"she considers people to not be real if they use a nick name"

Again, you completely misstate what I have said. I did not say they were not real, I said I do not know their reality (and I don't know the reality of people on SI who use their real names either, nor can I tell who is using real names and who isn't)- you cannot tell the reality of a person, from some words on a page.

I never said people were fictional characters, either. It's all so boring to go over this, again, and see in your posts the same complete disconnect from what I have actually said. It's pointless to speak about this anymore, and I dislike it when you talk about the "me" you imagine, and especially when you do that with other posters, since I find it amazingly rude- so I am leaving.

I find your posts wrong, and now I find them rude- wrong I can tolerate, rude I will not.

Good bye.

It seems X's new namesake was also comfortably distanced from reality.

"I am not quite sure whether I am dreaming or remembering, whether I have lived my life or dreamed it. Just as dreams do, memory makes me profoundly aware of the unreality, the evanescence of the world, a fleeting image in the moving water."
