Vanity Post: Avert your eyes, God I love using my real name here...

[CharlesGroce]

Hi. I'm Charles Groce, and I have an identity completely outside the internet, an identity also named Charles Groce.

There is something just, inherently good about erasing the anonymity of the internet. Kind of like utilizing the communicative power of the internet more to it's full potential.

Any other people out there? I apologize for the vanity post, but I was getting tired of going by MrSoundAndVision, it doens't even make sense.

So let's all be progressives and come clean, what's your name?

[GirlinContempt]

1. Aly Malabar

[Dookus]

2. My name is Inigo Montaya

you killed my father. Prepare to die.

[CharlesGroce]

6. come on Doofus....

that joke's a cliche...come clean!

[Dookus]

48. It's Dookus

but you knew that.

My name is tattooed in my pubes. You can read it there.

[SmileyBoy]

3. I am YOU and everyone.

And I am nothing...:D

[Shananigans]

9. aren't you supposed to be studying or something?

[SmileyBoy]

42. Yes, and I finished for the night...

I have to wake up at 7am sharp in the morning to do more, tho.

[Career Prole]

Cool idea!

I'm John Ashcroft...pleased ta meetcha!:hi:

[Angelus]

4. I'm Rick James, bitch!

:evilgrin: :)

[Catholic Sensation]

5. sexist

as a non-woman, or the more biologically accurate "man" I find your gratuitous use of the word "bitch" to be offensive to me.

[DS1]

32. ahh go bitchslap yourself

[Catshrink]

7. Hey I'm not going to make Agent Mike's job easier!

:hi: Agent Mike

[CharlesGroce]

10. What?

What does Agent Mike have on me? That I love martinis?

This country is still free, so long as we don't give in to the fear that keeps us, all of us, from expressing our beliefs. Now if you and everyone else hold back, and only I step forward, then I'm fucked, and you go home wondering if your next.

[SarahB]

8. No one knows

Actually a couple people do here. That's it. I get your point and wanted my first name here just to feel like myself. I don't even mind my face, but my last name invites strange people to enter my life I may not want. Good for you, but not for me. (Maybe it's a girl thing, but I know that's not the case totally either.)

[CharlesGroce]

12. Good quote.

And my wife said the same thing not two minutes ago.

[Shananigans]

11. Marcia Clark...

Yes, everyone, that's right. I am THE Marcia Clark you all know and love from the OJ Trial. Shoot me now.

[CharlesGroce]

15. I hope you're being serious about that being your name...

but think about my name: Charles Groce

Charles - Chuck

Groce = Disgusting

Up Chuck = Puke

What's up chuck, gross!!!!

[IronLionZion]

13. Nice try Mr. Ashcroft

The game is up. We all know who you really are.

[Rabrrrrrr]

14. When Clinton was president, it was safe to dissent from the government

He couldn't give a rip, he believed in freedom.

But I learned under Reagan and Bush The First, and also under the current Asshole Monkey-Blowing-Jockey In Chief, that dissent now can lead to any variety of terrible things, and thus I remain anonymous.

And you f-ers on CU can quote me on that one, because you know, deep in your obsidian hearts, that I'm right. Of course, for you it's not scary at all, you relish in the fact that all who oppose you can now legally have their homes taken away and they can end up in prisons without legal representation, etc., but as one who believes in the bill of rights and the Constitution (that would be me, and the rest of DU) I find such a thing reprehensible. But that's the difference between CU and DU - we at DU actually believe in the truth and ideals of the country, you believe in jongoistic bullshit, faux-patriotism, and the destruction of all free thought and dissension except when criticizing the TRUE patriots, like Kerry and a whole host of liberals/democrats, and even some of your own like McCain and Dole. You assmunches.

[Pithlet]

16. Dawn

:hi:

[CharlesGroce]

17. Just so you all know....

Your IP adresses are virtually public information, and with an easy subpeona your name is obtained from your ISP.

