Fred, if you were referring to the anon who posted this and this (note the pointy head resemblance), then I'm yer anon. If I called you paranoid, you have my apologies. What I am recalling though, was that I was pointing out (with humor) the delicious irony of the "let's be paranoid about anon guests" tendencies (and agendas) of certain Mudcat members (see Flame Warrior Xenophobe), who themselves are ill behaved twits playing the I'm a member posing as anon guest game. The trolling and flaming that goes on here is wonderfully illustrated at the links above to a very talented illustrator's dead on interpretation of the social dynamics of chat forums, which reflect the dynamics of the forums themselves. If you'd like, I can tell the history of the forum with his illustrated examples, and I encourage everyone to try that. We wouldn't want to be stuck with a single official history of the forum, now would we? But you know how it goes Fred. If I have to explain it to you...
