That's fine, Rapparee, except that it is abundantly clear that the bulk of what you posted, the unemphasised bit, is nothing like what happens here. It would be a simple enough matter to ensure consistent identities, by making all posters log in before posting and by insisting on unique usernames. This requires little or no overseeing on every other forum I'm on: the software takes care of it. I know that anonymous guest trolls are not the only problem, but they are a very large part of it. It's all about ethos, after all. A few rotten apples and all that.
