@2late2be – Probably because this site is obviously a front for the CIA!

MCBeat's avatar

@miasmom so cute! @dverhey thanks, i just did that, now i can tell it’s fake lol. my hopes are dashed

DrBill's avatar

@MCBeat

Real house, real dude, real cat, what part is fake?

MCBeat's avatar

@DrBill that cat’s all fuzzy and out of focus and the rest of it’s in focus. the cat’s real, just enlarged via the computer.

augustlan's avatar

A lot of us answered with our real names in that question PnL linked. For the record, I am Lisa.

DrBill's avatar

@MCBeat

Cats are supposed to be fuzzy, and if you met Catgut, you would know he is out of focus, a bit dizzy and a whole lot dingy

AstroChuck's avatar

My name is Chuck and I’m a Flutherholic.

steve6's avatar

Don’t you have a better question, something you’re just dying to know? Do you know how many times this has been asked? Could you enlighten me as to why so many people ask this question?
My name is Stephen. What’s your last name and birthday?

Dansedescygnes's avatar

@steve6

Well, people answered it, so what’s the problem?

steve6's avatar

What makes you think there is a problem?

augustlan's avatar

@steve6 You did seem a little testy. And rude.

steve6's avatar

I was being sincere. I really want to know why someone would ask for personal information like that. At other times the question has included “where do you live?”. How did you perceive my response as rude? It was just straight forward.

Dansedescygnes's avatar

@steve6

People are curious. At least when I’ve asked questions like that, that has been my motive. I’m not going to “use” the information. It’s just for fun; it’s just something I’m curious to know. I’d be willing to bet that’s the same reason this person posted this question.

augustlan's avatar

Sometimes it makes people feel more connected, too.

steve6's avatar

I would like to know where everyone lives, if they are single, what they look like, etc. I don’t ask because that stuff is private and I don’t want to pry.

jonsblond's avatar

This question has been asked very recently, but with so many new users, can’t we just play along for a bit? If you don’t want to answer, you don’t have to.

Dansedescygnes's avatar

@steve6

Well, good for you. Not everyone is you. If you don’t want to answer this question, then don’t. No one has to share anything they don’t want to. But plenty of people did. Including me.

MacBean's avatar

@steve6 You should ask if you want to know. If people think it’s too private, they won’t answer.

(Edit: el oh el, everyone posted at the same time…)

(Edit 2: By the way, my name is Rowan, but I go by MacBean, or just Bean.)

jonsblond's avatar

@steve6 You know I love ya! Just play along. It’s a trying, but exciting time for us all. :)

steve6's avatar

You guys are still taking my comments as rude but that is not what I intended. I’m sorry if I offended anyone. People should show a little restraint before criticizing and that applies to me as well.

Dansedescygnes's avatar

@steve6

Your original comment was sarcastic. Sarcasm is often meant to be mocking or rude. That’s why I personally responded the way I did.

steve6's avatar

There was nothing sarcastic about it. I really wanted to know the answers to those questions. It may have been slightly off topic but not sarcastic. Also, to show my sincerity, I answered the question that was asked.

Dansedescygnes's avatar

I guess it was the word “enlighten” that made me think that. From what I’ve seen, 9 times out of 10, “enlighten” is used sarcastically as in “could you please enlighten me with your supposed superior knowledge, etc.” in other words, it’s usually meant as a jab. I don’t think anyone would’ve said anything if you had said “just curious, why did you want to ask this question even though it’s been done many times?”.

steve6's avatar

My vocabulary does tend to piss people off and make them think I am a smart-ass. Sorry.

Dansedescygnes's avatar

Well, 13 posts later I think the misunderstanding should be cleared up. :)

steve6's avatar

Thank you

2late2be's avatar

Wow!! @steve6 you sounded like I was asking your social security number… LOL!

Bluefreedom's avatar

I promised myself to never give my real name here in case I crossed paths with a stalker. My recent horoscope told me to live dangerously, though, so I’m throwing caution to the wind.

Aloisius Bonaparte McGillicuddy (a.k.a. Bluefreedom)

Trustinglife's avatar

Hmmmm. You said here in response to the question of what you wanted your name to be: “I was hoping for Aloisius Bonaparte McGillicuddy but it didn’t work out that way.” I’m on to you, Bluefreedom, I’m on to you.

Google, you are my sleuth.

Darwin's avatar

@Trustinglife – But aren’t you stalking Bluefreedom by doing that? At least a little bit?

Trustinglife's avatar

I merely stalk the truth.

Bluefreedom's avatar

@Trustinglife. Fast forward to now. After a lot of diligence and some unscrupulous behavior on my part after a month of trying (coincidentally when that other response of mine was posted in that question you linked), I finally found a way to make that name my own. You stalked the truth and found it here. Well done.

Blondesjon's avatar

My name is Steve 6. Who’s the fucker up there being a dick?

Trustinglife's avatar

@Bluefreedom I hear you, but I’m not sure I believe you! If it’s a joke, you do seem to be quite serious about it.

Bluefreedom's avatar

@Trustinglife. Sometimes I’m just too sarcastic for my own good. I need someone to set me straight every once in a while. Thanks for helping me out. =)

Trustinglife's avatar

@Bluefreedom Nah – just seems like fun to me.

Bluefreedom's avatar

@Trustinglife. No worries then, my friend.
