Sometimes people feel the need to roleplay around here and just otherwise be silly. But a quick reminder to everyone: Roleplaying is not allowed on this site, and is a gaggable offence. Try your best to avoid it, please. :)
Maybe it's one of those things where if you tell yourself enough times your a demon or whatever you want to be, you'll start to believe it. Probably not the case, but I guess its possible. ;)

It is more than just starting to believe it, BlackCat. There are people will even start to act up their own beliefs. It's one thing to believe it and another thing to act upon it. Either way these people need to be shown/told what is actually true and learn to discern truth and actuality from falsehood and fantasy. The only downfall with this is that there are those who will not have their beliefs swayed because their belief is so strong. In these cases I think professional psychological evaluation and help is in dire need.
Wow... I haven't been able to be on here for a while because of school and preparing for graduation, but now that I have a bit of free time and reading something like this? Man... I don't see how the fluffs can get any worse.
It stems from children who delve to much into Dungeons and Dragons, Pokemon and other fantasy games and movies, wishing for the world to be what they want from those.
I just wish for a day that all the role players would have their wish and things like they say they are existed all the fluffs would be dead and the world would be at peace.
(they would likely try to roleplay the world as it is now as the wishful thinking.)
All I can say is WOW! I, too, read bios when they are on chat. I like to know who I'm talking with. Had to block mail on one who said if I turn him into a demon, he would show me picture of his arm when he was a werewolf. Then their is one who is dracula's son, and Hell's keeper, lord of war and pain, etc. Then their is also one who has real name, wiccan name, and a vampire name. This is just ridiculous, and it gets in the way of the serious people who are truly searching their path and willing to learn. But what can we do? How can these people be weeded out? Call them out and gag them would be the only way for the moment, I guess. Meanwhile, we just need to watch out for these people and correct any misinformation for those who are serious about the craft.
