[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 763169, member: 18958"] It's the secret change of identity that bothers me. The pretending to be somebody you're not. Inventing a new identity where you had been known for years and years as another person. Without explanation show up and pretend you are somebody else and post advice based upon your experience as that person who you've invented. That is different from changing names. I can change my name a dozen times, and if I am still me, what is the issue? I would have explained just that, that I changed my name. But that didn't happen, did it? It is the sneakiness and the lying. To people who know you. I have feelings toward this person. I guess I still do. I experienced her as sometimes bullying too, and sometimes a know-it-all and contentious. But I knew she had a good heart and was a decent person. I believed her to be a person of integrity. I am disappointed in her. These are relationships of more than a decade in some cases. I guess she felt that it was all of this just pretend. To most of us, it's not. [/QUOTE]
