A SoWal Cyber Death at 3,000 Posts.

When I got to 500 posts here a friend of mine told me people who post here "a lot" were "sad and pitiable, and had no real lives.". I believed him, but only briefly, until I had found 40 new friends (I counted), some closer than others--sure, all of them I could just hug-- I feel that comfortable with them, and will continue to do so.

There are 4 sowallers I STILL need to meet after my "cyber" death at 3,000--one nice gal is in Chicago, one lives across the bay, one I am befriending today on facebook..and one I JUST HOPE TO MEET--his name is 3 lower case letters, he is always on the poli forum, and I want to be just like him when I eventually grow up (even though we are the exact same age)!

IF YOU ONLY HAD 5 POSTS left what would you say or do here?

How would you like to finish your SoWal 'cyber" life? I think I am going to PM a few strangers here and say I am sorry for some of the things I may have said "in the moment"...:cry:

....now, onto become a full time lurker, or one of the SoWal "ghosts".:wave: bye! It is better than being banned (that is like going to hell).

Quitters are sad and pitiable.

Sharing is human.

Not true!!:angry: Well, I mean, look where it got ME!!:floor:;-)

Ole hoony or whatever his name will thrive with his new found priorities with which he will put into execution and achieve a higher ideal of his new found stature.:clap::clap: ;-)

Maybe we're about to see a morph......Like a caterpillar crawling out of a coccoon as a butterfly.

Any guesses on what Hnoee comes back as?

Las Vegas has good odds that hnooe has already come back as Miss Quitty. Quit being the operative word that no one is able to do with sowal.com. :biggrin:

hnooe, you can't quit posting just because you hit 3000. Who will I read and get totally exasperated over. Well, come to think of it, there are still one or two but there is really only one hnooe. Cyber death is an unnecessary evil so reconsider, recover and recuperate.

I give it a month before we have a "new" member w/ a love of rainbows and a dislike of certain political posters. :roll:

Alpha Crab fits the bill, don't you think? :wave:

I give it a month and he comes back as himself! lol ;-)

There's a funny bit of gossip floating around that he's back as Alpha Crab! :eek:

We'll be there for you, hnoee!!! SoWal is sort of like the Fellowship of the Ring. Will you come back as Hnoee the White???

No, gossip has it that he liked the name Alpha Crab better. ;-)

Not true!!:angry: Well, I mean, look where it got ME!!:floor:;-)

New found name, you mean. Stature? That's debatable.

hmmm - I'm wondering if Hnoee and Miss Quitty are one in the same :roll:

Everyone's wondering if Alpha Crab is Hnoee, too. :idontno:

We only know what the gossip mill says. :blink:

Coming back as a crab is evidently more funn. :lol:

Hey hnoee! You said you were "quitting" at 3000 posts...looks like you have one left. Any comment on the crab? Is he really your alter ego? If it looks like a hnoee, walks like a hnoee, talks like a hnoee, is it really a hnoee? Why don't you solve the "mystery" and put SoWal out of its misery? :floor:

Me either. I have certain FB information that would disprove this theory.

Its a good theory and though some of the linguistic patterns are different, someone as smart as Hnooe could assume his new personae at a deep enough level to pull it off. He also doesn't strike me as the type of person who would be able to keep his fingers out of the pie for any length of time! lol

Hmmm....it appears there ARE some glimmers of rainbow on Alpha Crabs page....

I guess I look at Hnooe as one of the few who dared to go into the SoWal political arena using his own name- which cannot be said about 99% of the other participants. He kept going back to defend his position long after many of the regular posters had had enough. You might not agree with his positions or delivery, but he had the right to speak his mind and was not nearly as blatantly aggressive, angry, or nasty as some of his "opponents" have been in the poltical threads.

He also is an active community member who puts his money where his mouth is and tries to make a difference in SoWal. Am I missing something here?

I personally thought he was awesome and was saddened by his decision to leave.

This is just all conspiracy theories on his apparent potential resurrection Jdarg as far as I am aware. :)

that would be correct.




And why the sudden interest anyway? :roll: Why now?

I'm not convinced.

That's what Oprah said about James Frey when his book "Million Little Pieces" was initially exposed as a fraud. She defended him to the last because she wanted to believe that he was what he said he was. :(

Can you share? If this is merely an idle rumor floating around, everyone would be happy to see it put to rest. You know how stories get blown way out of proportion when they are not addressed.

Such a coincidence too, that they both live at the same end of the beach, own the same kind of dog, espouse the same politics...really, you can see why so many people feel like they "know" Alpha Crab from another place. ;-)

Why am I bringing this up? Because, as I said to Jenny, it smacks of a James Frey scenario. I find it strange that people--in and out of my immediate circle of friends--are wondering if hnooe is pulling a fast one and deceiving everyone by posing as a newcomer named Alpha Crab.

It's one thing if a poster gets off on a wrong foot and wants to make a fresh start with a new name and it's all out in the open. It's an entirely different matter when someone leaves with a splash and then skulks back and pretends to be someone else. There's a dishonesty to it that compromises the integrity of the entire board. How can you trust anything that comes out of this person's mouth when the essence of who this person is, is based on a falsehood?

Rumors should be squashed if that's what they are....rumors. We're all waiting for hnoee and his supposed alter ego to refute them. Personally, I hope this just a pile of silly suppositions because I wouldn't like to think that SoWal has been duped.

Actually, anonymity is a funny thing. Some like it and some don't. Some are known and some are not, and some are both with different screen names. If someone using their real name wants to drop it and start with an alias that is OK. Trying to out them is the same as trying to out someone who wants to be anonymous in the first place.

I'm not saying who is who, but I am saying there is no reason to push it.

This is a drama queen thread. :lol:

I see know problem with any of this. It's all just a game anyway. There's an old saying "It's all fun and games until somebody loses an eye".
