oh I have 2 regular personas but everyone knows it's me. And one more for when I don't want people to know who I am. Which most people know is me

And one more for when I really want to contribute something personal.

But that ain't lying, just self-preservation.

ImnotMamaGbutsheLovesMe · 07/08/2008 16:14

I am a terrible liar so definately wouldn't do so on here.

CountessDracula · 07/08/2008 16:13

Oh I did once say Cod was nice in RL which is clearly mendacious
But I figured no-one would believe me anyway

CountessDracula · 07/08/2008 16:12

I don't even exist in RL
that is how good a liar I am

I think there are people who have more than one mn user name/persona.

I reported a thread the other day for suspected trolling (which had become quite nasty/heated) and mn hq came back and said they were watching as it was a regular poster who made frequent namechanges to post troll-type threads.

I often wonder when we get trolls who they really are. Because I do think that most trolls are regulars rather than first-time posters.

filthymindedvixen · 07/08/2008 16:11

I don't lie on MN. I haven't worked out yet that you lot can't see me blushing or having fingers crossed behind my back

(Except about the amount of fruit nd veg I consume. I don't eat any.)

BlueDragonfly · 07/08/2008 16:08

no but i know of a few long term trollers though. or suspect them in any case. (no i will not name)

OracleInaCoracle · 07/08/2008 16:03

i dont think ive lied on mn, but i have changed my mind an awful lot. ive gone from a ffing zealot who SMA could have put on the payroll toa nutter who will preach to every pg woman i meet about the evils of ff. i also change my mind about ttc on a weekly basis

NigellaTheOriginal · 07/08/2008 15:57

i have no idea. tell me what i've saud and i'll tell you if it was a lie?
just use MN to randomly waffle although am probably too honest and could be recognised by anyone who knows me and now am getting paranoid as don't want to be spotted in cased i'v said anything embarrasing or controversial.

I lied once (on MN, obviously I lie all the time in RL or I'd be a social paraiah). To get opinions on something indirectly.

What the hell, we're already all disguising ourselves, I think half the fun of MN can be creating a new MN persona.

I resolve to lie more on MN.

EffiePerine · 07/08/2008 15:55

I am not blonde

though no-one on here knows who Effie Perine is you uncultured louts

mamadiva · 07/08/2008 15:50

Don't see the point ahve a profile page so can't lie anyway would be a bit obvious iof I said yes I'm a size 0 with blonde hair and I'm a high flying executive LOL

saythatagain · 07/08/2008 15:41

I am hard of hearing with a notoriously bad memory = utter waste of time trying to present an entirely different image to what I am in rl & mn.

filthymindedvixen · 07/08/2008 14:04

llareggub!! Don't be fooled! Zippitippitoes is a right ol' liar - her toes are very normal and not zippi or tippi at all

Flightputsonahat · 07/08/2008 13:55

I don't think Cod bought those Boden pumps atall; she just wanted links to cheaper versions, but didn't like to ask!

GrapefruitMoon · 07/08/2008 13:49

I had someone having a right go at me once on a thread about something I said, disagreed with my pov, etc, then a few months later I saw her more or less parroting my views herself! OK maybe she was just having a bad day on the first thread but....

LynetteScavo · 07/08/2008 13:49

I've never noticed anyone lying (how would I know about their purchases)

Have come across some massive U-turns, though, re wanting a baby/not wanting a baby/relationship with DH, etc.

llareggub · 07/08/2008 13:49

Am off to meet zipptitippitoes now! (not a lie)

llareggub · 07/08/2008 13:47

I think mine suspicious poster is different to yours, whooosh.

whooosh · 07/08/2008 13:46

Buggered if I can remember tbh but had female partner in the North somewhere then had big male romance discussed on here?Don't want to go into too much detail as all our resident MissMarples will jump on it
