Could someone vouch for you?

[Deleted]

Based on the last two days, what would your answer be? 

[genet313]

maybe b/c i could pretty easily meet some other NYC MMers, but, um, have not.  but i am a real person, i swear!  

[dexteroni]

I think so, even though I haven't met anyone from here in person. I'm FB friends with several people from here and there shouldn't be any conflicting stories between the two. Of course I don't really know the extent of what exactly went down, so maybe that's not enough.

[winnied]

Nope. I don't use my name here or any revealing information. I have met no one.

I am just amazed at the shock at ML. I mean, it's more over how invested so many people got into these different characters. That being said, I'm someone who's been on TK/TN/GBCN for 6 years and has never exchanged contact info or meet up with anyone. Clearly, I've never developed relationships like many people here have. I'm ok with that, and am not judging anyone, I just can't share in this experience at all.

[tripleshot]

I clicked maybe. I sent noodleskooze and c7 formula coupons so they know my real name and address. karmasabiotch donated to my charity walk page last summer that had my name and photo.

[les]

Yes. I have met several women from the boards. I hope they would vouch for me!

[savan]

Probably not. My post count is still pretty low. I don't post pictures of myself. I don't have a signature. I've never communicated with anyone off board.

[Deleted]

Yep. rbp, womet, @choco and others know I am a real live person. I was going to say I think RBP has met DD2 but actually I think nobody from the boards has. So maybe my children are fictitious* and you people will never know.












*Spoiler alert, they aren't.

[HoneySpider]

Yes, I haven't met anyone yet (boo!) but have interacted with enough people off the boards that I'm sure some of them could vouch.

[cjeanette]

Yes, I attend KC MM GTGs and have met other Nesties throughout the years.

[Marmee]

Maybe? I'm FB friends with some & I've met a few locals that post on MM/ML/HG but it 7ish yrs ago. I'm not good at translating online friends into IRL because it feels so weird at GTGs for me...whichbis weird since im totally an extrovert. I do have 2 IRL friends from TN but they don't post on GBCN that I know of.

[vtdiamond]

Yes, I've met several GBCNers at GTGs who could vouch for me and I would do the same for them.

[agnes]

I would think the people I have met would vouch for me. lol

[mskitkat]

monsterz will be able to vouch for me after next weekend. I'm counting on an ATL area GTG this summer so I can  stalk make new friends after I move.

ETA: I blame my cold

[aurora]

No, I haven't met anybody, but I've thought about it if there's a GTG in my area. I finally outed myself (my GBCN habit) to my H ~2 months ago so that was a first step.

ETA - I don't think I'm generally inflammatory enough for people to care about my identity, though.

[starlily]

Yes. I've met a lot of posters & several have become good friends.

[Kore]

Volenti would vouch for me! That's my golden ticket.

I slept in the same bed with swizz & didn't shank her. @gypsy thought I was sane enough to invite me back to Denver twice next month!

[justjen]

Yes! All the NYC MMMs. Plus v who I met at LSF's house.

[ijack]

I've met quite a few GBCNers, and some of them even know where I live

[h]

No. I haven't met anyone IRL.

That said, if I am a troll, I am the most boring troll ever. Who thinks "I know, I'll impersonate a relatively stable and drama-free mother of three who occasionally offers an opinion on her favorite steak house or reveals the contents of her children's Easter baskets"? I am a relatively creative person. If I were going to make up a identity, it would be a lot more interesting that my actual one.

[flatlan]

Up until 6 months ago I would have said no because I lurked/under participated for years. I have been making more of an effort in the past year and even met @ruralrabbit1 IRL.

[Brie]

Yep. cjeanette, pugz, and @kcpokergal have been to my house and met my H and kid.

I can vouch for @carmensandiego, rbp, @choco, @kirkette, @gypsy, @charky, @mrsbamfb, bunch. Oh, and I even met orangeblossom at work. And @songforyou and runblondie26.

This is what makes it believable

[audette]

Well, now I need to go read the thread on ML...

To answer the poll, I have met in person a grand total of one GBCN'er, and she's not a regular on this board. There's only ever been one meet-up anywhere near where I had a chance to be, and timing/work wise it doesn't work out for me. I have, at least, posted a couple photos over time. That might help.

[atlas]

Yeah. I've met at least (I did a big GTG with another PB and not sure if any of them are on GBCN) 2 GBCNers. Although I'm not sure which boards they post most frequently on. Also, I don't know fi they could be vouched for by a long time MLer.

[bluefish]

I met a few posters back when we were at that other place, and hope to meet a few more in the upcoming weeks.

I think it's pretty comical that on my radio right now is "Who Are You?"

And she's totally not what she seems!

Just kidding Brie's of course super nice and normal like everyone would expect.

[mrsukyankee]

Yes. A lot of the international group have met each other and I've met a ton.

[crashgizmo]

Yes, @mrschicken, YOU can vouch for me!
