What can I say, Captain and The Pirate Girl are some of the character that make the forums a fun place to hang out. The Captain is both playful and harsh all wrapped up with his amusing wit.
The Pirate Girl is a passionate and amazing poet. If her confident and seductive thoughts don't make you fall in love with her, then the various pictures she posts will.
That is not to mention the amazing banter that occurs when the two of them get together. Interacting with them is more entertaining than anything on TV.
I vote for both of them to live long healthy lives amongst these pages.
I second that...except now the suspense is killing me!
(((anxiously awaiting decision by the jury)))
Honestly, I wish that you'd stop making more work over and over and over again for Maddie and the others who delete/deactivate/reactivate your numerous accounts again and again every time you get angry, BadCo.
Additionally - having an "alter ego" isn't free license to break the rules, which you've used them to do lots in the past.
It's really just a case of poop or get off the pot - you can be just as funny and you-like using ONE account, since the majority of us know it's you anyway.
Gamergirl I bet you were Head Girl lol Oh Hell I was too so maybe not.
I enjoy both of them who cares what others think have fun and be all that you can be ! Do not become offended by other people's thoughts some of the ones who complain may have alter egos themselves. Just be you !
If we vote out everything or everybody that somebody doesn't like there will be nobody left but me. Who will I talk to?
That is certainly a joke. I'll be next to go and I'm just Me
I think everyone should examine opposing points of view in their own heads. It is easier for others to understand your opposing views when separated.
KEEP THE DIFFRENT AVITARS but don't hide behind them for malicious purposes as some do.
You are alright as far as I know!
Do your own thang.
Hey BC! Been missin' ya and it isn't just because I haven't been around much. I'm can't be bothered with reading this whole thread, but for my count, let's just say that I'd love you and PG to stay. You're here and the truth is out that you're both. So, really, what's the hoopla all about? If they don't like, they don't read. For us who like, we'll read and visit. Love ya and miss ya! xxoo (plus, I've discovered a few other alter egos belonging to other hubbers, so what's up with that??? They gonna leave too???!!)
Well I haven't been on the forums in a while...like anyone noticed or cared...but BadCo I say you AND PirateGirl should stay. You both made me laugh whenever I was feeling down and that isn't easy trust me even my husband sometiems can't make me laugh when I'm down. So I say both should stay.
Well I for one have missed you, and I too think that they stay!
I noticed you were not around and missed you much. Badco keep the egos plz as the forums would be really boring without them. It's all good from where I am sitting.
BADCO now is the time for your dramatic entrance!!! please don't keep us waiting any longer....
(((holding my breath here)))
Well I didn't know you had alternate egos here. It's always been my policy to treat any poster as an individual regardless of how many other ids they may have. Personally I don't see a need for multiple personalities but everyone's different and I suppose one might have a reason for such behaviour. So no it doesn't bother me how many personalities you have and post with.
i don't understand the need for it either, but a few people on here have them. one account is enough for me though...i would get horribly confused logging in and out all the time.
using them for fun, as BadCo does, is fine, but when people create an alter ego just to hide behind to attack people, that is uncool. and BadCo, i take you seriously, for all your humor and funny comments. well, have a great day!
Keep them in BadCo, I think,as a newbie, I was attracted to coming back to the forums just to read your interactions with hubbers, before I ever worked up the courage to join in! Newbies will so miss out if you let go of any of your lovably wicked personas, they offer so much imagination and inspiration, and freedom....I was actually wondering a few days ago if you write for tv or movies because, let's face it, I was one of the people who believed that Pirate Girl was so real, if you can fool so many you can also write believably for characters of both sexes and if you aren't already, you need to give it a shot!
I meant this question as do you want the alter-ego gone, I have already decided to kill them all off. I am Art, tis my name and in future I am just gonna be myself. Tis an Art !
No don't kill them off, do what they do in the Sitcoms, and long running Drama's like "Coronation Street, have them leave and go somewhere else, that way you can be someone else have loads more fun, and bring them back when you feel like it.
HA Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha !!! Mandy beau you don't know, is this why the closed forum was re-opened...? You need to know.....Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!!!!!!!!!OMG
I haven't just the pirates, two new personas House and Thirteen have taken their places. To be honest I get seasick
You can't kill them off doll, by your own word you gave us until Saturday to vote aye or nay!
Tell me I don't know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Didn't even realise it had been closed.
Oh No just read about it hahahahaha perhaps I should volunteer for the Court jester position left open until he does return.