So the correct action is to stare this fear in the face, and speak your dissent openly, hiding in some hole is no protection and no way to live.

[SarahB]

19. But stalkers aren't usually granted subpeonas

I know our government is scary, but more immediate scariness hits me immediately from the idea nonetheless.

[CharlesGroce]

20. I suppose I see your point...

But still, come on, there really aren't that many stalkers out there, that's a TV movie from 1989. Stand and be proud of your name, and should a stalker contact you call the police and be done with it.

[Angelus]

22. My name is Matt Foley Jr,

I am 24 years old, and I live in a van down by the river. :evilgrin:

Sorry, but is someone kinda following some of us around the internet. As a young woman I do have things to fear. I love DU, but I don't trust it that much.

[Wonk]

27. charles is such a manly name

the name just rolls of the tongue so beautifully :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[CharlesGroce]

34. Well I didn't choose it...

but it means churlish man servant from old germanic.

[Catholic Sensation]

35. well i'll put you to work then

:evilgrin:

[CharlesGroce]

39. I'd be as churlish as possible then

You know really it fits me, once a waiter always a waiter. I have something to admit: I set the table for every meal even though I'm no longer a waiter, I can't help it. The table must be orderly!

[LastKnight]

28. its all about the Benjamins...

hi, im Ben... apparently im what its all about.
-LK

[Catholic Sensation]

29. hmm i like the sound of this

So let's all be progressives and come clean

I wouldn't do it any other way

[Angelus]

33. I don't like it clean...

I like it dirty. Ruff!

[Angelus]

30. Charles...

that's such a pretty name. I like it. It's very sexy.

My name is Richard. You can call me Dick. :evilgrin: :loveya:

[woofless]

[CharlesGroce]

I hear that 'you just lost' music from the Price is Right, you know that deeduudadooo brow.....

Anyway good night all, I'm charles, and I'm hammered on martinis and I'm going to bed.

Sleep well yourselves.

[guitar man]

41. no big secret

I haven't kept my identity any big secret, Anyone interested enough to look at my profile will find my website there.

As far as stalking freepers are concerned, I am armed, so is my wife. There is an alarm and an 80 lb. pit bull guarding the home place also.

I figure if anyone REALLY wants to find out who you are in this day and age, they are going to find a way to do it. I do understand and respect those who prefer to remain anonymous. It's a scary world these days.

[Duncan Grant]

43. Just a quick Google comment...

There are no Charles Groce listings in Richmond, Ky. There are 37 listings of my name and San Francisco (a few things are listed that I didn't know about, btw).

And, your profile lists your hobby as 'kicking ass'.

I'm sure you can sympathize with my reluctance to 'come clean'.

The admin and mods of this site can find out anything they need to know about me with a few clicks of a mouse...I'm comfortable with that.

Interesting thread, though. Hopefully a public service.

[RoyGBiv]

47. Another bad one...

Hi, my name is Raymond J. Johnson Jr. But you can call me Ray, or you can call me Jay, or you can call me Johnny, or you can call me RJ, or you can call me RJJ...But you doesn't have to call my Johnson.

Or something like that.

It'd be pretty easy to figure out who I am. My name is all over the Internet, and with a little creative googling, the association of my nick to my name would surface.

But why should I make it any easier? Why should anyone create a virtual database that could be accessed with a single click?

No offensive, but I'm suspicious of any overt call to "let it all hang out." People who know me, know me. People who don't can either find out or not.

[JackDragna]

50. Okay, Okay..I'm George W. Bush.

INVADE THE SUDETENLAND!

[Bossy Monkey]

51. No, see, you're supposed to read the profile then follow the link...

How else is my site ever going to get any hits?

I've never hidden my name (or for that matter, my location, screenname notwithstanding), which is John M. Dantzler. Gotta give the middle initial, since there's more than one of us on DU. Neat, huh?
