Thread: Hi!

I'm Cottontop3000, and I too am a refugee from sciforums, though I was only there for a few weeks (I'm still new to the internet). Haven't really been on it since 1995.

I posted some of the things I'm interested in in my profile, if you want to check.

I will be talking to you all soon.

Welcome to the boards, Cottontop3000. Just post nice posts, and everything should be a-okay .

Mr U

Do I already have a reputation for not being nice? Or is that a normal welcome?

We're all profane assholes over at Sci. We've got a horrible reputation against the proper and the well-mannered... and also among the discordians.

So we introduce ourselves here.... Hi, I'm invert_nexus.

Right...

Nope. I encourage all members to be nice . Except Discordians, that would just be... odd.

It's true -- one of the final threads at SciF to conclude involved musical chairs, Jungian psychology, and a confused identity crisis between Invert_Nexus, Gendanken or Abraxas, and Invert_Plexus.

I see my stalker's arrived.
Welcome, Plexus.


Ad Hoc,

Don't know if you're being serious or playful, but Plexus and I are not the same person.

A multiple personality disorder is tough to handle. It's ok, invert, they'll understand. You just take care of your issues....

Nice, you might want to try to use the same IP and or even ISP first before trying to convince the world you and Invert are one in the same. The true person with multiple personality disorder would not bother to have multiple ISP's in different parts of the world. Better luck next time.

Aww.
You ruined her fun, Insanity.

(And I didn't even have to ask you to clear it up. I actually considered it, but figured I'd let her have her fun. It's not hurting anybody. She (I believe it's a she) seems reasonably intelligent. If it had been a real idiot, then I might have been more into wishing to clear the matter up.

I doubt that many people privy to the 'games' over at Sci believed that she was me anyway. Never know though. I still wonder if Ad Hoc was serious.)


Plexus,

If I was a real asshole, I'd pester Insanity to confirm some suspicions I have on who you really are. But, I won't. I'll let you keep your 'anonymity'.

Unless the first personality didn't know about the second even though the second did, and obtained an idependent ISP from the second since he doesn't know of the second. That would imply that the second is really the first, since if he already new the first had an ISP he'd just use that one when the first wasn't "home."

I wonder what "they" do with the two ISP bills? Maybe the second, now the first, checks the mail before the first, now the second.

Savvy?

The above is best read in the voice of Captain Jack Sparrow.

There's still the seperate parts of the world issue. Of course, that could be done with a proxy.


Anyway. In classic split personality syndrome (which is so rare as to be almost a hoax), the method of divergence is generally some form of trauma in childhood. The child finds itself unable to deal with the pain and therefore constructs a new personality to take the pain for him.

So. We can say that SPS is a defensive maneuver. The divergent personalities being solely designed to cushion the prime personality from the world.

Now. Why would one of these personalities then start to torture the prime personality with its presence? Such a thing negates the whole circumstance and might well lead to a collapse of personality. Either into a whole or into a breakdown depending upon the mental state of the prime personality.


However. It's always possible that I am the divergenet personality. Or perhaps we both are. But, if we both are, then why should we bother hiding ourselves from each other? And why should one hide behind a proxy while the other doesn't? We could say that Plexus is a paranoid personality and thus hides her location, but if this were the case, then she'd be defeating that paranoia by claiming to be me and thus claiming my location. Unless I'm behind a proxy as well.

Or vice versa.

Sometimes I wonder if any of you are real or just different factions of my own mind talking to each other....
But such thoughts lead to bad places.

It wasn't so much the fact that one could pretend Invert was Plexus was Invert, but that both were so good at outwitting the other. As for anonymous proxy servers -- I'm in Britain now (for the sake of this post). Hence both could very well be one and the same -- or maybe not. But I'll just leave it up to the fancy of my imagination during when one or the other outsmarts him/herself.
