Traveller in Time running round all over HooToo
"I notice you have unsubscribed to all of the conversations you contributed to.

This is not really a good move; you will not be informed of new postings (someone giving a sensible reply) as well as it looks like you have something to hide.

However, go ahead removing them if you want to . . . "

Actually that was the whole point of unsubscribing from conversations as for something to hide yes I confess now to being an agent for Red Dawn we are scoping out this site for brilliant scientific minds to further our cause.

Whats your reason for monitoring my movements?

Traveller in Time on his head
"Noticed your name on several forums, was checking If you had been visited by an ACE. As well as trying to find out what kind of contributions you make. "

so what did you decide?

Traveller in Time reading many postings
"I decided to try and give some advice as in the first posting

We are a community on HooToo, and your posting history adds to your 'credentials' more then whatever you have written on your Personal Space. That is, until you have several Edited Entries, then you are known by the large of the community.

Displaying a public posting history has been discussed many times and the overall outcome is that it has added value to the community. The privacy issue is neglectible, I followed to your Space after I had seen several postings, those will remain onsite. "

What do you mean by credentials?

Traveller in Time trying to write face to face
"Who you are, and how you react.

Each and every single post is just a voice from the dark, a shadow of a person. Your postings make up an image as to who you are. "

what does your name mean shadow person

You know you never did explain your name and how is it that you are always logged on or so it appears and why when I try to unsubscribe from various threads that button no longer seems to work a lot of questions i know but I have a feeling you are like big brother and always watching

Not so much a "Big Brother" but one of the resident "guru"s. Which he can explain. Yes, his eyes are always open, and he will appear magically everywhere and anywhere. Any time of anyone's day or night. But my own views over nearing 3 years is that he IS a positive guidance around here. He is right though ... Some folks will trot about, dropping a comment or a post, and then unsubscribe. And there will be some who immediately class them as (internet) trolls. NOT a positive tag, trust me.

So, though it may clutter your personal space to leave threads dangling, ... that you had a single opinion of, and wish to forget ... Appearances mean a great deal here.. Especially if you expect to be here for a long term.

As a final note, before I "disappear" from this thread, ... If you do have a query about the ways, operations or functions of this site, TT is the man to ask.

Internet troll sounds like something from the mines of Moria and still feeling my away around I shall trust to your jugement on this one as you have proven yourself true blue

I am very visually oriented and how things look impacts greatly on me, some in the past have diagnosed dyslexia bah humbug it's not something I would be ashamed to accept if I believed 1. in it and 2. if I was but I am not I simply like and function best with simplicity, clean lines and no clutter so when I think a thread has run it's course or is degenerating into a diatribe I prefer to close it down.

Funny how even in cyberspace people judge from appearances and perceived motives .

I was moved by your journal as will others be you are a soul

In most ways, and by most people, everyone is taken at face-value here. But there are seasons and times when "trolls" seem to be seen in every nook and cranny. You and I see alike with threads, apparently. State your piece, and move on. But some will see it as a "strike and run" thing. Personal paranoia's, but very real here.

I get a very good feel that you are going to build quite a nest of warm friends. In fact, after a time and a few mutual friends, I was encouraged to join in to a friendly bunch. Maybe you'd find a comfort there? Take a peek at the description of A304354 (click on that A-stuff). Common day chat stuff happens in the "xxxx Conversation at Lil's"

Traveller in Time not with all the answers
"However hanging round on this site 24/7 for nearly thee years does learn you a lot of 'tricks'.
You can concider me 'present' for most of the time, only some hours I have to travel (Real Life) or fall asleep (also Real Life).

I hang out on the info way too much, hence I know of most of the conversations. Most do not bother me, but some I find interesting. Oh, there is also the new entries (art) channel on the info page.

My name . . . well, present is kind of blurry for me I live somewhere in a 24 hour scale, always trying to keep in sync with Real Life. Sometimes just ahead soemtimes just behind. "
