do we really need to have ID's

azharm
By azharm

Hi QL fellows, please help me understand the reality of ID's that we use to introduce ourselves in QL.
I think it eventually results in loss of our real personality, we are masked, not ourselves, it is someone else isn't it?
Why we do so, do we think what we are is not worth it? or some other reason, please share your thoughts
1) why you selected the ID and why selected the avatar?
2) had it been your name what do you think was wrong?
3) are you more comfortable with your ID rather than your real name?

here is my view point

I AM WHAT I AM

In the mirror and on the cam
I am what I am

What matters is not features
What matters is not age
Lion loves to be in jungle
And hates to be in cage
For him it’s a big sham
I am what I am

What makes you wear a mask
How difficult is this task
My ID runs the show
And myself very low
Its Peter all around, where is Sam
I am what I am

Myself I have lost
Look how cheap, at what cost
Cynthia now loves peter
Sam sits behind the heater
Have I lost my bus my tram
I am what I am

i do not think it matters much because i will some day tell her the truth and i hope she will understand

i think for girls it is better to be on the safe side with an ID, unless she is 100%sure of the people, to reveal her identity. what do you say?

By miss keen• 11 Sep 2009 23:41
miss keen

she will never love you, you are coward

By azharm• 11 Sep 2009 23:28

i agree with you in principle this ID business is absolutely without any self censorship, so i may be saying what under no normal circumstances can be heard from me. do you think that's fare?

By azharm• 11 Sep 2009 23:25
azharm

that's what i am saying exactly and you have confirmed it,

for example your name is "A" and you love "B". you were unable to tell the same to her and then you became someone else and conveyed your emotions as "C".

You still lack her love buddy she loves "C" not you

its more easy to terrorise someone or people when when they dont know the real you... they can only block ur ID... still u can make a new ac count...hehehe

how on earth i have missed this hmmm i know it is not okay but i luv my present ID

you know what i have been trying to tell the girl i luv for years that i luv her but could not, then i made this Id and now i have told her that i luv her

i think it gave me the courage what was required and i am more comfortable with it

if you don't want the CID barging into your doorstep due to all the bad words you told about living in this shit hole then hide your personality.

I'm hiding from my boss...that's why I have a fake name...and to hijack the forums without any responsibility... In fact I don't exist! I'm a software, I'm THE AI! I'll rule the world! Mwuhahahaha!

I agree with you that we may be losing personality but the environment is not as good as men for us to expose our real name and pictures, so I personally feel more comfortable with my ID

Poem is fantastic as usual, as it is written by you

I totally agree with crapcircle, I have the same attitude towards the "new" forums on internet. Who you are does not matter+ I don't want people to know everything about me - I am more private than most maybe.

By azharm• 7 Sep 2009 15:36
azharm

sounds good too buddy

Anonymous is legion :[

seriously, I'm not here for fame, I don't want anyone to know who I am. I don't have MySpace, Facebook, or any of that junk. I like to communicate with people, I don't give a damn who they are or where they're from, what they do, as long as we can have a meaningful exchange of information and ideas :)

By azharm• 7 Sep 2009 14:44

Azhar is my real name, and i just need to know what makes someone choose an ID, its your choice if you wish please tell.

By wacky_baby• 7 Sep 2009 14:36