Forums are addictiver writing Hubs are O.K. But prefer Forums.
BadCo never really left sweetie, he's just someone else now....and he will be introducing a new female persona tommorrow, don't be sad, I was feeling just like you until I found he's been tripping around the Forums the past three days with a new advitar.
I had a feeling that he would. I just can't understand why people take it to heart, its the net, no one means anything they say on here. I mean in terms of Bitching, its Cyber.
Yet so many threads are closed to reply.
Me and Badco, were banned at the same time, and He told me off. But I didn't give a toss, we were I suppose technically in the wrong, but all these feelings got hurt. Pretty sure Brenda will be back.
Thanks for bringing me up to speed i had no idea he had gone again, nor any idea that the thread he had started was closed to reply and reopened.
Sure, I think so too, family squabbles, like in any community, not to minimalize anyones' feelings, but it came out, and it will be worked out, and if others do not keep stirring the pot...everyone will come out of this just fine. You put people of talent together and conflicts will happen...it's just reality.
I have no problem with alter egos...I think the alter egos adds creativity to the forums - I vote yes to stay
That's really nice of you, I hope to enjoy writing loads of good helpful hubs on here. Nice to meet you.
I only hope you do what's good for you. Either way your writing reveals the identity you want. That's the magical part of what you do my friend(s)
They are so much fun, so my asnwer is deff: NO! Don't let them go...
Lol they are gone my friend, if any Hubstaff are reading could you please close this to reply.
I told you I was starting again with 2 new accounts, I think I need to book you in for treatment lol. Enjoy your weekend moi friend
I need an urgent treatment HT My heart is aching actually. I had some beer and wine yesterday and I have nice headache today
oh are we at it again? god, they won't let u rest HT will they? after all the battering in the forums (not to mention the endless advice) it's a wonder u're still alive....
Well, being a great doctor is not easy! It's his curse and he has to deal with it...
yes, we so enjoy destroying people and making heroes out of them...martyr them to death...and once we're thru...go on and on endessly talking about it....!
Shamel meant no harm my friend, he is in fact one of my best friends on the site, and I mean one of my top 3 friends. It was my own fault for starting the damn thread, I guess if you seek the attention it's the price you pay, doncha think
I know...I didn't intend that comment towards shamel...just generally venting frustration with all that's been going on...I wish people would just cuddle more and talk less...here's a hug!
Well Art is always up for a cuddle and a hug be it male, female or a Great Dane with nice breath. Muchness Thankness for the hug and enjoy yer weekend
In fact anyone reading enjoy yer weekend !
I don't mind people having multiple accounts as long as neither account is rude or annoying.
I don't care if people have alter-egos, heck, truth be told, most of us probably do in real life to some extent anyway. I like your alter-egos and think you should keep them. I don't know why people get so upset about this. Heck, been thinking about an alter-ego myself.
I love the ultra-ego's but HealthTip is my favorite, it just does something to me, Doctor. :-D
Why thank you young lady, just booked you in for a full medical next week
How fun, and I'm so healthy, but you can never be too, um, what's the word, ummm............
Lol to be honest I prefer this ego, it's more who I am. I recall someone calling PirateGirl the Tart with the Heart, well I think this new ego is the real Art, the Fart with the Heart, anyways I am off, enjoy yer night Kimberly
Like I care DS I am who I am, I am back and if any don't like it I don't care. I actually used to respect you Darkside, albeit it for 2 minutes !
Yes, you are what you are, and apparently a waste of the time you have and the talent you possess as you prefer to gallivant around the forums as both it's king and queen.
I tried a different approach which was actually ok but you insulted that as well. I don't want to be king of the forums, I leave that to you my friend, note the sarcasm tone in the word friend. Get off my case DS you dont own Hubpages !
I pointed out, quite civilly actually, the irony of the outcome. Now sadly, I see your true colours.
DS being civil just was never you, you were just plain sarky as hell not that I care because in a million years you will never have my shoot at the hip talent. You are a researcher, you compile facts from other people then write, and please spare me the civil crap, you have been on about me for months with your sock puppet crap and the alter ego stuff with your wikpedia links, civil my ass yer a sarky git and you know it.
Spare me the I see your true colours crap, have you ever thought about a career in acting ?
Shoot from the hip flask more like it.
If you put as much effort into using your talent for something worthwhile rather than playing with imaginary friends and dancing around like a monkey for a forum audience you'd be in a better position to brag and boast instead of making it into a pissing match.
