While chatting through the shoutbox with one of my female pals here, I found out I wasn't actually chatting with her, but was chatting with her BF! And likely have been for about a week or so...
That would explain the sudden not so friendly change in responses to some of the usual flirtatious banter I sometimes use.. which I find harmless... It's not like I'm going to meet the person in the real world or something like that.
I've always found that folks using other people's profiles or fictitious ones online as rude and offensive. While we all try to present our idealized selves here, there is a limit. I've been a participant in various online communities since 1986 when I started with Compuserve's CB chat, and I still find deliberate misrepresentation and online deceit offensive...
Have other folks encountered much of that here at Fubar? And if so, what have you done, or not done, about it?
