Can we trust each other? - Page 7

Aralyn · 04-05-2003, 10:50 PM

i trust people to a certain extent, enough to talk, give my first name sometimes and what country but no more than that. I lie about my b-day but only cause i dont like my real one. Plus my Dad wont let me release some stuff i.e my adress, e-mail or otherwise, my last name, my age (mosttimes). But I tust most mooters enough to talk Tolkien!

Legolas_is_fit · 04-06-2003, 04:10 AM

I sometimes lie when i get suspicus about someone, but most of the time i just chat to my mates on msn,if i do lie i always give out my wrong age and adress its soo funny like this one time when this man from India wanted me to fly there and we told him we would a week later he contacted me and said why didnt you come and i told him all the flights where booked, and he belived me...

Ninquelote · 04-06-2003, 01:56 PM

Hehee, my mum doesn't know I send out pictures. I'm not photogenic (she knows this too) so she assumes I don't.

sun-star · 04-06-2003, 02:09 PM

No offence, but I don't really trust anyone I know on-line. Like, yes; trust, no. I wouldn't dream of giving out my address or my real name - anyway, I like giving misleading information to see what people will believe. So if I say things which contradict myself, it's because I'm lying to you all

TinuvielChild · 04-07-2003, 12:27 AM

Basically, I trust those of you on here that I've known for more than two months, or have exchanged PMs with, or had long involved discussions with...I'm more inclined to trust intelligent-seeming people, for some odd reason; and I think the reason why most of the people on here trust each other is because, if you think about it, what purpose would a 40 year old pervert have on a Tolkien board? There's no sex here (well, unless you count Anduril and BoP's torrid love affair of a while ago

); the discussions are Tolkien-based, and one doesn't expect a perverted Internet sex maniac to enjoy discussing Tolkien.

I am not, however, trusting or naive enough to post my full name and/or address on the boards; I may give it out to one of two people through PM, in order to exchange snail-mails, but that's about it. And that'd be to those of you that I'm convinced are not pervs.

If there is one way NOT to gain the mooters trust this is it people! This is it!

i trust syle(support_your_local_elf). i am starting to trust some people but not to give out address

Elf Girl · 04-08-2003, 04:29 PM

I trust some people simply because they know things about Tolkien that no pervert would bother knowing, and I can verify that they're right just by flipping through my books.

Agalayth · 04-08-2003, 05:31 PM

I don't really lie over the internet. If people ask my religion, I tell them I'm Jewish. If someone asks me how old I am, I'll tell them i'm 13. (Yes, I'm young). But I usually only give information like that when I know it's a safe environment, like private boards I've made myself. Or Gamefortress, or here.

I've been here for only like two days, and I have a very good feeling about the people here.

Elvellyn · 04-08-2003, 07:42 PM

Now that I've been here longer, I feel like I can trust people more.

eowyngirl14 · 06-10-2003, 04:55 PM

i still trust pretty much everybody here that i have talked to. thats a lot of pepole, so i wont list them all.

Eruviel Greenleaf · 06-11-2003, 08:00 PM

I am far too trusting, I think. Hell, I'd give out my address here

Well, I am a lot more trusting on the moot than elsewhere. But I've met people I knew from the internet before (well, once, and almost a second time...) and all that. MSN chatrooms are generally eeeevil though.

There's people from the 'moot I wouldnt' mind meeting in person, just 'cause they'd be fun to talk to in real life, though I probably won't ever, except of course E XK. Soon as I have the money I'm going to Manchester!

Would you guys consider Coney trustworthy? He's coming over to visit me, so if I never moot again - ye'll know the Rabbit is an axe murderer!

The incident with the axe was pure conincidence!

The case barely made it to court, the judge only put me on probation because he said us "special" people should be looked after

I'm innocent!

It wasn't even my axe, I only borrowed it...........besides, I thought it was a tree, not a man

Its just about the discussion. Whether you are actually male or female or blonde or brunnete doesnt seem to play a role. No one has ever asked me anything about WHO I am as far as I remember. And Im betting the next person who replies to this wont need that information to make their reply. Thats one of the good things about the internet. Its all about raw disimbodied opinion and discussion and theres no visual predisposition to get in the way of that. A perfect meeting of the minds. And who you are doesnt matter for the most part.

Unless, of course, it's a random chatroom. In which case I don't trust anything. Which is why I don't visit chatrooms.

Linaewen · 06-13-2003, 07:22 AM

Well, there are some Mooters that I do trust, and would like to meet (Perhaps at a Moot convention? - definitely with others present, though). These people are those I know relatively well and are those that I am pretty close to. Especially Lalaith.

But I don't think this is a very big issue for me. I'm not about to meet any Mooters, I don't give out my address, and those who know my full name- I know theirs. And even if they lied about their real names (Which I highly doubt) I don't think that they're about to track me all the way from another country.
