Do you identify yourself as your KB identity on rides?

**idleidolidyll** · 26th October 2007, 16:14

I don't and I never even ask the identities of the other riders I meet. I don't want to know their aliases, I'm more interested in their names.

Yes, I'd rather judge them on the way they act in real life than on preconceived notions based on their posts here.

I've been pleasantly surprised occasionally after someone has pointed out an online 'enemy' and I know others have been surprised when I've been pointed out AFTER they got to know me in reality.

I must say I smile when I see those KB tee shirts. I suppose if I could be bothered buying one it'd come complete with a large dartboard or target printed on front and back.

I wouldn't wear a shirt for kr.com either.

But this place is fine, I am happy people know I am part of KB.

I felt exceptionally sad introducing myself to Col as "car" when for some reason I'd introduced myself to Merv as "Chris" five minutes earlier. Although I know people who call each other by their usernames, despite sitting just a desk away.

I like to know both names so I can match the personalities up - remembering them though that is another issue.

For me when I tell you my name its merv and Merv which is kinda easy.

My friends know me by name.........be that my alias, or my name. My "real name" is used on here from time to time too.....Meh......I am me! no different in person than on here........so be careful guys....

"Hi, I'm hXc, or Zac."

That's my usual answer. What's the point in having a username if you don't tell people what it is for fucks sake?! I go to places where KBers are to meet new KBers and if I can't identify them...no point.

Maybe you're just too ashamed to tell people your username.

It is interesting that you speak of "enemies", "dartboards" and "targets".

For most of us it is about Friendship, Cameraderie, and Fellowship.

I guess some of us are here for different reasons...

**BuFfY** · 26th October 2007, 17:07

I gotta ask, why? If they can't deal with you being a fag, then boo hoo for them!

How many homophobes have you actually come across? No wait, how many have met

I would've thought that the actual number of homophobes vs people that dislike fags but are indifferent to them when it comes to the crunch would've been pretty low?
