AIBU in believing that posters should not cover up their identities by using outer egos, surely one ID is enough?

I'm assuming you mean 'alter-egos'...

YABU, you don't know anyone here even though it may feel like you do. They're covering up their identity just by being on here.

winnybella · 24/02/2010 23:37

at outer egos.
YABU

How dare you suggest this is anything other than my inner-most ego.

mylifemykids · 24/02/2010 23:38

at outerego. Does anyone have an innerego?

YABU - I know most of the 'regulars' can guess who the alter-ego is from something that has been said. I haven't a clue but it doesn't bother me in the slightest

Like BTR says everyone's covering their identity on here anyway

yabu

MN allows namechanging to protect privacy, to be witty or seasonal etc but not for inflammatory, malicious or misleading purposes.

If you see someone of namechanging outwith the guidelines, feel free to report them.

(NB the phrase you are looking for is 'alter egos')

WhatWouldTyraDo · 24/02/2010 23:39

Yes, Tyra Banks is my innerego.

StarryEyedandLaughing · 24/02/2010 23:44

WTF has tall people got to do with it?

Alter ego means 'the other I'

juneybean · 24/02/2010 23:48

Maybe the confusion lies with jackets? I'm baffled

StarryEyedandLaughing · 24/02/2010 23:49

Sorry, I used alter as in altertidude. which means height.

melpomene · 24/02/2010 23:50
