One of my siblings had two different user names online, and I did not realize I was conversing with the same person. I found it very upsetting, I felt betrayed.

I know, I shouldn’t find it funny, but for me and my broken humor it is! 
I’m sorry.
But then I can understand you, and how you felt. I think, if I would have been in the same situation as you, I think I would’ve feel the same way.
I’m sorry for finding it funny, and for you.

No apologies needed, my sibling found it even funnier. I got over it.
@chueen, you’ve thought out a good first topic for a post up, I think you’ll get many replies.
btw, I’m currently in 
ja!l, and won’t be out for another 12hours.

Hello, and welcome aboard!
What can I tell you… Everyone is fake and weird too. 
I strongly recommend that you protect your innocence by refusing to disclose personal information. But I would not worry too much. Websites are only interested in one thing. No, not that! Your credit card numbers, of course.

What a jerk! But also pretty funny.
Anyway, worry not. This one time, I replied to my own comment, forgetting I was the original poster. How nuts is that?

I agree with all you’ve said, in both post.

Please note: I am currently in ja!l. I have another 12 hours of time.

You’ll experience it, the more you are active.
Maybe this will explain better, a picture is worth a thousand words.

Oh, okay. Thank you, for explaining it to me. Because I thought it means jail, and I was like: “What? Are you a criminal?” 
But now I know it better.

ahh I remember being in the same place as you and @padmalayag I was so frustrated when I got that popup! I’m glad I don’t have that problem anymore and can like all of your amazing posts! 
To answer your question, @chueen… I think there’s a limit to it. Don’t disclose your name if you want to, but don’t ever let people have misunderstandings about you. I was once in a group chat where a guy pretended to be a girl and had everyone fooled. That feels like a total betrayal and I was kinda scared and weirded out.
I do use a fake name when I sign in to websites I’m not completely sure of. I wasn’t even sure of Viki at one point of time, so I gave my fake name instead. I gave my real first name on my Viki home profile recently because I volunteer here^^
Viki still calls me by the nickname it has made of my fake name though 
First names don’t really matter all that much, just be careful when disclosing your full name and DON’T disclose phone numbers, addresses, and other private info… I’m sure you already know that
You don’t really have to disclose your name here on Discussions, though…everyone here calls me Vivi because that’s my username. Most people here will call you “Chueen” or just tag you, though I did see that you said your name was Yang Suah on the introductions thread…
