You are wrong, McGrath. Everyone posting with the guest label doesn't render collective communication impossible, as long as we have the date/time stamp on each post. Which means you have to respond to what is being said, instead of your personal perceptions of a person.

Which means you wouldn't be able to be as lazy about communicating as you are now. The whole real/fake name thing on Mudcat is an illusion created by the little man behind the curtain claiming to be the great and powerful Oz. That's what was proved with the glitch.

You, and the handful of others around here with the profound discomfort of people posting anon, constantly use the name label as a lazy form of shorthand for not having to respond to what a person says, rather than who they claim to be.

C'est la guerre.
