I questioned as to a person using their real name and he said "who says that is their real name and identity?" Who says someone posting as John Smith is actually John Smith?" I didn't have an answer for that. Does anyone? redietz? MrV? Mission? :confused:
During the conversation he also said everyone that posts on gambling forums likely has a gambling problem. My immediate response was what about AP's? He said winning doesn't change anything, just masks and covers the problem. Yikes! I told him we would have to save that discussion for another day.
About who says the person posting as John Smith really is John Smith? I had some IDIOT on here claiming I called him multiple times begging him for help. He ended up showing screenshots from his phone and claiming I called him multiple times begging him for help... He showed screenshots of a caller named Tasha who called Multiple times as proof I called him multiple times. He was a complete IDIOT. Tasha isn't even my REAL name, just my username on here. And MOST people on here knew and know that.
His "proof," I called him multiple times begging him for help was the smoking gun that proved he was a liar and an IDIOT. A wise Poster said something like,"It's obvious you have two phones and used one phone to call your other phone Multiple times and just manually wrote "Tasha," in a pathetic attempt to make it look like she called your phone multiple times. Tasha isn't even her REAL name! If she REALLY did call you, her REAL name would have shown up on your call log, not her FAKE name! You're an IDIOT!"
