I really, honestly find the rape analogy a terrible thing to use. People have complained about the term Folk Nazi - and I find this just as offensive. Anyone who has actually been raped would know that this is nothing like it.

Just because some people here have used the guest feature to use multiple handle in order to hurt and abuse, doesn't mean that everyone who posts under different names does it for the same reason or effect. The person I mentioned before who has multiple handles and I have met in real life has only just told me who one of her other handles is. And I had been debating with this persona for some time. I didn't get angry with her. No matter what persona you play, I think most people can tell if you are doing it for ill effect or for the fun of it - a piece of your main personality always shines through.
