Is William a British/Australian teenager?

[Ethereal]

It could indeed be true.

It is true.

The only reason I went after William is because I thought he was one of Alyosha's sock puppets, and several other posters shared my concerns. And when I saw another account on another forum with the exact same poem in their sig line whose handle was "Queen Vitoria", I almost fell out of my chair. I thought, "Oh my God... it has to be her. She's pretending to be ANOTHER British person." Obviously I was wrong, but there were so many strange coincidences and the things other posters were saying caused me to be suspicious.

Oh, for God's sake. The forum leadership couldn't figure that up to 20% of the active membership was the same person for over a year. Let it go.

Ok. I'll take you at your word.

Not as an attack on you, but it is interesting how when we draw a conclusion we tend to grasp onto evidence that supports what we believe and it becomes self fulfilling. Police often do that when they convince themselves that a certain suspect is guilty. The same goes for conspiracy theories like 9/11 was an inside job etc...

Anyways, I'll let this go. Cheers.

Except given this forum's history this would be anything but strange.

That just shows that you didn't read what I wrote.

Interesting. Just what did you mean when you wrote the following: "It would also seem to coincide with the almost impossible task of finding forum leadership candidates from the right leaning side of the political spectrum..."?

Aloysha sure PSTD'd the $#@! out of everyone, lmao. What a troublemaker she was.

[The Xl]

And Ethereal definitely only went after William because he thought he was an Aloysha sock, he wasn't doing it to bully him. It made sense why he was skeptical, and I'm happy to see that William is legit and not an Aloysha sock.

She was a master confidence woman, she had ALOT of people conned and convinced. Think about what she was able to do and how long she was able to maintain it.

[William]

Can you? Without revealing what's privy only to mods?

What I wonder is why after Eth and William have come to terms you and I see others want to keep the animosity going. Do you thrive on it? Let it go. Peace.

Actually Chris, Dr Who was responding to a post I made before I accepted Ethereal's later (and excellent) suggestion to post the pics I did. She has always been very supportive of me on this board, and I appreciate that, and she may not have seen us coming to terms at that time.

I would really like everyone to drop this, as it is only leading to bad feelings. Ethereal and I understand each other now, and I think that's a good thing.
