My confession...

[SeinDude]

Topic in question on the Geelong board:
http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=41341

I would like to officially own up to creating 4 other alias's on BigFooty. These are:

Basil Fawlty
Richie Benaud
Homer J Simpson
Steve Bracks

I created these alias's for the simple reason of having some fun on these boards and providing some entertainment for others on here. I have never abused anyone with them and never would resort to something as low as that.

However, the rules of this site state that one cannot create more than one alias, for the reason that people in the past have used them in the wrong way. It is in the conditions for being on BigFooty and I accepted those when I joined as SeinDude. Therefore, I accept that there is every chance all 5 of my alias's will be booted.

I am disappointed that 2 people, Hoggy and Rohan, (one I thought was a mate) felt they needed to spoil the fun for everyone by posting what they did. I guess that is their choice, and they will both be judged on here for what they did, as will I.

I apologise to everyone for breaking the rules of the site.

Thanks to everyone for reading my posts on here.

Darren

I don't think you'll have too much to worry about. They seem harmless enough compared to some other alias's people have created on this site.

Exactly. None of these alias's have been created to abuse or troll anyone, they're just for fun.

SeinDude, you'll be fine.

Agreed. No harm, no foul.

And those responsible for bringing the issue up have issues of their own, certainly.

Fear not, SeinDude, you'll be OK.

Cheers,
William

No one actually cares! I think it was fairly common knowledge! It's not like you were abusing people like FJD (whoever that may be) does. I have an alias as well but I hardly use it.....

Willie_Leyshon

I don't care, I set it up for myself because I almost got booted a while back.

Take it easy.

 

[hawkfan5]

Mate, should be nothing to worry about.

You have never offended anyone with any of those names and have been a great bloke to everyone since you have been on bigfooty.

I love reading Richie Benauds posts.. they are very funny and interesting to read, hope he isn't booted from bigfooty, he hasn't done anything wrong in my opinion.

 

[Lethal]

Mate, you'll be right, I don't see how you could be booted as your aliases don't offend anyone

 

[lioness]

Whoever is responsible for creating 'Dennis Napthine' I have to say STOP posting coz it freaks me out. We used to live next door to him in Portland. *shudders*

P.S. I believe his name is Denis.

I'm absolutely stunned. .I had know idea you were these alias's.

Are you also David Mensch ?

 

[FreoDocker]

There's only room on these boards for one RICHIE!!
As for the alias's, it doesn't really matter at all, the posts were classic.
I mean has anyone ever got kicked off the boards for being entertaining??

I find it difficult to believe Seindude will ever get kicked off for being entertaining....due to lack of evidence of same.

 

[X_box_X]

You WILL be right Darren!
Bigfooty will be stupid to let such a fine poster head out the door.

That is the point.

It is hardly entertaining. As I have said a number of times. Humour is more credible and entertaining when it is original. Seindude is hardly orginal and thus it is poor humour on his part.

 

[Lethal]

Rohan, just want to point out to you that your signature is wrong....they didn't play in the AFL, only when it was called the VFL.

 

[Sly77]

Ro dont be such a grump. Darren is not abusing, harming or offending anyone - so let him be, and focus your anger into the trolls of bigfooty instead.

You are certainly entitled to your opinion little man, not that I could give a rats ass what you have to say though!!

Remember, he is a Collingwood fan.

It doesn't really worry me but don't you find it strange that you respond to your own questions and statements? You know they say talking to yourself is the first sign of insanity.

 

[Defender]

You never hurt anyone darren so you should be right. I think you normally post in a good spirit and put a smile on lots of peoples faces. Dont worry too much about Rohan and Hoggy there are more people at bigfooty than those two.

Keep your chin up.

EEK I talk to myself, does that mean I'm going insane? NO it means those around me offer no mind stimulation

There's no doubt you're entitled to your opinion, but what gives YOU the right to spoil things for everyone else??

By the way, I wouldn't start talking about credibility if I were you... you're not exactly an expert in the subject from what I've heard.

I was just pointing out a fact. Had a hunch and I was right.

You are taking this way too personally. Reality check, this is the Internet not real life.

 

[wagstaff]

The alias's Seindude created weren't really alias's at all, but one-joke impersonations of various real (Richie Benaud) and fictional (Steve Bracks) characters. If he had created an alias that gave the impression that it was an alternate, real-life personality, then there may have been cause for concern.

I didn't find the alias's particularly funny myself, but this is really a non-issue.
