i didnt realise you could impersonate people. thats a bit worrying. i thought that when you typed your name in it recognised you from you login/password on the main site and no one else could use.

Why did you impersonate me, Terri? You're my friend. Did you consider that anything you did or did not say would be reflected on me? It's one thing to draw attention to the potential dangers...but acting as me bothers and worries me. I'm just wondering why it was me you chose to pose as, without my permisson.

And I'm sure everyone will call me a b*tch for asking, but if it were you, you'd ask too.

It's one thing for having software that allows to log in with any name other than the user name the person registered with...it's another that the person comes online as someone else...I certainly wouldn't want to be impersonated by anyone, and their actions happen to change the image in a negative way, which would have an adverse effect of credability that I had already made for myself.

As for the ettiquette of the chat room, it seems that it really hasn't changed much in that sense. Some people will still ignore some others that come online, while others would (or may) take light of someone who's trying to get support for having a bad day. Yet, since this has no interraction with voice and such, it is very hard to catch the tone to whether someone is doing/saying something to help lift the other person's spirit, or whether they are being insensitive about it.

The issue of being able to log in as anyone should be brought to the attention of Jeanne, or Ennio. I guess as far as how people act, everyone may just have to "police" themselves.

IF you are truly upset by this I am sorry to hear it. The main reason IMHO is that you were one of the regulars that was NOT there right then. The idea was to point out how easily it could be for someone to sign in as a regular or anyone for that matter. I mean we did have Don Imus and Al Sharpton. There is nothing malicious about her intent other then to actually show how YOU and others need protection in regard to sign in.

Allie,

She only came in under your name for a few minutes. The only thing she said was "this is not Allie.......I have proved my point about privacy". She then logged out and came back under her own name.

I don't think anyone is going to think you are being a b****. You have the right to ask, but I promise, no harm was done to your name.
