Ever lie re: your race/gender/orientation etc. on a messageboard? |
|
Ever become convinced that somebody else was for ill gotten purposes, yet couldn't prove it?

How do we know what truth is on a message board? We don't.

Right now all of my registration information to the Washington Post points to me being Harry Potter. I am not.

Untruths have no appeal to me. I have neither the time nor the motivation for subterfuge. I have had instances where I have unfortunately had reasons to suspect it in others. It's rather disheartening to say the least.

of mixed Arab/Chinese heritage. I am not a 7ft tall lesbian. I do not have a million dollars or a perpetual motion machine. I am not from Mars. I did not invent the internet. and I am not George W. Bush's cocaine connection. I have not done time in a Turkish prison.
If I have ever implied otherwise I regret the misunderstanding, it was purely unintentional.

19. I had a foaming at the mouth guy convinced I was chinese |
|
But that was on a filesharing program. I kept kicking him from my queue because he wasn't sharing anything himself, and apparently my polite message (a standard spiel when I did that, something along the lines of "Your client is not reporting any shared files, you should get that fixed") caused him incoherent rage. I responded a few times, maintaining a polite, even tone, and presumably my ability to spell and punctuate convinced him that I was... Chinese? I believe the word 'chink' was used a few times.
I may have suggested that his inability to play well with others indicated in turn that he was American, for which I humbly apologise.

20. No, I'm sickly honest. |

I have some kind of anti-deception gene. I have a very hard time misrepresenting myself.

21. No. It's hard enough being myself to begin with. |
|
In all my years on-line, in all the different places I've been, I always say exactly who/what I am.
I've met and made friends with a bunch of people I first met on-line. And none of them have ever been surprised when they met me because I turned out to be who I said I was to begin with. Disappointed, maybe. Surprised, no. :)

Some people may believe different things about me if I don't say bit I never never said that I was anything that wasn't. I don't think that anyone has said that they assumed that I was anything besides female which I am. I have been mistaken for different ethnicities and religions in person. Sometimes I have chosen to correct such people and sometimes I have not.
