You're right John. There is a certain irony in folk here moaning about dishonesty whilst hiding behind a pseudonym.

I'm changing my name to Ed Hemingway, John.  No Smilin', though...
Or am I lying?  Wink

I use the same name (handle) everywhere. Easy enough to look me up if the need arises. My real name is Dirk Westerfer. I stand by what I write, and own up when I am wrong.

You know what's dishonest?  Projecting an arrogant, bully personality on the Internet.  And yes, I don't know any of you personally, but these ridiculous know it alls more often than not do not exist in real life ; the internet affords plenty of anonymonity and makes people feel invulnerable…
I wish more folk would post under their real names. Gets rid of the anonymity probelm and perhaps makes folk think a little more before they hit the "post" button.

I used to post a ton of crap under the pseudonym Wee Helper; now I post the same ton of crap under my real name, but at least I'm accepting responsibility for that crap.

Moan over…  :D
No moan! In a way you're correct, not-so-"wee helper!"  LOL

My only nom de plume issue is that people switch identities so often.  The mods know by the IP addresses, but the readers and posters don't.  If you take a name, then stick to it.  Even if you get some flack (yes, flak!  LOL) and that is OK as long as it isn't mean-spirited.

This is all for fun, anyway, I think. And, a great place for those of us who suffered the slings and arrows of our contemporaries, in our choice of favorite bands, back-in-the-day.  

I've learned a lot from the posters, even if I don't share the same opinions, it is a great opportunity to see young people's viewpoints and even scholarship on our guys. It is why I love to sit in on courses with young people to learn their viewpoints on the world. Fresh ideas are great!

Oregon Rider was very forthright when he changed his name, due to his change in geography.  Cool move.  

You're ok in my book, John Manning, not-so-wee-helper!  

A frostly Smiley brew for you!  Beer

It surely can't be Stephen Newcombe. That's an alias if I ever heard one. Wink

I wasn't so much referring to hiding behind a pseudonym.  I meant the fact that the internet affords us the opportunity to be abrasive and rude since the consequences of acting this way in real life don't exist (and that this can become something of a "lie"). 

But, yup, hypocritical of me seeing as I fell into this very same trap.  Consider this my Smiley Smile coming out party!  A very graceful one indeed.

Just to "close the loop" on this sub-topic with my brilliant insights  LOL -- I don't think it's fair to equate a pseudonym (or the concept of anonymity, for that matter) that a forum like this provides -- with lying to people's faces in a job interview or on a resume -- which is used to acquire employment, financial gain and setup the initial bridge of trust in a professional relationship.  Padding a resume is one thing... flat-out lying usually ends the contract.

On the Web and elsewhere in print, there's a sense of comfort and poetic licence with all "pen names" -- that is not possible and expected in our face-to-face human interactions.  But regardless, we all still call each other out for opinions that miss important facts.  So my fist of poetic licence ends where it meets someone else's face of anonymous justice.

I agree Bean bag.  

Of course using an anonymous name isn't dishonest.

I just felt in pointing out the slight irony, 'cos I knew it would make drbeachboy smile  LOL

Spread the joy folks, life's all too fleeting.

My real name doesn't sound half as cool as 'Mike's Beard". I think the only solution is to legally change my name to Mike's Beard, then people can't accuse me of hiding behind a pseudonym on the internet.

That is true, but, if people are considerate and relatively respectful and tolerant, with a pen name, they will be the same, using their given name.  

Many famous authors used pen names;  Mark Twain was Samuel Clemens, George Sand was Aurore Dupin, Dr. Seuss was Theodore Geissel, Silence Dogood was Benjamin Franklin.  

It is a long list.   Wink

I said I would stop posting in this thread....but.... i... LIED!!!!!!!

Hm... good point.  It does provide some coverage.  But speaking from my own experience, I would like to think that I don't act as irresponsibly towards people in real life as I just have toward people on this message board (regardless if they knew my name).  That's what I was getting at; I was not suggesting that this is an overt, literal passing off of a false identity.  It wasn't that drbeachboy didnt know my name that allowed me to be a jerk.  it was the fact that the this is an impersonal way of communicating, and he wasn't a real person sitting in front of me

I got sucked into the role of the troll, which is a temptation many of us face in this virtual land.  I'm a noob with 19 posts under my belt, so lets hope there's some improvement ahead of me... umm Jack Reilly right?    Has anyone been able to find this interview online?  I'm not having luck

Mildly amusing factoid which many of you won't believe, but t'is true - although I frequently come across as an arrogant, pompous and condescending arse with all the tact and diplomacy of Caligula online, apparently IRL I'm just a cuddly ol' bear. Who knew ?  Roll Eyes

If I would use a pseudonym it would be "Stan Dorfall". I'll stick with the first five letters of my first name though. My full name can be found in my profile.

I was just standing in line at a store and the young guy in front of me had a tattoo on the back of his neck which read "Lying to Live". Kind of apropos after spending so much time in this thread. Wink

To bring things back on track to Jack a little bit here......
I've just watched a 2009 Dutch documentary called The Making of "Holland" and Reiley says this....

"I should mention... I was determined to push them to appear at the Monterey Pop festival, which we did"

WTF?

He's referring to the Big Sur festival in 1970 - in some circles it was referred to as Monterey Pop II
