I'm assuming I'm allowed to mention another forum here? It was Debate Politics.Was it the city data forum that you guys all left? The politics there have really become toxic.

I actually never heard of that forum. To my knowledge, it’s not against any rules to mention another forum.I'm assuming I'm allowed to mention another forum here? It was Debate Politics.
But Seadoug...are they really twins? Or just pretending to be, as Lewkat I think was implying?Please allow me to explain. Hamish and Luce are in a political forum and we are aligned in our political views. I don't know them other than that... certainly not personally. Luce was looking for a lighter forum and PM'd me. I recommended this forum. There are "roasts" in the other forum, so I can only guess they were roasting me in a similar fashion. Knowing their sense of humor I didn't take offense, but I do appreciate that so many came to my defense.
I believe they have left the forum, although I didn't encourage it. I do think it is important to spend some time in a forum and learn various people's personalities before jumping in with both feet. But that's just them. I will say I thought their intros were some of the funniest I've seen.
So, that's that.
Come to think of it, I don't really know. It was Luce who reached out to me, and it was not until he joined the forum that he told us Hamish was his twin. I've never seen a reference to it on the political forum. I guess I'm guilty of taking people at face value. It blew up in my face, but I've made mistakes before. Life goes on!But Seadoug...are they really twins? Or just pretending to be, as Lewkat I think was implying?
Bottom line...Are we being played?
Don't really care....sorry not sorry.![]()
Agreed. It did devolve quickly.In my humble opinion, whether you understand the point of this thread or not, this is one stupid thread! We all need some idiocy on occasion, but this one is over the top (or under the bottom?).
That's interesting, it didn't sound very plausible tbh but you never know, I guess anything is possible. I thought the intros were very funny tooCome to think of it, I don't really know.

Oh wow! That's amazing. I am ready to be astounded ....P.S. Hi. My name's Kate and I live in Moscow. I am one of a set of triplets and I can prove it with a picture. (Should be fun playing with AI today to make that happen.) I can spin tales that will astound you.
Neither... there's actually a Moscow in my state.Wait! Your avatar thingy says Mid-Atlantic, US - has Moscow moved or are you a fibber?![]()
..but is yur name really Kate ?Neither... there's actually a Moscow in my state.Moscow, Pennsylvania - Wikipedia
However, I don't live there... that's how easy it is to say we live somewhere, what our gender is, whether or not we have identical siblings, etc. etc. We can say anything... it's up to the reader to believe or not believe.
Gee, I assume you wouldn't believe that my name is Anastasia Natasha then, either, huh?![]()
Most are shocked to learn my name is Squatting Dog...but is yur name really Kate ?
My name is not Holly.. Hollydolly.. is just my forum name and has been for 12 years here ... people are always shocked to learn that fact.....whch I always think is funny...
I know.. I mean how could they be shocked... ?Most are shocked to learn my name is Squatting Dog.
well.......... maybe not
Since I see the thread is continuing I will say that they are two very separate entities in the political forum that have separate avatars and profiles. Very few members discuss anything personal in that forum so who am I to say they aren't brothers or twins? I don't think we were being "punked".But Seadoug...are they really twins? Or just pretending to be, as Lewkat I think was implying?

Well, I don't think you made a mistake. You acted in good faith. If the two guys are really one guy or just trying to mess around with us, they are the ones who made the mistake. If they are who they claim to be, then no mistakes were made at all.Come to think of it, I don't really know. It was Luce who reached out to me, and it was not until he joined the forum that he told us Hamish was his twin. I've never seen a reference to it on the political forum. I guess I'm guilty of taking people at face value. It blew up in my face, but I've made mistakes before. Life goes on!
I'm still in touch with Luce in the other forum and although I wish he would give it another shot I don't think he sees SF as a good fit. I don't think he and Hamish will return but I would be pleasantly surprised if they did.Hamish and Luce - please don't feel you have to go or we want you to go just because one thread didnt hit the mark.![]()
It's exactly the same in a pub... You come quietly a few times have a drink see who is who, get the feel of the atmosphere , see who are the loud ones, see who are the jokers.. who the drunks' are, the troublemakers .. see if theres anything that makes you uncomfortable.. before you start making your presence known, and be accepted by the regulars... ..Entering a new forum is like your first days at a new job or your first day at a new school. You come in a bit quietly, scout out the atmosphere, put out a feeler or two. Then you join in the conversation, working up to it. After you've sussed out the vibe, then you start making yourself known and find your place in the crowd.
Coming in with all guns a-blastin' away seldom gets you warmly welcomed.
