"Rambi" isn't real, to me the person behind Rambi is But if you told me she wasn't, why would that hurt me in any way? Why would I care what you think about my thoughts? What possible weight could your opinion have? Why would I give it any weight on such a matter? People have said the strangest things to me. And I don't really care for the most part- because they are just aliases. You need to understand that for some people here that is just the way it is. And if some people want this to be "real" that's fine- but we can tell you it isn't real for "us". Then the problems will be when "we" interface and have differing expectations. Which I mentioned several hundred posts back. You can tell me it is real for you. I can tell you it is not real for me. You can tell me the murder of an alias is murder in your opinion (for example when SI destroys an alias) and I can tell you it is no such thing for me. You can tell me posting to someone who doesn't want to be posted to is stalking, and I can tell you it is no such thing to me. Seems to me we are doing the same things. But we have different expectations about the respect our opinions deserve.
