He's obviously getting more out of it than you realized.<br /><br />You apparently know this, but I'd say your TOPIX private (not) chat days are over. <br /><br />But surely this will not cause your group to disband. If you are all great friends, the group will survive.Bellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17329984660836298211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4803912926493976058.post-49014661247625895232009-06-19T19:49:22.510-05:002009-06-19T19:49:22.510-05:00I wish I could assume that #2 is correct.

My point is that you d...I see your point - mostly.<br /><br />My point is that you describe the group as starting to fray and breakup due to it's new hideyhole outing by Le Jerque. And that would not have been possible if the hideyhole weren't publicly viewable or commentable on by Le Jerque apart from it's existence. <br /><br />However if you check Le Jerque's very 1st blog post - you may safely assume one of 3 things.<br /><br />1) He is a consummate liar/manipulator.<br /><br />or<br /><br />2) Somebody has either hijacked or imitated his accounts and done things "as him" which were not him.<br /><br />or<br /><br />3) He has a serious case of Multiple Personality Disorder.Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00499556364784069171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4803912926493976058.post-71251958232463297722009-06-19T16:59:17.943-05:002009-06-19T16:59:17.943-05:00Sigh.

...Sigh.<br /><br />Yes, I KNOW that Topix is a public forum.<br /><br />But we had asked the person in question to leave us alone and seeing as several of us were "friends" with him in other venues, we rather expected him to respect that.<br /><br />But he did not.<br /><br />I can only assume that he was stalking one of us in particular for fear that she would "out" him for some inappropriate emails and one very very inappropriate picture he had sent.<br /><br />But she never did. Never told any of us. <br /><br />At least not until things became heated. I personally did not find out until AFTER I went off on him (the rant I have since apologized for repeatedly and had said apology thrown back in my face)<br /><br />And now you all know. This creep sent a picture of a dingle with the "you'll never know what you're missing" (or similar) to a woman who had asked him not to email her again.<br /><br />Disgusting.EEEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11438835105087387845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4803912926493976058.post-29526520774136620702009-06-19T16:34:38.181-05:002009-06-19T16:34:38.181-05:00While not a fan of jerks, said jerk does have a ki...While not a fan of jerks, said jerk does have a kind of point.<br /><br />You didn't learn your lesson the 1st time around. Even if it wasn't labeled and had to be hunted for it WAS posted in a public forum. You only had the illusion of privacy and you tried to hide it out in plain sight.<br /><br />Public IS public and hunting for it may be easier than you think. Google is all powerful. I found the original Introvert Quorum a year ago when somebody posted something about me. I wasn't looking for it, I was startled to find it.<br /><br />But I found it by Googling my username for a different purpose (Topix isn't the only place I use that username), and up popped a post containing my name that was totally unknown to me. You better bet I investigated. Mostly out of curiosity.<br /><br />I chose not to publicly "discover" the thread for my own reasons, but I tell this story to say to you again - you only have the illusion of privacy when you post something in an unsecured public place. And you somehow didn't learn this when the jerk chimed in the 1st time.<br /><br />And yes, anything you say and do in public - even if *you* consider it a private gathering can be called to light, used against you, etc.<br /><br />If you want to keep it private and be secure, do the yahoo group thing. Leave the regular Innie Room up on topix and allow it to be a place where you can talk about some surface stuff, and invite people to the private group (which you can lock up so tight that people can't even see who the members of the group are much less what the posts say) if you feel comfortable with them being there.Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00499556364784069171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4803912926493976058.post-87583770054923689522009-06-18T13:58:04.175-05:002009-06-18T13:58:04.175-05:00People seem to be projecting their own idea of fun...People seem to be projecting their own idea of fun onto us.<br /><br />I don't know how clear we can be: WE DID NOT WANT TO BE FOUND<br /><br />Topix provide a very easy to use format for instant communication - logging out and using other names would have defeated the F ing point.<br /><br />There was no "thrill" to the innie room.

Create a yahoo group<br />3. Create a blog or some other page for your posts.<br />4. Create a place on topix using different names only you all would know and not mentioning Introvert. Do this for a year/until things boil over.<br /> <br />These are just a few that occur off the top of my head.<br /><br />Is the possibility of being found by topix readers who know you all by EEE, A. and etc part of the thrill?A Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16535994288750689563noreply@blogger.com
