Mummat 1867 – your info sounds alot like mine – widowed, not used to these chats etc. Sorry you lost your 9-yr partner, that’s a long time. I lost mine too, after 10 yrs., it rough. Look after yourself!
I’ve been a member here for just over 2 years and something is really baffling me. Now i’m not starting this topic to cause anyone to get irritated I just want to understand. Why do some people in chatrooms have 2 totally different names logged in at the same time? I know sometimes a name gets stuck so they will come back in with a modification of their chatname, that’s not what I mean. Let me explain…… I have an instant ignore list, to stop any aggro toward myself and room disruption in general, I used to just use ignore, but now use “ignore by ip”, sometimes I will place a chatter on ignore and two names, totally different ones will go on ignore. i’m not going to give examples because I don’t want people to think i’m “stirring”. but….. I have trouble sometimes keeping up in one name why on earth do people use two?
If it’s not a psych problem (split personality lol) then I assume they just don’t care how annoying is can be to people, and do as they please. It’s a symptom of the isolating e-age.
I’m a new member but in other chat room I’ve found the same irritating problem. It’s a symptom of the e-age I’d say – where people can say they’re anyone, be anyone, they let their phoniness come out and don’t realize they affect people negatively. I really haven’t a clue why they do it, but in some cases maybe they really have a psych problem. In others, it could simply be shyness, but I doubt it. Seems they’re just dishonest I’m afraid. Too bad.
As a newbie I got a few “Page down” notices before it worked.
Hope to make many UK friends, being from USA, Inc as I call it here. I love Britain and was engaged to marry there, move there, live there for the rest of my time. Anyway just wanted to chime in wherever I can. Thanks for the time!
May all my British friends enjoy the season and keep an upbeat attitude. It’s hard for some at this time, here in the USA, Inc., I just lost a brother, then 10 days later a sister, and in Feb I lost my dearest friend in life, he was from Leeds. It’ll be a lonely difficult time but I know if YOU guys can do it, there’s hope for me and every other soul who may be hurting. Bless you all
