"Face it, you don't have all the facts."

That is irrelevant to the point of whether or not real people on SI can assess one another without interference from a mere letter of the alphabet! Nobody has ALL the facts. Must you be so evasive?!

"You have an image of me that is your own fantasy"

LOL! Sorry. I don't have any fantasies about you--not even one. But I do know you are real! And I do know a lot about you because you have written a great number of posts of SI.

Yes, you ARE real, X! And essentially you are a good person as is your husband. Of course, you are multifaceted like the rest of the people on SI. Humans are infinitely complex aren't they? You certainly have your demon side, and I have seen you be vicious and cruel on SI. But it does not bother me at all when you bristle and give the old Puffer routine!

Needless to say, we all have these aspects within us--every single solitary one of us. Just as we all share a human DNA. What matters is how essential or dominant particular characteristics are in the expression of our nature in the various mediums we use such as talking, writing, phoning, emailing, singing, etc.

One of the things I like best about you is your sensitivity, kindness, and frailty. One of the things I like least is the anger and scorn with which protect these good qualities.

You can say you are not real until the cows come home, but that will not make it so. No matter how many names you use, you will always be only you. You will NEVER be anyone else. And of course you will never be letters of the alphabet!

So go ahead! Take your fingers and type out that you are not real! Or turn to Cosmic and vibrate your vocal chords and compress some air into sound waves and tell him that the sound waves he hears are real--but that you are not you!. Just don't prick a sensitive area for him; it might make you laugh too hard. ;-) "ROFL"

Very likely it will earn you a kiss. Then perhaps you will understand that you are real!

Anyway. You're real. You can deny it...but you can't change it!:-)

"I don't know where you get these ideas. I really don't. The Whacky Idea store?"

You forgot to wrinkle your nose, the letter, X!
