You're quite right, it doesn't matter a jot, I was just curious as to who Met imagined I was....
Its easier to confess, its supposed to be good for the soul. I am and will remain Chagall as history here.
The reason Chagall and all the posts had to go was twofold. Firstly, I felt I had shared too much information on TB, believing naively, that I had made friends here. In an effort to ‘fit in’ and be popular I became something I’m not, it's a habit of mine! After that naivety had been exploited in my real world I ran away, literally and metaphorically.
As ‘Chagall’ I was thrown out of CWDF in the Great Cull and became one of the founder members here. Chagall was an extremely odd mix of who I really am, the character became inconsistent and difficult to maintain, but at least in the virtual world easy to eradicate. The second reason Chagall was obliterated is because the thing I ran from in my real life had signed up to this forum and it is then I should have disappeared completely.
However, I found I missed the humour of TB, so returning for a brief time under a couple of different pseudonyms I finally settled on ‘Winn’ and an uneasy new personality began, closer to what I thought was me but still hiding and endeavouring to ‘keep it real’ a modern cliché but appropriate. Keeping it real is just as difficult as the older cliché of ‘be yourself’ To a certain extent we present an image of what we like about ourselves and want others to see and is why forums are so popular and also hotbeds of dissension!
Winn got into an angry mess because of cross forum (cwdf) personalities taking bites and my inner rottweiler joined the fight! She had to go and Romans stepped into the arena but obviously still with ruffled toga’s so he was doomed from the start and I decided to give up entirely trying to get TB to fit my skin.
Thunderboat however, gets under the skin and I found I couldn’t leave it alone and so I changed my mind with one last attempt to begin again, last because I have no more email addresses I can use!
Met, the choice of Changed Mind had nothing to do with the fact of Metanoia meaning the same, my reply to Jim was truthful, Im sorry if you took it as an aggressive action of a former sock puppet, but your anger over my “no pictures” comment puzzles me, I merely meant I have no pictures/photographs of my boat that I wished to share.
But anyway there it is, I am de-socked, de-frocked.
