I would. Got nothing to hide. But then I'm pretty bland on here. Meaning, I try not to get into heated discussions...not because I'm a wus but more due to the fact that I'm usesless with the written word. lol So I'm a lot more controversial and full of BS in real life. LOL

Wow CT that is hilarious. I wonder what people would say to me if I told them my username? hmmm would they say that they don't know me? or I was boring? or rude? SW, you are right. I am who I am and cannot hide it. WYSIWYG. Here and there.

Oh CT, that story is just embarrassing for that woman. How hilarious...to think people should feel honored to meet her because of her EW history. TOO funny! Plenty of people know who I am, mainly through Nappycino's, BFQ&A etc. I *think* I'm myself when I post on EW and not faking some persona that doesn't match in real life. I always loved meeting other EW members and feeling like we were already old mates. :D I'm hanging arond here WAY too much at the moment because I'm horribly 'homesick' for Dubai and my friends there. *Wave* at my lovely friends!

I do remember being introduced to a poster, she has always said I made no attempt to talk to her that night, she has become one of my mates here. She said I looked her up and down, which was completely untrue and I dont do that kinda thing. lol, always winding me up!!!

I see...with your comment, I think I've lost both of us. I mean some posters (NOT DIRECTING AT ANYBODY) post some of the comments they do because they are anonymous....and sometimes in real life some are too polite to say what they mean. Can't explain anymore...too many pancakes and bedtime....

Wise policy Sals. Don't ask, don't tell. I met a poster at a friend’s bbq who asked who I was on EW so I told her. She asked did I want to know who she was. I said that if she wanted to tell me ok. She then went on to say that she wouldn't tell me as she was often controversial. I said ok and went outside to were the bbq was. A couple of hours and a couple or 6 wines later she blurted out her username mid conversation (actually mid a conversation she wasn't in). I said excuse me as I didn't know what the word she shouted meant. She repeated it and said "Admit it you were just dying to know who I was on EW so I have told you. Just don't hold it against me'. The thing was I didn't even recognise her name so I said that and she was more than a little offended. She went so far as to say that I should be careful on EW because she was very influential with a big following. I said 'Whatever' and walked away. *She was strange in other ways too so this was not the worst of her behaviour that night* Of course when I got home I searched her username and read back on her posts. The reason I didn't recognise her name was because she is as boring as bat sh!t and never posts anything remotely interesting and certainly nothing controversial. If she was as strange on the boards as she was at the bbq I might have known who she was :) [i'>Un-friggin-believable but a honest-to-goodness true story that can be confirmed by a longstanding poster.[/i'> "Nowt stranger than folk" as they say back home!!!! ;)

Yes...if...... Maybe in real life some of us just don't say what we mean to say.....like.... I dunno...."no siblings".... Sorry you've lost me now, i thought from your comment earlier you were referring to how posters are brave on EW and would be diff in real life.

Didn't mean you to take it soo personally SW...;) Oh i was just going to say that if you were aiming that towards me you would be mistaken in your comments that's all and i suspect with VP , SM and LT that all those women mean what they say be it on a forum or real life and don't think they would post differently.

Actually, I think some of the braver (blunter?) posters are mostly anonymous to other EW's, if they weren't, they'd post differently... edited by Sugarbeach on 08/03/2011 hmm, wonder who you are referring to there.

I am curious but not desperate. I have an image of everyone in my own mind and would hate to ruin that. I have met a few and I almost always have them pictured wrong :) Yeah, you thought I was a tall leggy blonde with a figure to die for right?! And you, well you know what I was expecting when I met you!!!! :) This sounds a bit like blind dating :\:

I have been out and been introduced as my user name, not really happy about this to be honest. Its up to me to make that decision. You're right about that; but I don't think you have anything to worry about never post anything nasty....

Not sure about this one. If someone owned up to their username(s), would you feel you know them already even though you've never met them before? Would people be how you expect them to be? Better to keep the mystery?...
