Subject: RE: PRS Performing Rights Gestapo
Les - that doesn't answer my question: and how does adding a "Name" eg "the Villan" change any of that? especially when one adds their name it is questioned "If that is your name", maybe "Guests" should have to post a copy of their passports before you let them join your discussions?
The rebuff was not that I didn't register before offering my opinion on the reference to "Gestapo" but that I didn't say who I was or give a name of some sort.
And as for joining "Mudcat" I can see no real advantage in doing so unless I, and other non-registered "Guests" are refused opinion and their right to express it, neither is a fee charged for membership to help with the running cost that must be incurred, so what advantage is there in joining?

Nonetheless, the rule here is that if you wish to post, you must use a consistent name. We've had too much trouble with manipulation from people who refuse to use a consistent identity. We don't require membership and if you wish to post as a (named) Guest at Mudcat, that's fine - but my mother always told me that Guests are expected to be on their best behavior. -Joe Offer, Forum Moderator-
