Suppose you answer a knock on your door the person identifies themself as 'a certain member' of Answermug, how would you react?

You might like to invite this so-and-so person to come in but first be reasonably certain and assured they are the fine so-and-so person who they say they are.

    I'd ask a question that would identify him or her positively.
    Randy D: "How do you feel about tildes?"
    Element-99: "How many electrons in the outer shell of a U-238 atom in its least excited state?"
    m2c: "How badly do you want to kiss His Royal Orangeness's fundament?"
    etc.

    Right, I suppose, yes but we Answermuggers are basically decent good people anyway...

    Agreed, but there are one or two I wouldn't want to invite in.

      That’s good to learn that there are only a few!

      (Comma after each of the words “door” and “in”.)

     I guess this means I’m not welcome at your place, right?



    :(

    I agree with spunky, there are one or two that I would slam the door in their face.

    Hey, I' m a cat person but at least three separate  times from different people and different dogs, I meet the humans' dog and the dog comes right up to me and gets close to me, happily, and the humans shake their heads in disbelief -- "This dog hates people! You're the first person that she/he has ever acted this way upon a first meeting."  I'm pretty awesome.  Ha!

    I trust dogs more and more easily than I trust humans! 

    Merry Christmas, Welby!
