<snip>Hello Harsha and All Friends -And my question is this: Where on

the honesty scale, do we put using multiple personas online? Me, I

have this one and another older one that came first (it is used on 2

lists only, and I have never used more than one ID on any list), so I

am including myself in the question. And, I am quite sure, that many

readers here do the same, perhaps even moreso, but I am not singling

any one individual out, just asking a general question. One that I am

serious about.

I know the issue, there has been a time when i was the only "Jan"

on the lists d to but that changed, and ppl were exchanging

the poster's names. That was both nice (giving a free insight into

reader's habits) and cumbersome, so i did some research on names

to use for a new ID, even took their anagrams into consideration and

used Google to spot other users. The choice was "ecirada", which can be

pronounced fairly well in many languages and doesn't have other users,

according to the Google search machine. The name doesn't have a meaning

either :-)

 

Good way of handling it. It seems that now we are up to around 5

different joyces, so I am beginning to know how you must have felt.

And I ask what is 'true' and what is 'honest' in this context, when

people insinuate themselves into the lives and hearts of others under

falsified personalities? People might say that they use these

different personalities to advance a teaching - and i think that is

valid - i endorse and support it. But I don't endorse and support it

when people get hurt... And that happens, too. It has happened to me.

 

I know of cases of presenting an ID with the other gender as well,

and to no surprise, such action asks for a label like "having an

agenda for it". Operations, not possible or difficult with one ID,

could be termed operations from a "hidden agenda".

 

Yes, you are correct. And these agendas are, I think, for the most

part fairly benign, but not always... But, asking for myself, is

there something that has gone awry when we then take that extra step

and speak of truth and honesty while hiding behind our false

personas? It is troubling to me. And that's a truth for me.

What looks like deceit from one perspective is seen "purposeful"

from another.

 

Yes, again it is usually a benign deceipt, but if it is a deceipt at

all, how can the voice also espouse Truth with a capital T and expect

me to take them seriously?

 

 

Hence it is pleasant to know, there are nifty proggies

to check from where (which ISP) a post has been sent and often, that

offers a clue on the poster. But strictly speaking, that goes too for

a household of which all members are using the same computer.

Hence some linguistic skills (and intuition) are a welcome addition.

 

Yes, checking the IP address is sometimes useful. The part about

multiple household users sharing a computer has me smiling... sounds

like my own teenaged daughter and me... There are times I am sure she

is more non-dual than I am and would hate to see anyone confuse the

two of us online... LOL She has, on occasion, watched over my

shoulder and had some solid insights into the threads.

 

Anyway, thanks for your help again.

 

Peace,

Jan
