Ok I know this isnt really an AIBU topic but I wanted an answer before I went to bed.

Is it ok for me to change my name to something very similar to somebody else?

So say someone on here is called chloesmummy- dont know if they are I just made that up- would I be able to join under the name of chloemummy or chloesmum?

I dont want to jump the gun here but have seen somebody who I think is same person with conflicting life stories.. Just wanted to check really.

im back- with a horse -(well everyone else has one......op ive ""neigh"" doubt that you are just horsing around with this!. so have decided you need some stable-ity and should get yourself a nice (horse)-box and have a wee rest! lol

if you searched the posts made by the person who's photograph you recognised then how did the other names come up? They were posting in a thread started by the person you recognised in response to that person?

Go to the thread and hit the red exclamation mark against the post you want to report.

Yes but thats what happened- because people have replied to hungrypo's threads as "Oh hi hungrypony I am so sorry for you".

SO the posters who replied assumed they were the same even though they were not... but what I dont know is- is whether hungrypo meant to confuse herself with hungrypony or not?

no joking aside! are you trying to out someone?.... if so why?

StercusAccidit · 03/03/2009 23:47

DrLove .. lol

I too am totally confused..this happens easily esp since i popped my latest sprog.. so i am in need of some inner peace

Here goes

I am passing this on to you because it definitely worked for me and we all could use more calm in our lives.

By following the simple advice I heard on a Medical TV show, I have finally found inner peace.

A Doctor proclaimed the way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you have started.

So I looked around my house to see things I started and hadn't finished and, before leaving the house this morning.

I finished off a bottle of Merlot, a bottle of Shhhardonay, a bodle of Baileys, a butle of vocka, a pockage of prunglies tha mainder of bot Prozic and Valum scriptins, the res of the Chesescke an a box a chocolets.

Yu haf no idr who effin gud I fel.

Peas sen dis orn to dem yu fee ar in ned ov inr pece.

I dont want to out anyone, I want to know whether to keep my distance from them when I see them tomorrow .

I can see that I am coming across as somewhat neurotic- I really am not, just trying to explain my concerns.

I have reported the posts anyway.

I just dont want people going to bed at night in tears over something that has happened to someone on MN- when it actually is all made up.

HungryPony · 03/03/2009 23:52

I neeeeed you to name names.

I can't see why you won't tell us who you are on about.

HungryPony · 03/03/2009 23:53

Go on, whisper it....

HungryPony · 03/03/2009 23:55

I'm waiting.

Horsewithnoname · 03/03/2009 23:56

Perhaps the poster had no name. Some of us don't, you know.

hungryhorse · 03/03/2009 23:56

OK I will name names- but will feel terrible if I am wrong.

But first I need to look at my posts to se whether this person will recognise me in RL.

drlove8horses · 03/03/2009 23:56

well hungryhorse i think youve just answered your own question there.... if you think this person is or could be a loon ,stay clear..... having said that im nutter than squirel shit myself. lol

HungryPony · 03/03/2009 23:58

If you tell us we can tell you if you are wrong. ATM, it's as if you think they are a nutter, so you are already in the horse manure.

lol they will know me... i cant say. I'm really sorry for winding you up- Maybe I will come back and namechange and tell you who I think is being deceitful.

I really would like to get someone elses opinion but if Im wrong- ooo I'll be flamed.

OP posts:
HungryPony · 04/03/2009 00:04

drlove8horses · 04/03/2009 00:05
