Therefore IMO everyone should stop and think before acting like a raving lunatic from the "safe haven of the armchair". Once it is in the net it will not dissappear. Think of that.
Exactly, and then there is the interesting fact that people often use the same nicks in many forums, naturally on flight sim forums but it's not that uncommon to recognize nicks on other forums too... So over the years you will get a track where all those posts you did that you actually regretted an hour after posting them will live for many years. In real life it's just the really stupid comments that people will remember for years

So if your real name gets out you have to be able to stand up for all your comments. Myself I think I can stand up for most that mazex has posted over the years, but if some customer saw how many useless threads I have participated and spent time in here for example I don't know if their image of me as an effective professional spending time on relevant stuff and not floating out in nonsense would get strengthened For many of us I guess this is a vent for some nonsense talk about a dear subject... The problem is that it's too often the same discussions ocer and over again Regarding many questions here we already know what 50% of the nick alter egos will answer but we keep going on

Myself I have 45 minutes of train time on my way to work, so many of my posts are just for spending the time... Tapatalk rules!
