ballpoint Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Why don't I have a stalker? I demand a stalker! If one stalker stalks another stalker does the stalker doing the stalking stalk the stalker being stalked just as the stalker doing the stalking wants to do the stalking, or does the stalker doing the stalking stalk the stalker being stalked just as the stalker being stalked wants to be stalked?

IanForbes Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 There is no question about that, jazzbo, but some of us just don't CARE what others think about us ... so then why the 7000+ ThaiVisa posts in a little over 2 years mostly about yourself and how many people you know if you don't care what anyone thinks about you? IanForbes.Blogspot.com would do just as well... BTW http://ianforbes.blogspot.com/ On Blogger Since April 2006 Post = 0 I have no idea what you are talking about with that so called blogspot. Who ever it is it's not me. I have never had a "blog" at any time in my career as a writer. And, I've been writing for magazines since 1958. People DO know who I am so there's no reason to hide in the bushes. But, the name Ian Forbes is not uncommon. There is even another one in the small town where I live in on Vancouver Island. How many times I post on thaivisa is indicative of nothing other than I choose to take breaks in the middle of my time writing or painting. I DO know that the name "ian" on the blog was written in low case, and I always use large case "Ian". Oddly enough, some "stalker" opened a ficticious pseudonym using the low case name of ian Forbes on thaivisa last January and started threatening other members with the intention of making everyone believe it was me. The moderators fell for it despite it not being my style of writing at all. And, I got a 2 week suspension for their mistake, and wtih no chance of clearing my name. But, like I said, nothing really bothers me. I can come or go as I wish. I'll state my point and leave it up to others to prove me wrong. By stating who I am I"ve met dozens of people all over the world who I now call my friends. I've got invitations to go everywhere and that alone is worth the value of not hiding behind anonymity.

This is great, Ian. Let me ask you a rhetorical question: Ever wondered if YOU are the reason for someone's anonymity? Your post above gives a lot of good reasons as to why YOU dont want to hide anything, but have you ever thought about the possibility that someone thinks YOU are the nut-case, thus the reason for hiding (and please keep in mind it was a rhetorical question)?

IanForbes Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 ]This is great, Ian. Let me ask you a rhetorical question: Ever wondered if YOU are the reason for someone's anonymity? Your post above gives a lot of good reasons as to why YOU dont want to hide anything, but have you ever thought about the possibility that someone thinks YOU are the nut-case, thus the reason for hiding (and please keep in mind it was a rhetorical question)? That is a fair enough question. I'm quite sure that many people think I'm a nut-case. But, at least I'm not a threat and I never take nasty comments about anyone... even when people take "shots" at me. That is THEIR problem, not mine. I enjoy a debate and don't mind stating my point of view. Just because it differs from the norm is not something anyone should worry about. I never hurt anyone, unless I get physically attacked. After that there is no end to what I will do... and enjoy doing.The only people I hate with a passion are bullies. I also have a long memory and I'm quite willing to bide my time..

jazzbo Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 'Jazzbo' of course is not my real name but it was a nickname bestowed on me almost 40 years ago by a musician much better than I ever became ... I do use my real name on many other websites in the international community wherein if you do not disclose information such as your organization's name and website you will not even have a chance to be taken seriously ... and as a one-man-show amongst large organizations, corporations, and government agencies it is not easy even to even get that chance. Except for providing specific information as to Visas, insurance, and other mission-critical data requested by other Members, on this Forum I have no expectation to be taken seriously... But if i truly did not care -- as opposed to being troubled by -- what others think, I would see no point in posting at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mstribling Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 I don't buy the " I'm afraid of TV members." I call BS. I can't for one second think people keep their privacy because their scared of some criminally insane TV member. They might talk you to death but physical harm? This place is akin to middle age men playing D&D. I think many people have groomed an online persona that helps them escape whatever. I mean really. Most everyone on here acts like a dick, but in the RW I never encounter people like that. Most folks in the RW are pretty cool and I bet that the biggest jerks on here are decent folk when you meet them. I think that is the alure of anominity. You can be anyone you want to be.

mstribling Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 I know what intolerance is but am to lazy to look up the rest. Not sure about experimental spelling. I probably just spelled it wrong. I think the alternate online personas are cool. I think people are more truthful when they pretend to be somebody else. I just don't believe anyone is really afraid though. Most folks here can't open up a checking account without assistance. You think they could plot some type of wrong-doing without posting about it. I can see that thread.
