Why be 'Guest'?

<< < (4/6) > >>

Karin:
If you are more comfortable posting as Guest, Guest, then that's what you should do. I would also take no part in 'secret criticisms' via PM or to the 'management'. Does this happen?
My problems with the 'Guest' name is that I'm not sure how many Guests there are and therefore I'm unsure which one is which. Maybe one day you will feel more comfortable and will be able to open yourself up a little. For my part, I have nothing to hide from the world!

Lots of shouting down the guests happening here. Lots of wizard of oz characters egging each other on, and I wonder who's really at the other side of their screens. So much paranoia about guests. Why I post as guest is because my N found I'd been posting to this site and recognised me in my posts and that has made me very uncomfortable because I've wanted to get so far away from the criticisms. So I now come in as guest and I think there are probably lots of other valid reasons too why people post as guest.  Railing at us with a whole lot of paranoid accusations and false assumptions that  are to intimidate or get rid of guest is so wizard of oz. I have nothing to hide from the world either but I just want to protect myself from the N who once again has invaded my privacy. And N isn't going to stop me from contributing if I think I have something worth saying.

Well said, guest.   I was thinking the exact same.  There are
many valid reasons for posting as "guest" at times, that have absolutely nothing to do with "hiding something".   I was disappointed to read that very broad assumption of others, and what seemed like a negative tone.

Karin guest:
Guest, I didn't mean to offend you and I'm sorry if I did. I just wanted to let you know that it's hard for us to give you feedback and help if we don't have a way of indentifying you from all the other 'Guests'. If you only need to express yourself ie. you're not actually seeking a response, then fine. You say that your N has already recognised you in your posts, won't he still be able to under your Guest name? I can understand why having your N invade your privacy here has made you retreat. But that's what they do, they won't let you have your own voice. That's why this board is here, to have your voice heard and to own it as well. It does take courage to stand up to Ns.
I wish you the best.
Karin.

Karin he recognised my posts and learned my board name and so was able to call up and read all my posts about him. He's an N so of course he loved this reading about himself. He loved reading all the responses too. And got an understanding about my new strategies I'm putting in place to combat his control. And he rubbished so much of it. His only interest really seems to be if he can read about himself, typically N. I don't think I'll refer too much about him here in future but at the same time now he knows I don't post under any name I think he's lost interest because he can't read about himself and that seemed to be all he was interested in. He wasn't interested in any post that he wasn't the centre of. Rubbish was his reponse to heartbreaking stories of what N's have done to others and he said he wasn't interested, it's all rubbish. I've got a lot out of the certain contributors here and also from my own contributing here and have come along way, I now just want to be able to offer my perspective with the new babies coming here and some of teh more sensitive ones like you, if I think I have something of value to add that I think may have not been addressed. That's all. And if I perceive a new baby is being bashed about by some of the insensitive N oldies I want to speak up about that too. I don't want another Avery situation. Did anyone ever wonder what happened to Avery. She had been suicidal and depressed just before coming here and openly admitted her fragile state of mind. Come into my parlour said the spider to the fly. The N oldies were so comforting and encouraging till she got her voice and expressed a concern which was valid to her. And even that wasn't about herself but somebody else being hurt. She was always posting in a gentle encouraging way and look what happened. Do you remember? I hope she's okay and not gone back into depression or worse. And by the silence from the brutes who silenced her I doubt that they've given her or their bullying a second thought, beacause they still do it. Maybe she now posts as guest too, and would you blame her.
