Bookworm said:You asking money for membership is wrong on so many levels...
Huh? When costs were mentioned I thought it was metophorical. Wow. So glad I never got involved!
I either get them randomly or spend 45 hours in MS paint!
Why is there no unlike button. I Believe there are people on Slack or NDAS or whatever its called, trying to do good but I know for a fact, You Tiny Explorer are not one of them! And by the way don't try to harass previous members to shut me up because it won't work, I want you exposed for the unscrupulous person that you are!
You had best leave then, and stop trying to fleece vulnerable people... You asking money for membership is wrong on so many levels...
You are a troll so how have you gotten on there? You openly admitted to me when I met you, in person, you see nothing wrong with coming on a forum and changing your ID to say something you would not normally say using your usual ID, to me that is trolling and not to mention gutless!
There should be some stipulation though on how long or how many times you post before you have to chose a username, otherwise this leaves the site wide open to trolling, also take more ID information than just an e-mail as anybody could create a different e-mail and identity and then troll the site, at least then you know we are all who we say we are, NAS are leaving some really vulnerable people open to exploitation and it's wrong...
I for one know enough to be able to protect myself but I know for a fact there are people on here who are vulnerable, some seem like they really have it together and are very computer savvy, which I am not but in other ways they are incredibly vulnerable and I feel NAS are just not doing enough to protect them.
Just not one that asks for money just to become a member and exploits vulnerable naive people...
Where do you get these pics from cloudy, PMSL..
Why don't you just get a user name apart from anything its easier to identify.
I am sorry I have upset you, its just that this site does have a history of people changing their username/identity to say things which they otherwise wouldn't, you are clearly not one of them and if you look nor am I, If I have something to say I say it as me bookworm, my concern is that I have met the original poster of this thread and she openly said she did not see any issue with changing your identity to say things, why? hence my reaction because I am a, 'what you see is what you get', person and If I have something to say, I say it, as me bookworm, If I was allowed to use my own identity I would but I'm not.
It would be a good idea to get yourself an avatar and username though because numbers can be very confusing.
I have no problem with that at all, I have not said anything against it, I was referring to the hypocrasy of that post.
It is the hypocritical nature of the post, calling me out for hiding behind a number when that person is using a picture and a pseudonym, it is double standards.
I prefer that it is anonymous and agree with you in every way and more about anonymity.
why not i have talked to children in great despair ( in the act of commiting suicide ) who would not talk to their friends nor family, only me. I never knew their true identity but I talked for them for years some I profoundly changed. They can only do it if they sure they can not be identified. They could say anything to me their deep deep inner self. This person could be anyone but I don't need to know. Otherwise they will not talk about their issues.
By the way there is nothing wrong with fantasy and people using them ( fantasies ) to explore their inner self. I welcome anyone to speak to me in any mode they want.

I have to say yes you have voiced my concerns as well, but you should not hide behind a number to voice your opinion, nor should anybody create a new username to get their point across, that is trolling and its wrong.
This is a democracy if you have something to say sit up say it and own it as I have done....
While you are owning it behind your fantasy picture and psuedonym.....
so untrue I work with ppl who are anon all the time and helped them greatly. Several top groups work that way and it works really well.
so true
I am not in the group,
please leave this group
The ability to block or ignore people could be an attribute.
Justanothernobody said: I have to choice to join or not.
Exactly
