    But now listen, I might be crazy but I don't pretend to have a million different personalities with a million different titles, jobs, etc. Yet, I understand - this is a writer's workshop. Beyond me!

    Who do you think are the same person?

    (That's a grammatically awkward sentence - I've looked at it several times and can't think of a better way to phrase it without sounding totally over-formal, but - it's awkward.)

    I'm fairly sure that one person is using a sock puppet or two (it wouldn't be right to name them here but i did report the suspicion to the powers that be) - however they aren't posting in this thread - in fact they rarely post outside their own threads.

    Never mind. This is an impossible battle to win. I'm just pissed off. Irritated. But that's ok, right? I mean I seldom post here anymore.

    Tks! yeah, that! I know what I want to say. Just don't know how to say it.

    It's one of those frustrating things everyone KNOWS is true, but no one will talk about it.

    And the only reason I have a problem with it is because it never pans out in my favor & I don't have the time or energy for 'if you can't beat em, join em'. Whatever. It's a free world. :)

    I'm actually relatively positive that you and @StayRed are the same person.

    I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure I'm not.

    Full disclosure, I had another account, but since I used to log in through facebook, and my facebook no longer exists, I made this one.

    Also, I go to school.

    I can feel the sarcasm in this, but I'm sticking to my gut. I'm not wrong.

    You weren't.

    You did a fine job of solving the case Sherlock1990. Seriously....we'd probably not had checked it out if not for these exchanged comments on this thread.

    lol

    GOOD EYE!

    Amazing how everyone on this forum I dislike just sort of gets removed (eventually). Two more to go...
