I may have missed some declarations or something but it just bemuses me when name changers think they are in the closet like Thorpie.

So is Foxy out as Lexi?
Is morganzola/talisman out as CJ?
Is Ammonite out as Fractelle/Severin?

Is it rude to out someone or call them by a previous name?

Is it hypocritical or cowardly or duplicitous to leave after making a grand 'statement' and then sneak back as if nothing happened?

OUG how many times have I said I will not respond to you.
About ten.
My shins are black from your verbal bruising but in truth I think you mean well.
You however often get face about on the horse and gallop off in other directions.
This thread was about bigger fish, but driven by events that took place I diverted it.
It was never my intention to hold ANY ONE on Houlies list to account.
I wanted to higjhlight one poster.
Sure am baffled by Boaz Davids shed full of old names,but not offended.
I HAVE BEEN TARGETED done true great harm, for not using my true name here.
After excepting the TAUNT/CHALLENGE I did say who I was.
No need to get further involved,but one suffering and being treated for an illness not to be mentioned, told lies did great personal harm.
It is OUG my view truly held, in all probability one for sure, two probably, post here under other names.
To deceive.
Lexi you know without doubt I support you, Houlie has again lost me.
But while I am as combative as any one it is not worth it .
OUG just for a second look at my post,understand this, do you think some should say or do anything they wish, then return using another name?
When I am wrong right, or silly I will remain me and hold myself accountable for my actions.

Dear Belly,

I know you're a friend and I am grateful. Not only for your friendship but simply for you being you. You're one of my favourite posters and that's because you've got integrity. Plus you actually listen to what others have to say and respect opinions that differ from yours.

As for name changes and the motives behind them? That's someone's private business and none of ours on a public forum such as OLO. People have their own reasons. Sometimes its simply to get on with their lives. They may have had an unpleasant episode they prefer to put a full stop - and move on, wanting to put things behind them.

Anyway, as I said - this is a public forum and people are entitled to anonymity because as you've stated earlier - we've learned from experience - divulging too much about ourselves can have bad consequences. There are some nasty people out there.

But don't you find it embarrassing?

I can understand the changing names in the first place, it's the denial in the face of overwhelming consensus akin to a person believing that if they click their fingers they are invisible and nobody can see them.

It's like walking around with a huge zit on your nose and thinking nobody will notice. Why deny reality? Why expect others to play along with your game?

'You're one of my favourite posters and that's because you've got integrity.'

Envying what you don't have. How nice. Much more integrity than someone who makes a huge statement about leaving and goes off in a childish huff, then comes back under a different name and wants everyone to pretend nothing happened. Even getting upset when people dare to point out the obvious. You act like it's some taboo topic and the people pointing out you have no clothes are the ones in the wrong.

You go on about people like Tony Abbot, you go on about integrity but expect everyone on OLO to play along with this imbecilic pretence.

It's pretty hard to have any respect for someone who hasn't the balls to admit mistakes and thinks the world should wipe their slate clean because they don't want to deal with it. Such generous kid gloves aren't forthcoming in return either that's for sure.

Dear Houellebecq,

Mind your own business.
Mine is none of yours. I don't owe you any explanations
especially since you've already made up your mind about
something you know nothing about. I have no intention
of responding to any of your stirrings, apart from this one time. I've made that mistake in the past. As for showing empathy to others?
I shall let my record speak for itself on this Forum.
I am not interested in inter-acting with you as I've stated previously.

'I shall let my record speak for itself on this Forum.'

As Foxy or Lexi?

Is anything about you sincere or authentic Foxy? Do you enjoy the self delusion of this Mary McKillop persona you attempt to portray in vain? Do you really think anyone buys it?
