I'm confused.

There is one poster, who I have presumed is a regular poster "in disguise" having some fun, and have been answering her posts accordingly. Is there any way I can find out if this is the case, or do I just have to go on presuming.

Obviously I don't want to out the poster, (although someone already has),and I realise MN can't confirm a name change....

But what if the poster who I think is having a bit of fun is a genuine person in her own right, as many posters obviously believe?

Have you asked the poster?

No.

Should I CAT her?

Is she on one particular thread or many,I have been thinking somewhat like you last night and this morning.

Dunno. I dont really understand

Someone has already outed her? So I assume its a fairly obvious play on her regular name? If so then she's obviously not in hiding, so just ask.

I think...

she posts a alot under her "other" anme, with a whle different persona, which I "think" is made up...as no one could be that ridiculous and pompus...or could they? .

Someone sort of outed her a while back, by saying "it's you Colditz, isn't it!" or something similar. But it might not be Colditz or Coldtits or what ever she calls herself today...it might be a totally differant person.

But this "invented" person adds an extra dimension to MN, and I don't want her to leave, so don't want to out her.

Or maybe she's not invented.

I'm not making sence am I.

It doesn't really matter, I suppose....

I dont understand? you want to know who it is, but you dont want everyone else to?

That pretty much sums it up!

But obviously that would be unreasonable.

Oh, do you mean Coldhands?
If so, they're two different posters.

She may want to say stuff under her other name, that she doesnt want traced back to her in real life.

If it's who I think you mean, leave them alone!!

They are great craic and I don't want them to go....

CaptainNancy · 13/03/2010 22:56

some posters have 2 personas- one for PMT weeks!
The ones I'm thinking of are quite open about both their identities though.

BeautifullyScreaming I don't want them to go either, which is why I can't say anything, but as long as one other person knows what I'm on about then that proves I'm not going mad.

Infact I would love to meet her in RL...even a bit of a profile would be funny nice.

This is utterly weird... but I have just come across another poster who has 2 personas... just found them on an old thread I was reading, but it's definitely them.
