@torunn saidI suppose, Torunn, that we take our chances in real life, too, so I don't want to totally condemn the social software platforms. But they do make it much easier for a bad person to go in disguise as a good person. A little lying, a little play acting, and - presto!, there is the persona.
There is a danger of course. This man might not be, he was too obvious in his style, but there are people who let things go too far and then unpleasant things might happen.

@earl-of-trumps saidI never understood facebook to a be matchmaking site because neither I nor my friends ever make new friends there, just happy to relocate old friends and school-mates. I'm sure lots of funny stuff goes on there too. The man/woman (who knows) I mentioned, made a response to my earlier post on a site like 'Good old Gothenburg' or something similar. I have watched on TV devastated people who thought they found their dream partner on matchmaking sites - that is taking risks.

@very-rusty saidAll "opinions" are accepted here VR. The important thing to remember is that this is a fantasy tavern. 🤔 😉
Your fantasy is becoming a bit disturbed in my opinion.

@torunn saidAre you willing to risk trying a new beverage? We just received a new Vodka and from the reviews I saw in the "What's new in the world of Vodka" magazine, it's well liked among it's readers. Perhaps a nice Vodka martini.

@torunn saidI guess there is a certain risk to everything, including real life.

Stay on your toes, Torunn 😉
@earl-of-trumps saidIf it had been possible, I would have taken a chance of meeting you and Stees in real life. You are both so nice knowing. There are other players that I would like to meet too, Andy for sure, he has been of great help to me earlier in life when I needed help, and he was there. There are occasions we never forget, that was one of them.

@great-big-stees saidOk so I don't see your problem with the question then. 😉
I think you already did. Care for a green tea?
Sure a green tea sounds great.

@earl-of-trumps saidThere is, Earl - RHP is also such a site although it is not its main purpose. That's a risk we take.

Yes, but no need we be gullible! 😉

@great-big-stees saidI shall have a pint of lager and buy a drink for you to celebrate a win elsewhere and a drink for Torunn as the star player.
