Simple question about Dec. 11, 2010, and SJ.com

Your user name is only a few months old. I take it you are someone who has been in here previous incarnations?

 

What is so tired?

 

You are presuming a bit.

First, I am not asking anyone to out themselves. You are wrong.

Second, I know what I see. A person I recently noticed on here weighed in about something well before he or she appeared on here. I asked a question. There was nothing unbecoming about it. I didn't yuk, yuk, yuk, as you put it. Of course, I had a reason for asking.

I can guess who it is, but honestly, as much as I privately play that game (and really not that much), I don't assume anything, because I know I have been wrong in the past when a person or two we could tell was someone with history on here finally betrayed who they actually were.

I did ask my question with a purpose. Not in a yuk, yuk, yuk kind of way. I don't quite get the people with multiple names who come on here knowing everything about the board, and as has happened several times, MY posting history--referencing it, without telling me what poster or posters they were in the past so I could feel like I was on a "level playing field," when I responded, so to speak. I have left a history behind on here --perhaps for worse -- and that makes me recognizable. Others have too. For example, imjustagirl. I have a lot of context when I see a post from you, especially when you reference board history or someone else's posting history.

If someone doesn't want to do that on here, it's their right. Leave, come and go, change a name for professional reasons, for example. It's all good. All legit. Start fresh if you need to, for whatever reason. But I find it weak that there have been several people who have popped on and off with multiple names referencing history and responding familiarly to other posters, without the fair turnaround of others knowing THEIR history, the way someone knows mine.

That's my opinion. I'm not asking you to agree. And if you find it old or unbecoming, OK. I can't imagine why, though. I'm pretty straightforward about this.
