 CK1962:Is anybody else wondering if she is who she says she is? Maybe the real Rebecca Hanson knows nothing about these contributions
Some people have public profiles, this person is one such. Why don't you try mailing them and asking? I did that with someone and found out what I needed to know. Of course in most cases here posters are anonymous and completely hidden. That is probably just as well although it can have unfortunate side effects. The fact is, in cyberspace, we can never know who "curlygirly" or "DM" or even jabed really are, although sometimes some posters may try endlessly to find that out or make unfounded accusations. It seems sometimes though posters who break the rules are not always the ones who get banned. Often its a case of those who report are actually the worst offenders in breaking the rules they complain about others having broken. Whilst I may not always like or agree with someone I would defend their freedom to say it but that doesn't always seem to be the case here. I equally support the case put forward that there should not be this apparent discrimination between the treatment of those who are newer and those who seem established. The old guard may offer some stability but when they prevent newer people bringing in ideas,because they do not like change, then that prevents any kind of dynamic and the place becomes stale, as many forums have become very stale here. This is a big cyberspace. There should be room for all. Unfortunately some feel so threatened they cannot tolerate others or even ignore them. I hope this is sticking to the subject of this thread. I am not sure quite what the thread is about.
