Multinick. There will always be only one personality…
Those who use more than one nickname (often referred to as multinicks) to present themselves in the various virtual communities (blogs, forums, or others) do so with the sole purpose of misleading their interlocutors by sleight of hand, with flimsy holograms, or with figures of convenience used for the sole purpose of “steering” conversations in certain directions.
To do this, he uses preconceived “plays”, scripts that are already written, taken for granted, and predictable, because moving in an unprogrammed context is something unfamiliar to this bizarre character, something he cannot handle.
Thus, confrontations in the virtual ring must be structured in such a way as to leave no room for any possibility of succumbing.
Usually these are personalities who have a high propensity for deception, fraud, and betrayal.
I imagine them “cooking the books”, consulting answers to quizzes before answering questions, flaunting false “credentials” by boasting of academic titles, and trying to cheat at every game, even Christmas bingo.
In comparing oneself to them, one loses the depth that comes from the “naturalness” of confrontation, that is, the real richness that comes from relating to different people and minds.
In fact, despite the multiple behaviors found in a multinick person, he or she will always be only one personality, with one life history, experiences, and opinions.
Otherwise, it would be an individual so dissociated that he or she could be considered a “pathological clinical case”.
So how much can you gain in terms of experience, comparison, and humanity by dialoguing with multiple minds belonging to the same person ?
Nothing.
In this way, we will only get the effect of having entertained the child by letting him play with his personality “abacus”, or of having communicated with a full-fledged psychopath.
I try to distance myself as much as possible from any person who, in a virtual place such as a blog or forum where a certain amount of intellectual honesty and consistency are indispensable elements, engages in behavior that makes me fear such a distance.
When I relate to a person, whether in reality or in virtuality, I want to “get to know” his or her “true face” and I want to find a reason to relate to him or her.
I take no pleasure in piecing together a puzzle of imbecility.
