To the anonymous poster GUEST Date: 04 Dec 15 - 07:35 PM

I won't be drawn into futile arguments on Facebook but I will allow myself one post to explain the irritation that myself and others who object to anonymous posts of insults on Mudcat. I will quote from that post to help me to do this:-

His (by this GUEST means Jim Carroll) insistence that his view is fact rather than his view is bad enough, but letting him abuse others isn't the "best behaviour" the moderator seems to be wanting.
If any Mudcat member has an objection to a post by another member, he can take this up with that member without cluttering up the flow by using Mudcat's 'private message' system. I have used this method on several occasions in the past; with anonymous guests we can only object in the thread - and clutter it up.

How he assumes someone who wishes to remain anonymous is the same person as any other anonymous person is beyond me
It is beyond all of us to identify between anonymous posters and that is one reason why the moderators call for anonymous posters to be on their 'best behaviour'.

It ruins a decent thread. Mr Carroll, whoever he is, should be ashamed.
This from the anonymous poster who identifies themselves as the person who posted the phrase he's a plonker, total and utter. Any chance of such a phrase ruining a decent thread?
