As bon, noted it's useful to innoculate people with a little bit of doubt and make people aware of this dynamic (which is generally very consistent).
And as Dana noted (and Cindy just validated), it's a common experience in ongoing online communities.
The girl supposedly died, because (I shit you not) she sang
Fascinating. Did she have violet eyes, by any chance?
I think the little boy's name was DjoserYes! Although I think his real name was "Fictional piece of drama that I can 'kill' off to gain love."
I remember back when someone first asked me if Penlind pinged my Bullshit Meter. I was so innocent and trusting that my first thought was, "Huh? What?" Then my brain kicked in and 30 seconds later there was no doubt in my mind that everything was an elaborate piece of fiction.
Ah. To be young again.
The hashing seems infinitely healthy to me.
A very long time ago, at a do-gooding non-profit, an employee began telling folks that she was pregnant, not in a relationship and in very bad financial straits. Everyone jumped to her aide...some of them in similar shape. Call it spidey-sense, but I had a bad feeling about the whole thing. One of my best friends in the org was appalled when I quietly expressed my concern. We had an enormous falling out that was never really healed. It came to pass that the pregnant person, 'lost the baby' and as a result got even more money, sympathy and support thrown at her. I was the only one who did not give money (that I didn't have at the moment, mind you) and was roundly spurned. Another employee went to visit the woman's mother and discovered that it was all a lie. The nearly 1k worth of merchandise given (and this was nearly 20 years ago), had been sold for shoes and manicures.
The point is, THAT community did not have an open discussion like this and long-term distrust and pain resulted.

Gotta sing!
Ah, Penlind. Good times.
So Gus was a sockpuppet? Did I skip too much?

I'm a hasher.
And OUCH.
Ah. To be young again.
Oh, the innocence. And I can register everywhere with my home email address again!
Still unknown. Strongly suspected in some, irrelevant to others.

Well, he doesn't exactly fit the definition, does he? A sockpuppet is a second login to a site that pretends to be some other person.
It'sbeen so long thatI can't remember how this works. Would "kimi" need access to the e-mail she listed in her buffista registration to be able to activate her account with us?
