    Smartcookie – no! i only know one person on here, and that person knows who i am and that’s it. I have NO CLUE who anyone else is and i don’t think anyone else knows who i am. (at least i hope so!)

    I’m always trying to figure some people out but its not working! I just can’t seem to place anyone here!

    people have found me out but i don’t care. i’m proud of my opinions and anyone who doesn’t like them stays away from me (personal experience). and if they stay away from me then it certainly makes no difference one way or another if they know ;).

    Why would you stay away from someone just because they have a different opinion?

    I don’t think I’ve posted anything so out of character for myself that I would care about being found out. If someone already knows me, they might be able to tell who I am depending on what I’ve posted, but that doesn’t really bother me. And BTW, I have 2 Facebook profiles, one for my pre-BT life and one for my current life. There, now you can all go out and “friend” me, LOL.

    #799716

    cb1 – i WOULD mind if other people besides this one has found out who i am. One of the best things about this is that its anonymous. and i can post my true opinion, and people will argue/agree and discuss all anonymously.

    Although i don’t think i’ve ever posted something that is out of character for myself, sometimes i have something to share, but i’m scared that someone who knows me will put everything together and chap who i am. Basically sometimes my opinions or comments would be too revealing.

    #799717

    When I was new to cr I told my friend that I finally made my username after being an observer for a while. My friend went on and looked around for a new username and discovered me. Another two people since then have figured me out because of my posts.

    I’d reply that while I do occasionally post to that web site, I do so anonymously and have no plans to confirm or deny authorship of a particular item.

    I’d like my ideas to be judged on their merit and not on someone’s opinion of me personally. Similarly, I would not want someone to pigeon hole my views based on posts I made on other issues.

    Kasha-

    Nope, this is and was my one and only screen name.

    Which leads us to the question, what are Kasha’s other screennames?

    I would tell you, but then I would have to kill you.

    This didn’t happen on YWN but a site that my wife goes on.

    My wife has a knack for figuring out who people are and two of the screen names that she figured out are sisters in real life.

    Anyway- my wife and I get a kick out of watching their discussions go on and on (apparently they haven’t discovered each other yet but they seem to be good friends).

    Doc Pepper –

    I’m fully expecting to run in to you one day, and the lightbulb will go off over both of us simultaneously. The only question is, will it be a scene, or a silent exchange, that we both know, but still protect each other’s privacy?

    Your sunday excursions seem to run along the same lines as mine, so odds are….

    Heh. Someone here just emailed me this week and told me that they figured out who I am. And they were right. I know who the person is IRL, but I don’t know who s/he is on the boards. 🙂

    Wolf –

    I’m not quite sure what to look for, but everytime I see a frum person shooting outdoor scenes on high-end photo equipment, I ask them, “are you a baal koreh?”

    BP Totty-

    I am laughing so hard as I type this. We took the kids for a walk over the Brooklyn Bridge last Sunday and we both predicted that we were going to see you on the bridge (surveying the new building going up nearby). Each time we passed a Frum person we looked at each other and shook our heads “no”. At one point a chassidishe guy flew by us on a bike with his beard flying in the wind and his payos we horizontal- we looked at each other and simultaneously said “there he is”.

    BPTotty- eh, you’re barking up the wrong tree. You should be asking, “Are you a ba’al kriah” instead.

    Doctor P.- if you read the general schmooze thread you would have found out that bP Totty doesn’t wear a shtreimel so i guess you could scratch out the chassidish part….(i know not every chassidish person wears a shtreimel- but still)

    Funny, as LAST sunday I was in Monsey, but THIS sunday, I might go bike riding.

    Still, my payos flying? Nope. Tzitis, sometimes, but payos are not long enough.

    But I’ll bet that the chossid on the bike was wondering if you and your family are the elusive BPTs??

    Hmmm….?

    What’s cool is that you don’t seem to care if you are “outed.” Either way you seem pretty comfortable with who you are and I don’t think you have said anything too damaging lol. It won’t be the end of the world if someone figures you out.

    i know some people here…ive been “outed” as it were…everyone i know knows my username is always bombmaniac so when they see it they know it’s me, i have nothing to hide. what i post here is what i absolutely believe (including the letzanus :D)and i will defend it in real life as well as online.

    Same here, Bomb. The trouble is, my kids / wife think its weird to have conversations with people that I cannot see, and also, the whole “chat room” concept gets a bad rap in Bklyn, so for their sake, I try to stay under the radar. Fact is, if any of my “real world” friends read any of my posts, they’d spot me in a minute. One of them even has YWN as his homepage. Talk about seeing the forrest, but missing the trees.

    Sometimes i wonder if anyone can figure me out- i try not to get too personal, but you never know!

    And BPT- its very possible you pass me on the street so if you figure me out don’t tell anyone!

    Whoa. Spare your family the embarrassment? Not even sure what you mean by that although maybe if I knew your family Id understand. They’d be embarrassed by your cmments? Why are like the black sheep in the family?

    I WAS kind of outed once, and I do not really care. I am not embarrassed by what I say, I try to be respectful, and really try to sound intelligent (though at times, I might fall short), so why should I care if “someone” knows who I am?

    I highly doubt anyone can figure me out- except for one friend who called me after my first post and figured out who I was. I would tell you who she is but have to ask her first. Then you guys can tell me if we are similar and fit into the same category! I highly doubt anyone else knows who I am (i have some friends who know my usename but they never go online so they wouldn’t know!)

    Dr. Pepper, I can’t assure you that we don’t know each other, because I have not been able to figure out who you are.

    I do think that I know which building you are in, but since your directory is not public (as opposed to the directory of the “other” society which is public) I can’t try to look you up.

    So ask him where he’ll be biking this Sunday and you can be a fly on the wall.

    If it will make things easier we can go visit Bubby BP this Sunday.

    That “wagon” riddle is driving me nuts. I’m not due back in the area for another few weeks, so hopfully when I go, the “wagon” is still there.

    And Oomis – I fully believe that in one angle or another, we will cross orbits when I start doing shidduchim. Just a hunch, but that’s my guess. Either an aunt, or macheteneste, or a neighbor, or co-worker. Somehow, I just see it on the horizon.

    hashemsprincess and I are very good friends and she spotted me in one second! after my first post she called me up to double check that i am “coke”….. BPT- where are you taking BP Mommy and the kids this week?

    squeak-

    You’re being very cryptic but I think I know what you’re talking about. I’m not a member of any “society” as of now (hopefully soon I will be though). (I still have no idea what the “wagon” refers to.)

    In any case the “society” that I’m trying to get membership in lists all the members of the other “society” in its directory. (They also publish a yearbook listing all the members of both societies.)

    Being that I can’t think of anyone my mothers age asking the ==>>Monkey Riddle<<== I’ll have to agree that we don’t know each other.

    “BPT- its very possible you pass me on the street”

    Hmm. lets see Blink; Based on what you’ve told us in the CR, I can construct the folloing bio:

    Twenty-something, articulate, sem grad, lives in somewhere in NYC, (probably Bklyn, but possibly Queens. Not chassidish, probably wore her hair in a pony thru HS (possibly still does during the week) and down for shabbos, and is probably some sort of special ed profesional. Non-confrontational type, but has strong convictions, and can express her opinion clearly and convincingly when called for.

    OK, Blinky, Ive got you narrowed down to one of 300+ people!
