The Mudcat double standard of blaming anonymous guests for behaving like--asswholes, is it?--while tolerating the same bad (or worse) behavior by members. Bad behavior is bad behavior, regardless. The ways people rip on newcomers in this forum is shameful and inexcusable (IMO). I've been coming and going here for years as a guest, but since the change to member/guest, I think the uniqueness and friendliness you used to see here is gone, except for the precious few.

It seems the "unwelcome" mat is always out for guests, anonymous or not. And that is really sad.
