Thanks for your welcome Simone. Good to see you her too. Also, thank you for your considered approach and understanding.
What you have said about other sites’ rules is broadly true. However, Mongo does respect the rules of this site and its members and administrators. It is proper that all sites have their respective rules complied with. It was only after being assured that he was not breaking any rules of this site that he decided to stay. Provided the rules are respected, the rest is really up to personal likes and dislikes - and Mongo thinks he understands both.
Since you have asked the question more than politely and with genuine curiosity (which Mongo understands too well), Mongo thinks you should be given some answer. Initially, there were reasons for not wishing to identify himself . Later, the whole mystery, character and fun of who Mongo had developed into would be largely lost if Mongo was revealed or became someone else. Besides, by now, Mongo is a very real and whole creature that comes fully to life and automatically when he logs in to various sites. So, changing or wishing to change does not at all seem an option nor desirable. Mrs Mongo is not yet concerned that one day, Mongo may be lost in himself and not return to the real world.
Other sites like Mongo’s mystery and anonymity and actively preserve it. The few that have met him always make excuses that he was too fast or ate their cameras etc as to why they have no photographic evidence of his existence. Essentially, they like the game too.
At least 3 real people on this site have met Mongo and one he sees on a regular basis. Mongo is able to tell you that as a consequence of having done so, none has subsequently grown copious hair or developed excessive indiscriminate eating habits or more importantly, started to speak in the third person or call themselves Madonna, Pink, Prince or Cher or any other single name.
Mongo hopes this helps satisfy some of your curiosity
