People use pseudonyms on the Internet for protection, and that's a wise thing. I don't think it's fair to "out" the true names of people who post here at Mudcat under a pseudonym - IF they use the same pseudonym every time they post. I won't accept "privacy" as a valid excuse for frequent name-switching - that's just manipulation.

If, however, your identity has been compromised by somebody "outing" you (as happened in this thread), check with me and we can arrange to switch your identity. I deleted a few "OUTING" posts from this thread.

Thanks.
