    Because I’m curious as to who followed whom across “the internet as a whole” for the purposes of defamation. You’d think that would be wider knowledge here, but I can’t recall anything other than a poster trying to get another poster fired.

    I was not, am not and never will be important enough for anyone on this board – or anywhere else – to care who I am or think I am or whatever.

    Still, I like the anonymity. But not so I can be some sort of keyboard bully/warrior/wannabe, etc. ...

    Now ... how long until someone Saints-jacks the thread? I mean, I was hoping to find Pat Swilling or Rickey Jackson.

    I’m friends with some SJ folks, past and present. Probably should be with more but I am super shy IRL and get inside my own head too much about not being a snoop. When I’ve taken the leap, they’ve been unfailingly great.

    LOL! I guess I didn't know what he looked like, either! Now that you say it, though...yeah, I think I have seen that picture somewhere before...

    I met a lot of posters in real life at the Seattle outing and a few more in Vegas.

    Generally, I’m not very subtle at hiding my identity, and I really don’t care.

    I come off way more dickish and argumentative than I am in real life but I’m way more introverted IRL (yeah, it is something that makes my job harder).

    For the most part, I don’t hide who I am much. I think the Bay Area contingent can probably at least figure out where I am (the who might be getting harder since I got out of the biz not that I think any of them really care enough to do the deep dive). Some things I hold back mostly because of what OscarMadison just went through. I don’t think I’m that much on some people’s radar but I worry. There’s a few things in my life I’d rather be paranoid about. Even innocuous things like travel I just won’t post because I want to look out for people with me.

    FWIW, my "stalker" wanted to participate here and felt they needed to know someone offline to be comfortable. He also hoped I could get him some sort of in with the Predators. After he finally believed me when I told him I was Wullerton to the NSH media coordinator's (at the time) Brent LeRoy, he disappeared.


    Hear! Hear! I prefer to avoid "interesting people." They try too hard and miss the utter face-ache inducing glee of observing humanity. My favorite guess from a reader was Vince Gill. I told them no, but the person inside the Gnash suit was Amy Grant.


    Same! And I figured you were female early on.

    I hear ya.

    Anyone can find out who I am through my posts via a quick google search, so I clearly don't care much if it's out there.

    Also, have I really been posting here for 20 years? Eek.
