At least DU has that system where they show all the posts at once. And besides, it's an endless source of TEH FUNY - like an exact polar opposite of freerepublic.com.

(Incidentally, I think I've seen Sava post there. It speaks a lot that in those posts, Sava was a voice of reason and moderation.)

Usually, this means that the person is using the same nickname all over the net, and a rather special, non-generic nickname at that.

Is it ok to use this in arguments against him? Is it a legitimate tactic to use his quotes from some other site? Is it playing dirty?

Discuss.

(Oh yes, and this is based on a real experience. I think I saw some of you people around. )
I think I saw you once in some skycrapers-buildings-or something similar forum once.

I use Oerdin in ever forum I post in and I have never ran into anyone else who uses this name. So if you see it then you know it's me.

BTW there seems to be a lot of polytubbies at Counterglow though it sometimes pisses off the locals.

No... because he could be using *ahem* another personality on that site .

Anyway I'm ISiddiqui at Straight Dope, Front Office Football Central, and some other forums where I hardly post at.

A lot of you post on Straight Dope. Would someone care to explain to me what is it? I googled a bit and found out there is a book with that name

What are the forums about, what kind of crowd and topics can be found there?

I only post in Cafe Society there (about entertainment stuff), because the political forum are SOOOO partisan that they make me cringe. And everyone is asking 'cite' at every opinion. It's horrible. Makes Apolyton Off Topic look like a civil place .

Let's see...

Tassadar5000 has quite a few results, though most of them aren't me.
Comrade Tassadar has a few, and most of them are me The one that isn't is broken up, so that one doesn't count.
Lord Tassadar has quite a few, though none of them are me. (Considering I've only used this one on MSN)
My real name brings up quite a few results, many of which are me, but I'm not telling you what it is

Azazel ("Azazel forum", because without "forum" Azazel brings up too much. Same with everyone else.) brings up Cannibal Corpse Fan Forum And an automotive forum.
Fez brings up "Free Every Zebra" But nothing really specific.
Skywalker is a member of the Computer Games Forum apparently (And it might actually be him, since this site deals with computer games too)
And I guess a forum of marijuana growing?!
Panag brings up...Apolyton!
And makemoney.gr....I thought Panag was smarter than that.
MichaeltheGreat brings up Apolyton, and "Kaktus Forum"????

I can't find much of interest though I was expecting some of you to be on porno sites or something.

I used my old Apolyton nick Olaf Hårfagre on some domestic forums in Sweden, but I haven't posted there for 2-3 years.

Here's a forum where I'm sometimes lurking (posting is kinda lame, as there are never any disagreements)