I think you are being unpleasant Darkside, now thats not like you Babe.
My Captain is modest, he actually does have a talent at writing, you my friend are just a long list of factual words, we are done, enough said unless you want to take this further ?
LUNAR ANTICS: The Moon DownUnder (NZ & Australia) was RED last night (it is pm Sat. now). Such a moon allows us to read between the lines and make extremely relevant comments.
It's always a pity when that relevance is lost to those who only see the Blue aspects; without taking the time to consider that from where we each stand: The view is different.
This thread is largely Now Irrelevant after 4 Days.
This is amusing, as I feel that you have the talent,(your material is all new original, and as you say, not just researched clutter) and obviously some of us don't. I wasn't going to comment, but going through the variety of answers, all I could feel was green eyes. Jealousy is a terrible thing, and when [people are jealous, it eats away at them. So don't worry we love both the characters, Majority rules and I believe that there was a particularly unpleasant attack on you, by someone that should know alot better.
Also I am aware that you will not rush to press the report button. I however will be. I think that this thread should be closed, as you asked some time back.
ClaudetteK
was there a full moon tonight somewhere? maybe it was crashing into the moon earlier ... lots of tension in the forums today.
I was kinda secretly bonding with 'House' hes such a lovable prick
Personally I prefer BadCo and PirateGirl, you have created these people in your own unique way rather than get a character that everyone likes and put your own spin behind them, saying that I did enjoy HT and 13 but BadCo and PirateGirl have reserved a place in my heart.
Yea but if Jack the ripper had used Johnny Depp as his avatar , I probably would have added him too
(the mind is a powerful thing,is it not?)
How are you downunder mate , Spring has sprung and all those daffies , n lambs awww...
Finally the heat of the deep south has abated , my god I must have sweated half the pacific ,so glad we have rain now!!!
Yeah hows brumble town Pearldiver.??????? Or whetre is the blasted place, not o9n any map I have hahahahaha
Nah my point was Arts avatar is a drawcard to newbies is all ,and cool good for him,whatever rocks ya boat.
Dont think this thread is nasty (yet) but Ive been wrong many times.
Mandy be frightened ,nahhh youre a Kiwi dammit!
Im ok ,read and commented on ya hub too. Im going to a large flea market this morning set on 65 acres,maybe I will write a hub about it wish I had more than pennies to spend thats for sure!
Hey let me know How the large flea market goes, I want to hold one on the large property where I live, course I will wait till the crops are harvested, gotta keep Wangavegas, at the top D. Capitol and all.
Wow BadCo - you really get people fired up!! I love you any way you come...I don't care what name you write under as long as the writing is good and you are having fun! I love you BadCO...I'd re-fan you a million times!!
i think you should stick with BadCo and PirateGirl and just write a bunch of hubs 'til things blow over. nice to see you back! i couldn't quite get used to Dr. House and Thirteen
p.s. i found this and thought of you...
cheers mate!
well BadCo I am back on the forums so you and PirateGirl both have to stay for me
Have you considered lithium to help you through this identity crisis?
by blue dog 14 years ago
many people on hp have dual accounts, alter egos, and split personalities. although several maintain a certain dignity with those accounts, we know they are the exception rather than the rule. after this morning's apparent outing of one of the more vicious trolls on the site, is it fair...
by Dale Mazurek 14 years ago
Some agree and some disagree that using alter egos here shouldnt be allowed.Well I have openly admitted that I do use them but they are for marketing purposes only.This account that Im talking through is the real me and the only time my alter egos will comment on anything is in a thread or a hub...
by chucky12 14 years ago
Just wondrin,I did it yesterday on another Forum, to get my point accross, but all it did was make me feel an idiot, made worse when some chick figured it, based on what she said was my unusual lingo.
by BadCo 14 years ago
Ok on Monday night I hold my hands up that I went maybe a bit too far with my alter-ego crap. I agree with Ryans post that I was a total asshole and I am sorry to see that Brenda has left because she is a fellow Irish person. But that is not the reason she left, before she left she had actually...

Are there rogue HP staff amongst the writers or are certain peoples' egos too large?If you don't understand the question, you don't understand.
by obasi 13 years ago
People claim to seek unity with God, but want to retain their separated egos,do they know God?Five hundred years later, another young man, Emmanuel, whom the Greeks called Jesus the Christ, was similarly tested and, he, too, refused to give in to the temptations of the ego and flesh. It seems that...
