Thread Name: BS: Name Change
Subject: RE: BS: Name Change
The thing is, that entering a community of people of goodwill, and communicating and building relationships all under a pseudonym is very liberating but not for the reason that the trolls think. It is not liberating because you can be capriciously irresponsible and destructive and get away with it.
It is liberating because it parallels the Truth -- we are all building relationships and communicating under an assumed Identity, and the liberating feeling comes from not having to pretend otherwise! In cyberspace we _KNOW_ that the true Self is very different from the apparent identity. It's not a big secret to anyone! In 3D life most people pretend it ain't so!! LOL!
