our forum will have to judge for themselves if this is only the poster's personal - view or something else.

No need to guess, Shambles. If you read what you quote you should see the words "I'll say it again". This is an indication that it has first been stated officially somewhere else.

Here is the original:

From now on, anonymous posting will be watched and controlled. We've had far too many problems with anonymous posters. If you want to post, use a consistent name. We're not requiring registration, although we certainly prefer that. You may certainly use a pseudonym as a user name, but please use that same name every time you post.
