While I disagree with brucie in his belief that it can ever be useful to respond in kind to flamers on the forum, more especially to those without names, I wholly agree with his comments ( 28 Nov 04 - 08:01 PM) about particular posts.

The ones he was referring to (I take it) were viciously cruel, were aimed at someone who had done nothing to deserve such an attack, and were in fact libellous. It was clearly desirable that they should be removed from the forum without delay.

Big Mick is (maybe) a lot better at identifying the different nameless GUESTS than I am. Though there ain't no way to be sure is there?

We had a thread soem time back where for a spell everyone came in as a nameless GUEST. It didn't last all that long, but long enough to demonstrate why such the forum is dependant on the rest of us using labels.
