipresent and use the force and therefore need only one name.

[darth vader]

ps. you'd have to be a bit sad to have a pretend person who logs in and tell you how wonderful your responses are.

[darth vader]

pps. i really do bow in the presence of Quizmonster who is a)not me b)the god of phrases and sayings

here endeth my rantings

[j3buttonsw]

I agree with j2buttonsw (whoever he thinks he is).

[crowdpleeser]

j2w button, I am NOT an alternative id for sft 42, I just wanted advice on getting into music professionally.

[sft42]

Oh that's sweet!!! Unless of course no-one believes you crowdpleeser!!!

[Cetti]

It would never occur to me to use another name - not laziness or indifference - I just don't see the point, O cynical one!!

[lucylastic]

I think sft42 is referring to me in his answer above about not having seen me on here before. And his comments about a badly worded answer is the understatement of the year; he was obnoxious and downright rude. And no sft42, this is my only sign-in name. You may not have seen me, but then I haven't seen America but I wouldn't dream of doubting its existence. Admit it, you just like causing trouble everywhere you go.

[sft42]

Wow....ego-centric or what? If i remember rightly you weren't the person who asked the question that your refering to so what's your beef anyway? and how do you know that's the question I was thinking of?and how would you know if i like causing trouble everywhere I go if you only know me from this website from the recent past? Your making an awful lot of assumptions there aren't you Lucy and anyway i've spent enough time on this website having meaningless petty squabbles with other users which isn't the idea of the site.....if you want to enter into intellectual debate on any subject then fine even if we take opposing views, but i'm not interested in this waste of energy....as i apologised to the user in the question your getting worked up about and they let it drop, then why don't you also?

[lucylastic]

Hit a nerve did I sft42? No, I'm afraid I'm not egocentric; I leave that to those less qualified and if I remember correctly your complaint didn't involve the questioner but the fact that three people didn't agree with you and told you so. Your reply being that you claimed that these three were in effect the same person with different sign-in names (the subject of this posting). I considered that a slur on my integrity. Was there another occasion of this kind that missed by attention then? No I wasn't making any assumptions, not unless you make a habit out of being obnoxious (quite probably) and this was just one of many. Your 'apology' was only an after-thought in your verbal onslaught. And as for wastage of energy you've just spent a great complaining about it. As I wrote in another posting if we had to include our email addresses in our answers perhaps pathetic creeps like you who hide behind their anonymity would 'back up or shut up' and be forced to be a little more polite, if it doesn't come naturally.

[darth vader]

I thought this was a question and answer website, not a shouting match? Besides which you both smell so there.....

[lucylastic]

Perhaps those who are interested may care to read my comments on a question one or two down from here called "Timbucktu"

[drillhammer]

I've been reading these questions and smiling sometimes at the answers but not until now have I felt the urge to contribute. Darth: I've often regarded you as the more level-headed and intellectual of the contributors I see on here and I think your comment above does you no credit at all, considering one of the contributors is a woman. Your comment would probably give rise to a light smack on his bot if my seven-year-old had he made it. I take it you are older than seven?

[sft42]

Lucy as i said i find this tedious and beneath mature adult to squabble over such minor matters...i apologised before and i'll do it again right now (Sorry Worker) so let it go.....right now I have just had to endure the stress of the break up of a nine year relationship and being thrown out of my home and the effect of this is I'm having to move country! So forgive me if i don't put your thoughts foremost in my mind at the moment.......May I also draw your attention to the terms and conditions of use of the site re: Nos 8 & 9. Let's say no more on the subject and drop it please?
