    this forum is here to stay

    There's an internet phenomenon called "spoofing" in which someone tries to take over your identity and pretends to be you.

    The "John" who just posted wasn't me, but someone spoofing me.

    This forum isn't going anywhere.

    As host of this forum, I have the power to delete these "acting out" posts, but I usually don't. They're sometimes silly and often the product of immature, adolescent thinking... but they also serve as illustrations of certain types of online behavior.
