Hi Somebody,
pm is private messaging, and pm'd is private messaged, that only registered people can do. That is one reason why I defiantly retain a guest identity. I am totally opposed to the system of uncensored Pming, or private messaging.
Wapos, you won't like, it contains a swear word, a it's a word I use so as not to swear around my kids, an it's also code with my friends. There is also Bar-she-whaah! but I don't use that here.
But while you're here, here's my idea for your thread on how to make this a safer more respectful place. :D Keep 'guest' feature, cause that's a level playing field. But get rid of the 'private messaging' feature.
I think the message that Pheonix disclosed above just about justifies my suggestion totally. :D These comments would then have be directed directly towards the accused then, and the accused would a) be able defend themselves, and b) know who their discreditors are. And I think a lot less nasty suspicious dereogatory comments wopuld be made, on the whole. People would watch what they say to others more. I bet if Dr G could shake all the private mesaages out of the closets it would be astounding/horrifying/ hilarious. hahahahhaah Now that's funny thought.
But anyway, it's all a bit tongue in cheek of me. :P I know it ain't gonna happen. But I can dream. :D

Phoenix, how about asking Dr Grossman privately about board identities if you are concerned?
If you wish, you can ask him if he can confirm that I only post as Portia too

Asking Dr. G to confirm identities does nothing. The same person can log on with a different account if they have more than one active on the same computer, or they can send messages from different computers (library, Internet cafe, friend's, 2nd computer/laptop in the home, from work) and show as a different IP.
There are ways around it, and there is just no foolproof way that will let one know it is or is not the same person posting under different indentities, if /u] they don't want it known.
Somebody:
Thanks CG. I wasn't planning on registering anyway. What for?
Hey, and keep dreaming! That's a great thing!
Gee, I had some really messed up image of WAPOS being something strange, like a disease of the micro-neurons, or something I haven't heard of yet. Am I relieved or what???
Sorry again anyway, Phoenix ( I just realized, after all of this time, that I have been misspelling your name- as to be expected, in my case).
I do understand that if people are playing weirdo games here, that it is very upsetting and might cause you to --- vent-- or whatever.
I deflected the insult and I am ready to make the same offer of friendship to you, if you ever decide to take it. No hard feelings.
My garbage is as valid as the next person's and you are free to dispose of it or look for recyclables and hidden treasures, as you wish. That's a given.

I'm sorry I just addressed one point in your post Pheonix. :D I'm about to rectify that. :D

If people feel unsafe here, this may give them further cause.

I don't feel safe or unsafe here. Safety doesn't come into it. But your comment 'this may give them further cause' seems so odd and abit liikem trying to make people paranoid to me. What are wanting to point out to 'people'? That this place is unsafe? That seems so odd. It's a cyber public place isn't it? I mean, I have no way of knowing if what you're saying is true or not unless the registered person you pm'd steps forward and confirms it. Will she/he do that. Then we can get to the bottom of this. otherwise it seems like you could just be trying to scare people off from pming? I said 'seem' please note, that's how it could see. Could the recipient of Pheonix's message step forward IN THEIR REGISTERED USER IDENTITY AND CONFIRM THAT THIS ACTUALLY TOOK PLACE. PLEASE :D
--- Quote ---It seems that a few things I have said in a private pm, seems to leak out- can’t imagine how-
--- End quote ---
Well back to what I've already said, it's gotta be 1 of the people you're pm'ing. Of course :D . What's so hard to understand about that.
--- Quote ---Just yesterday I had this to say about a person here: She must be three hundred years old to have all those experiences!
--- End quote ---
Tut tut tut. That's not very nice. :D Who were you talking about, by the way? hahahaha :P ?
--- Quote ---And lo and behold my words seem to appear in a little story, a parable, right here. Coincidence? This is not the first time, and not with the same person. So one wonders?
--- End quote ---
hahha Yes, and now it's not only 'ONE' wondering, but now it's 2 and 3 and 4 and more and even me. :D
--- Quote ---Who is who? What is what?
--- End quote ---
Yeah, I can see you saying you can't see what happened. :? That seems almost too niave of you! I know you're not dumb! :D
--- Quote from: Somebody ---Good Morning!
I heard something I thought was rather nice on the radio this morning:
"You're not getting older, you just need re-potting".
What a wonderful thought, really. Yes, we just need fresh soil, extra room to spread our roots, as we age. So our roots can get thicker and reach down deeper, hold us steady, get the H2O we need. That refreshment will likely liven us up and green up our leaves a bit. It would help us be the most solid people we could be and grow a little, on our way out.
A person I spoke with yesterday used to work as a lumber-jack where the huge, massive, 6 foot diameter trees grow, on this continent (spelling?). He was very interesting to speak with. I had no idea that such trees still exhist on this piece of earth. Trees such as those used by different tribes to carve, or burn out, into cannoes. I asked him how long it would take for a tree to get that big? "Oh, probably 2, maybe 300 years", he said.Wow!!! That's a long time. Think of the length and strength of those roots!! Imagine standing beside such a tree. How very awesome that must be! "How much would it cost to buy such a tree?". He couldn't say but it would be a lot of money. Yes, such a tree is of great value. Such a shame that we are not allowing the trees we now plant to grow to such a size. This just isn't feasible to supply society's lumber needs.
Still, the idea of re-potting ourselves as we age, sounds like a step in the right direction.
Enjoy your day people.

No! :D

Me either.

What?
--- Quote ---I wrote those words thinking they may just reappear somewhere.
--- End quote ---
So you already were suspecting that the person/s you were pming have other identities, and you were testing your theory. Very clever. :D
--- Quote ---Because this has happened before.
--- End quote ---
Well, then you were definitely right.
--- Quote ---As I said, this is not the first time.
--- End quote ---
yes, that's right, you did.
--- Quote ---Just something to think about.
--- End quote ---
--- End quote ---
Yep, I sure am thinking about it! :roll: And my very humble suggestion to you Pheonix. No offence intended, but his is your problem if it really happened. I' like it confirmed by the other registered user, actually, if you don't mind.
My other suggestion to you is to not worry too much about it too much. :D
If you're talking about people in a not very nice way in your pm's, you're placing an awful lot of trust in the people you're talking too.
I mean, you say this place is unsafe, and I agree after reading how you were discrediting someone to someone else.
And then :D , it seems to me that you're complianing after putting yourself in that type of vulnerable position with someone you don't really know.
That's about it for me at the moment, but I thought your topic was so interesting and weird and had so many issues involved. Trust/privacy/gossipping/ discrediting, I really felt it deserved my full attention. I am responsible for your own safety here, no-one else. So I guess I gotta be happy for my words to be repeated elsewhere.
By the way, I wouldn't say I'd be silly enough to get into pming with poeple here and not expect something like you've suggested happened to not happen at some time. Especially if I was saying nasty things. :D Never mind, it's good lesson, isn't it? :D
take care
