    Anyone else not really seeing the point of this **** dual if all it is going to do is bicker with Castle?

    I think the idea is to explore whether people react to what is said or who says it. And by the way, this thread now reveals **** identity to somebody from whom **** had hoped to conceal it.

    You've spoken with ****? Pass on that we won't expose **** now, but **** needs to not do the exact same shit **** does with **** main handle.

    Is this a change from the "we out and ban or allow duals for our own personal amusement" policy?

    What gives you that idea? But usually we don't out them all that quickly. It wasn't until yesterday that anybody suggested the idea that Tuan might be a dual.

    Anc pretty much quoted that rule in another thread here recently. So I'm assuming the new guys are going to follow that same policy - duals are okay as long as they're amusing, but will be burned when they become annoying.

    Incidentally, this is why we had a stickied dual thread in here.

    I don't recall seeing a dual thread when I was cleaning out this forum last weekend. Is it possible that it got lost in the move somehow? :huh:

    For the record, damn you all. It wasn't posting anything substantial enough for me to form an opinion one way or another. Now I can't not hear **** "voice" in Its posts. :garamet:

    That said, it should be an interesting experiment, because even when **** tries to "play nice," the username comes with so much baggage that things go downhill quickly.

    Same here. Now that I know who it is, I'm noticing some "****speak" in the posts. Things that only **** says.

    That's one of the reasons I've never tried to run a dual here. I can change my "voice" for an email or letter, but I don't think I could keep it up post after post after post. :lol:

    You guys never figured out that I was ******. That ought to tell you something.

    Probably me...but I already knew it was **** anyway...**** voice is crystal clear and certain quirks of speech and spelling I've only seen **** use here, Tuan has used.

    Interesting **** named **** dual the equivalent of "great master" though. :lol:

    Yeah, I thought it was pretty obvious, too, but I suspect some people hear a "voice" in writing more than others do. It is interesting that nobody has publicly suggested tuan=****. I have seen a few accusations of tuan=CS, which is really off.

    Well, I could stir the pot by accusing Tuan of being other people, but that wouldn't make much sense being that I'm an admin.

    I should create a dual to accuse other duals of being duals :diacanu:

    Given the increasing number of people with Shelter access it should be common knowledge. :ramen:

    When it's time to release this thread (Now? Since it seems resolved?) should I redact the dual creator's name or just delete the thread without releasing it?
