Ah, come on, let's be nice to each other. There really are no consequences to posting -- anonymously or not -- except for those you choose to accept. This is the internet, and most of us are pretty anonymous when you come right down to it. If I say something stupid (which I do, on a regular basis), and somebody tells me I said something stupid, that's just one anonymous individual to another; I can get upset, or accept it as legitimate (if tactlessly expressed) criticism, or disregard it altogether. I post a lot in this forum, but always as "Whistle Stop" (which is not my real name, you know).

If we can stay away from bashing each other for our own views of internet etiquette, and get back to the music, I think this could prove to be a very interesting thread. For instance, I thought Keli had an interesting perspective on performers who don't talk to the audience; not an opinion I share, necessarily, but I'm open to revising my views based on thought-provoking comments like that. Any other thoughts out there that people want to share?
