I'm wondering as to why someone would need an alias? Right now, I can only guess

Here are TER's official accepted uses of aliases. Some people probably have their own reasons outside of these, but this covers the most common and logical reasons to use an alias.

People like to post some controversial stuff. There are a few things that I see guys posting that would be a total turn off if they were interested in me, and I'm probably not the only provider who feels that way. I've also seen provider remarks that are a bit blunt and would turn away clients.  

I might have ta get me a few JK...I think that it's best to be nice or just STFU...Uh Oh now I stepped in it!

in other words, PUSSYS Or PUSSIES, which ever plural has NO BALLS.  

usually a bunch of chicken littles who are deathly afraid of posting under their real handle for fear of a good spanking by their Mommy..

If everyone was as open minded and non-judgemental of debate as you, Lady Rose, alias' would be unnecessary.  Unfortunately, that is not the case.  Believe it or not, there are some back stabbing, back biting, jealous, judgemental, narrow minded people within this community...as in all others.  TER is comprised of human beings just like every other endeavor.

Btw, what is wrong with controversy? Differing points of view, even outrageously so at times, are what make interesting board discussions.

There are lots of trolls on the various TER boards. Some of them NEVER have anything interesting to say. I don't need an "ignore feature" to ignore them, I just pay no attention to them, except of course to lob the occasional insult at them. lol

By the way, would you care to enlighten us on the difference between an alias and a handle with no reviews?

I probably won't use one...I'll just sit back and laugh Thanks for the compliment Intrigued*

I only used an alias back when I was a moderator, and that was at "Staff's" insistence.  

Of course it has roses in it

As you know and I'm sure most everyone else knows (at the time) I had many, and often had fun with it all.

Sorry, but that was just too easy to pass up.

Not when every one of your many, many aliases started with "follow me" lol

HA HA

and some of those people have been using that same alias for years.

Yes, we all use an alias of one form or another here.  Unless there's people here posting under their real names.  If so, not very smart.

I have said in the past many times when the subject of aliases came up, I used my alias to "protect" the women I reviewed. This became less of a concern as my review count grew.  

1) LG has outed himself numerous times. Almost everyone here (except you) knows who he is.
2) Many folks here also know LR's alias.
3) Some folks here know him and her personally.
4) You tried to out the alias. If you were correct you would be banned from posting! It is against TER's rules to out an alias, yet you are still posting. That right there should tell you that you are wrong!
5) TERAdmin came right out in a thread and told you that you were wrong, yet you choose to hold on to your stupid idea. Why would TERAdmin lie about that?
6) Their posting style is nothing alike. You are the only fool who thinks that.
7) There have been many threads where LG and LR posted on the same thread. If they were the same person they would have lost their posting privileges.  

You said Smalltimemonger was an imbecile if he still thinks LR and I are the same.  In fact, Stm is an imbecile for so many other reasons, too.
For example, I was unable to respond to his latest inanity on the swallowing thread because it's now closed, but he took the position that swallowing should be fine if she permits CIM but spits.  He's obviously no doctor because if a girl has no cuts or lesions in her mouth but does in her throat, that's where she'll get it.  There are many documented cases of chlamydia and gonorrhea in the throat.  So by swallowing, a girl approximately doubles her risk of infection.
Oh, and then he rebutted by citing links about HIV when I specifically never even mentioned HIV.
What a clown.  Er, imbecile.

They think aliases are always used to flame, for example, which is untrue.  The proof is when multiple aliases were reduced to one, a major reason was to improve the tone of the boards.  Hasn't happened, has it?  And don't blame the single alias.  We don't flame any more than regular handles.

So why do I use one or the other?  Even I don't know.  And, as GaG pointed out below, most people also know my handle and my real name.  I'm quite an open book.  Only Smalltimemonger can't crack the code.  And there isn't even any code to crack! LMAO!

Be yourself, people love the original more than the copy.

DocGonzo must be thrilled.

I recall on one of the local boards my uncle "DrFollowmeGyno" was accused of being a coward for posting under an alias.
True it was a sarcastic post about malodorous pussy or some such thing that some gal took exception to (and it was not even directed at her or anyone in particular) so she called my uncle a coward.

Johngaltnh used it in July of 2009

if I found nothing I would have declared you were correct.
Frankly, I'm not surprised that it was johngalt who previously used the term.

I had gone though a major (non-STD) illness involving my parts and it effected the looks and functionality down below. I had some questions as to how the ladies would react, but was ashamed (still kind of am) of what had happened to me even though I done nothing wrong. It just is a thing that could happen to a man. I used an alias to ask those questions and it helped. People was so supportive. It really helped. I am a fan of aliases and I been on the receiving end of the bad side. I wish they would bring back multiple aliases. I really do.

I understand that in certain limited circumstances there can be a good reason for using an alias but why would you need more than one

Look, sometimes they are just for fun. There was once a guy who used to poke fun at my under the Alias "ScoedsEmptyFridge" or something similar and he was a hoot. I had a good idea who it was and it was all in fun.

You want me to post my SSN and address also?
