I'm not wrong about xmiles.
When this forum was started, one amongst us thought they would give it a boost and make it look busy by posting under a number of different aliases.
I was never comfortable about deceiving people as such and though if and when the truth got out that genuine posters would be unhappy to find out they had been played as mugs on here.
However as this was the internet and naively I thought back then that like me, people won't believe all the read on it, then what was the harm in letting it happen?
Well as I suspected it did lead to all sorts of problems such as the same person using their 'multiple accounts' to 'attack' someone/someone's views they didn't like/agree with/or just for fun.
In the end I was able to close down all the 'known' fake accounts on here but I knew there were others which one or two had kept up their sleeve so to speak - this account being one of them.
As I've said above this particular account hasn't been an issue until recently, so I've let it be.
No doubt the person has had their issues with me with how I've run the site as fairly and honestly to all as I can - in fact I know they have - but we've somehow managed to get this far between us.
If people want to have a pop at me on the internet then fair enough, it doesn't bother me but if they want to do it via fake accounts then I'm prepared to call them out over it.
No doubt they have calculated that I won't name them because it will probably lead to the end of the forum if people know they are replying/responding to the same person over and over again who is posting for one thing as one account and completely against it at the same time from a different one.
The thing is though I'm past caring.
I'm sick of dealing with real life nutjobs like Wanderlust and certainly gone beyond all my patience with 'pretend' accounts like this fake one is.
