a name is not a screen name...they are two separate things.

It would be a lie to agree with you.


to not agree with me is to lie to yourself ...a screen name is a fake name it's being dishonest ...it's simply not your real name it's a lie....why does the rules about what a lie is change when one log onto The Internet




when i say lie,what i mean is to try and deceive someone else with false information.if everyone involved knows the information is not true then its not really trying to deceive anyone as in screen names,sarcasm,etc.

You havent answered anything all youve done is squirm around and call us all "liars" for not posting our real names on the internet...How Duh! slaphead


And in doing so, has undermined his own credibility as someone who respects reason...at least to me...jmo.


Wow...you mean my credibility is considered undermined by those that believe that a false name on the my Internet is not a lie? ...please......if you choose to give a false name that is your choice....all I'm saying is since it's not your real name then it's a lie .....

as I said "Everyone Lies" in some shape form of fashion....giving false names on the Internet is simply one way people lie ....


Hmm. My user name is a song I enjoy. And if asked, I let people know what my name is. So, what's your issue? Sounds to me like you're just trying to find reason to argue.

there are many interpetations as to what a lie may be but no matter the interpetation does not make it truth ...all I'm pointing out is that "Everyone Lies" and jump at the chance to do so

a lie is a lie....a rose by any other name would smell as sweet

in case no one informed you...that is what generally happens in a forum of debate....each side present their arguments ...

just as you present your argument why you feel your fake name is not a lie..I then in turn present my argument why your fake name is a lie

so come on be a buddy be a pal and don't try to make anyone the bad guy just because you disagree with their argument...for that is the nature of the debate

No need to talk down to anyone just because you don't agree. If you'd like to think everyone lies, then go for it.

all I'm saying is try to act like your screen name and "singmesweet" ...so far you are not doing so...does that makes your screen name then a lie?

I don't use my full name on paperwork for my paychecks.


is that an admission that "EquusDancer" is not part of your full name





Actually no, I don't use my full name from my birth certificate on my paychecks either. Only first and last name.

The EquusDancer part has nothing to do with it.

The EquusDancer part has everything to do with it especially since you are trying to claim that a screen name isn't a lie ...to place EquusDancer on your driver license or on your government W2 form as being your real name would not only be a lie and dishonest but also a federal offense you may even do prison time unless you can come up with some better excuses as to why you used that "EquusDancer" name then what you have posted here in this thread ...

because to say in court that you used the name "EquusDancer" because you Dance with Horses may not provide a good enough defense that would insure that the jury won't convict you of something and at the least it may bring in a verdict of not guilty due to insanity in which you would be dancing with horses at the nearest asylum and because of such legal problems is why a person that was sane or semi-sane would know that a screen name isn't their real name and therefore a lie

I agree ...to deem that "singmesweet" magically becomes a real name because you say is the upmost of arrogance

That doesn't even make sense. Not quite sure where I said it was a real name.

So what's your reason for all of this? Are you actually bothered by people using user names that aren't their real names for some reason?

wouldn't my reason for all this be the same as your reason ....it's called debating ....

I'm not bothered that people use screen names but since the topic of the thread is about dishonesty probably makes it obvious why I'm would debate that point of view about screen names

if a screen names is so far distance than one actual name then what else is not accurate as it was written on the profile

Why would you assume that other things in a profile are not accurate because someone uses a screen name that is not their name?

I didn't assume... I was stating that it may be more of a possibility that since one uses a screen name and then finds ways to justify in their minds why it's not a lie then it may be more than unlikely that there may be other things about them that they may portray as being true which aren't, but just like the screen name they finds ways to justify why those untrue things are also not a lie ...I guess it can be refer to as the "screen name defense" ...the politically correct term for it is "a white lie"

It's astounding to me that this well intended thread has been hijacked by someone who's plainly obvious agenda is to argue pointlessly ad nauseum .

Amazing...

I think we disagree on the purpose of the forums. In the forum rules, you will find them referred to as 'chat topics' not 'debate topics'.


well actually you don't chat...you type ...


We often degrade our conversations into arguments but its not actually the purpose. We should not be confused if posters do not wish to argue


a difference of opinions whether one is "chatting" "debating" or "typing" is generally referred to as being an argument...


AOL defines a screen name as an 'online identity' not a 'birth identity'. Therefore, using something other than your birth identity for a screen name is not a lie.


sorry but I don't allow AOL which is an internet service to dictate to me what is or isn't a lie or when it's ok to lie


An 'email address' is not a 'street address'. That would not be a lie either simply because the word 'address' is contained within the term.


an address points to communication or point of origin it's not necessarily a street .....try using a fake e-mail address like you use a fake name as your point of origin and see if you get your e-mail


Even in these forum rules, (#8), you are cautioned against using private information. Since all members are accountable to these rules, it would be impossible to consider a name, created for the purpose of an online chat account, a lie.


a name is not private information ...as you yourself stated earlier in this thread there are others with the same name as yours
