GOOD Samaritans?

There are many aspects to any confidentiality policy that contribute to making victims, victims. No on policy is capable of compliantly eradicating horrific things like abuse. But there are certainly some organizations that implement polices that Fall short of doing anything at all. There called absolute morrow confidentiality!

Where has 'sam too' disappeared to? I was hoping for some more of those funny posts! (I suppose most of you have alternative ips and talk to yourselves - that's funny, to wonder who is really who around here *dons helmet and boots, tramps around abc checking passports*)

Well you seem to talk a lot of sense John, but I ain't even sure if our 'sam' is really a sam or not.

Who knows? I don't have a problem in anyone knowing my identity, I stick by my vies inregard's to the stupidity of the absolute confidentiality close that protects the offender and victimizes the victim. My contions is clear on that one!

I imagine Sam 2 disappeared in a puff of His/Her own logic? Andorra.

I decided that ABC Troll's should have an official name and so found this on other thread. 'omnirepresentative pseudomorph'

Do you also have a secret ID and IP, John? (As John, you are a good keen poster! but perhaps you are also, let's see, what would suit you ... maybe Bron, that's a nice soft brogue from the East, or Sir Algernon? I'm trying to figure out who everyone really is - it's hard!)

hahah - ah! omni - I will try to remember that, file it in my Ministry of Immigration office, we are really efficient, if I just move the cabinet here, and can - what the devil - ! I can't open the door! *tugs, handle comes off, door opens and everyone falls out*

hahahahahahahhahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahah as they say on freeserve chat pmsfl. nice one stormy lol@rach

I try ed to be a good troll, but being Dyslexic, my troll name was spelled differently every time. At one point i was: John, nhoJ, Jon, honj, ohnJ and many more. *Shit! Who I'm I*?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! That's really funny! Actually I enjoy your posts immensely, not only your sound, interesting ideas, spirit of goodwill and good humour, but to-be-deciphered spelling, too. But I don't know what IDs all the others have, now that I've found out they do - so I will have to keep TROLLING FOR FISH, as they say - though that branch of river fishing - angling - usually only results in a catch of pike, perch or trout. *gets hungry, runs to kitchen, lights gas, adds a little olive oil, trolls freezer, finds *salmon!*

*loses the will to live*

Sorry - *self-destructs* but seriously, is there any list of alternative IDs of members? so we could know who is talking?

John finds Liana's will and politely gives it back

HAHAHA Perfectly (mysteriously perfectly...) spelt!

No silly billy, thats the idea? some don't want us to know who is taking.. I think?

yes, but - OK - but I figured it was to have another identity, another voice for variety - for fun. (Unless of course, as in the case of the anon sams, they need to speak anonomously). But that's the first time I've come across someone speaking to themselves and patting themselves on the back, if that's what it is - so I asked, is there some system here I don't know about? where people have other IDs and everyone - well, not me - knows who they really are?

Now hears an idea! Presumably the id's of users held at ABC are cove rd by the data protection act. So they are convedentual...Right? But is this absolute confidentiality?? and if so..what if some person posted a confession to say murder on the ABC forum? Lets test this out.. Haloww.. Are there any murderers out there how need someone to listen to them?? *John what's in anticipation*

Me too. But what are their real IDs? the murderers, I mean? If we don't have a list of every abc member's alternative ID, they might confess in another name and then, Bob's your uncle all over again.

I'm thinking of becoming one John.

I just murdered an egg - to make pancakes does that count?

Nice point, though, ain't it .... how easy it is. yes, I quite agree. Different voice, different server, and you could spend all day chatting to yourself, praising, endorsing, making jokes, laughing yeah, yeah, yeah, but what's your point? They could all be talking to themselves ... !!! It could all be one ghastly gigantic person !!! *runs to another computer* No, it or they couldn't! Don't be so daft! *runs to another, throws tomatoes* *squish!!! ouch - holds up frying pan* Free dinner!!!!! Thanks, man! (I'm not against 'trolls' myself (don't know about the other guy), if by that you mean posting under other names? Don't see any harm in it. I'm sure I've said so - but maybe not. It doesn't matter to me, anyway, what names people use. I think it's quite fun. What I never like much is people trying to cut some decent person up into little pieces, whatever the name - reminds me, must see to those tomatoes. A little olive oil, turn up heat, toss, add pepper - cracked - sneeze - dance around kitchen, toot toot, turn on tv watch Peter Sellars being Scottish MC, pull rope out of pocket, hang around forum, looks mighty pretty, adds a single rose for each lady and a new IDea for each guy, roses get shredded and IDs fly around in air - oh,caught one, there's another! chomps, very crunchy puddin, coffee's too hot splursh)

Yes. Is your alternative identity 'sam too'? If so, over to John. *But this poster, getting scared of being murdered, hides behind Pioden's wafting aromatic pancake*

But the alternative Id's can be changed at will when posting. I know the real first names of some of the regular posters hear, because other users re fare to them by name rather than be presidium. If you look through the various threads, you soon start to see this, but that still doesn't matter because there stated real name could also be a presidium.

*This will make me sound so thick* So is that it? A troll is someone that uses a different name in a post? Really that simple? Dam!

what on earth is a presidium? Come on John.. you must be putting this on a tad, surely....

What exactly is it? And what's an anti-troll? I have never seen a clear definition, so I thought it must anyway be people who don't say who they are (that seems to annoy some, frightfully, but not others)

Where did that one come from? Dam I'm good.. False name then..

To my mind a troll is someone who not only uses psuedonyms but hangs around threads being either annoying or offensive or both and who you can't get rid of. Oh, dear, just realised I fit that category. *bites lip*

*looks behind her chair - looks under her desk* Nope there's no one here but me ! I have no alternative identity I have enough with the one I got ... I have now murdered the pancake *lifts up frying pan * Liana who should I hit first ? You do know I had to beat that egg as well - it was gruesome as it was already dead and I smashed some banana as well !

a George Bush pseudonym

I cant see that knowing who a poster is, even if they are trying to rip you to bits, is in any way relevant to the post. Speaking for my self, i would simply ignore such post that were con try to the spirit of the thread in question. Any one who hides behind an id, for the purpose of derogatory comments, has no argument that is worth taking in to account. Thats just my own personal vie, but hay! I'm still quite new to forums, so i may be talking out of my......... You have to admit though, these troll's can buck a thread debate up?

Hay John! Can i join in two? Shut up john 1, they will hear you.. No! you shut up, its my turn to be the troll.. I said shut up you F.....nk fool, they will.....'Get you're hands of me or I'll bash..... @;;'';;,'k';l,'lFu..k;'';lllkk,lom,l Now shut up!

Have I ever called you stupid missi? No, but I thought you had a sense of humour. perhaps someone has patented you an abc humour failurometer

Pi... When you're ready lovie...
