Why does anybody bother to respond to me? I'm just a shit-disturbing sophomoric a**hole. Pardon, that's not quite right. I'm only pre-sophomoric.
M&M! Why not?
I don't even know myself
That's okay. You do describe your mind as mutiliated.
So, tell us about yourself?

Maybe it's also because the overwhelmingly priggish and petulant nature of your ill-informed pre-adolescent schoolgirl sniping is generally found to be worthy only of contempt.
Pardon my mistake. I thought you were asking why people DIDN'T bother responding to you.
It goes without saying that the poster who started this thread is not me, the real Mutilated Mind. It's not so unusual that some schizoid youth, lacking seriously in maturity and intelligence, thinks he can invade a messageboard dedicated to mature and intelligent conversation such as this one and insult someone they feel jealous about but would never admit.
I know it is usual in such cases that the offender be shouted down by reciprocating with insults and abuse which are supposed to make him crawl back into the mud, but that's not my style. I'll just let him ponder, if he is capable of doing it, about what he is saying and why he is doing it.
It also goes without saying, that registering would surely nip this problem in the bud.

Why does it go without saying? How are we to know whether it's really "you" or not?
If you took 5 seconds to register your nickname we wouldn't be having this discussion.
What's gotten into you all of a sudden, TehBorken ?
Ivan the Terrible ?
If that usurper hadn't hijacked my nick and insulted me, and if you hadn't replied, we wouldn't had it either.
Makes sense, doesn't it ?

So it does, does it ?
It also goes without saying, that if that pimple-covered hijacker's father had used a condom, that problem would have nipped in the bud too.

It's that time of the month for me.

Errrrr, well, no, not really. You can control one but not the other.
If you don't want people to hijack your nick, register it. That's all I'm suggesting.
We do, but obviously they (or it) don't/doesn't.

The problem is, my nick obviously was pseudo-jacked just for the sake of insulting me. I guess there are a few who don't like my posting here, such as that "Tomahawk". I have an idea about who that is, but I'll keep it to myself.
I have seen this happen before, also on DV. If it happens, it's obvious to anyone with half a brain (even a fourth) that this is not the real owner of the nick ridiculing and making fun of himself. So, I wouldn't even feel it's worth your while to reply to them at all. After all, those who do this are just a******* who should grow up. Out in the streets they would gang up on you, here on a messageboard they will use their anonymity.

Of course it was, but that's really beside the point, isn't it? You yourself recognize it's a problem, and it's within your power to put a stop to it. If you're unwilling to do that don't be surprised if other "Mutilated Mind" posters show up to harass you and trash your name.

Well, no, it's not always obvious, and that's the problem. It may be obvious to you, but probably not to everyone else. I mean, really- how are we supposed to know if it's really you or not? Seriously. How are we supposed to tell?

That's teh way teh intarweb works, for better or worse. In this particular case you have the power to stop it.
TehBorken, I also wrote "So, I wouldn't even feel it's worth your while to reply to them at all" which actually answers your latest post but you chose to ignore that.
Besides, I have a strong feeling that the person who hijacked my nick is none other than one of the regulars here, as will likely be other nickjackers. The simple fact of "purelife" airily responding to the nickjacker as if she actually believed it was me, and not having anything to say after the truth appeared, confirms my feeling.
So, why should I let myself be forced into registering ? I prefer to post just for those who do read what I have to say, whatever the little core of regulars who think they "are" this forum think about it. Their replies in most cases are fake anyway.

Whatever, all I'm saying is that without a registered nick anyone can use the name "Mutilated Mind" and that people may not be able to tell the difference between you and the imposter(s). Nothing more, nothing less- that's the only point I'm trying to make. I really don't see why that's so hard to understand.

You can suspect or believe whatever you want but I certainly wouldn't consider that "confirmation". If anything it reinforces my point: that without a registered nick, people can't tell if it's you or a nickjacker.
So, why should I let myself be forced into registering ?
Whoah, get a grip, dude- no one is trying to "force" you to do anything. I don't care if you register or not. Really. All I'm saying (for the unpteenth time) is that without a registered nick, people can't tell if it's you or not.
If you don't register then you can hardly complain if someone does use "your" nickname, because you have the ability to prevent it, okay?
I prefer to post just for those who do read what I have to say, whatever the little core of regulars who think they "are" this forum think about it. Their replies in most cases are fake anyway.
Whatever. But please don't have a fit or chastise people for responding to someone who posts using "your" name. It's not really "yours" until you register it; until then it's up for grabs. (At this point I fully expect someone to register it just to cause more confusion and, of course, to piss you off.)
I think I'm done beating this dead horse of a subject to death. Unless you or someone else has something substantive to say I'll just let the hand-wringing go on without me.

Sounds like a racket. You know, the racketeer who make the shopowner pay for "protection" against things he doesn't want to happen. After all, he has the "power to stop it", doesn't he ? :)

See above.
Go to [a href="vny!://redwing.hutman.net/%7Emreed/index.htm"]vny!://redwing.hutman.net/%7Emreed/index.htm[/a] and see which kind of troll Mutilated Mind is. My guess is the 'Nitpick':
Nitpick compensates for his limited fighting ability by pouncing on points that are only marginally relevant to the discussion. Even if the minor point is conceded by his opponent Nitpick will return to it whenever the battle turns against him. Though weak, Nitpick is very tenacious and will never admit defeat. Nitpick is a close ally of [a href="vny!://redwing.hutman.net/%7Emreed/warriorshtm/artfuldodger.htm"]Artful Dodger[/a].
