What I find curious is how the anonymous guests amongst us who promote equality and shout down bigotry get our posts deleted but if you post right wing, bigoted distortions such as the diatribe above, the moderators allow it to stay.

I post anonymously to ensure that if anybody does address my posts, it is the post rather than the person sending it that is considered. I got the idea from when a number of people with slightly different views all logged in as Musket. It was delightful to see the effect on those who prejudge. If I actually knew anybody here on Mudcat I'd try the same thing.

To insist on prejudging a view based on your prejudice of the person writing it says a lot.

Look at how anything from Dave the Gnome is trolled almost immediately by Teribus or Keith A of Hertford, or how anything the reactionary idiots on here see that offends them has to be Musket. Look at how anything Joe Offer says on a thread where religion raises its head is seen as the Vatican mouthpiece. Revel in anything by Jim Carroll being seen as communist.

No. I don't even blame Bruce for remaining anonymous. Although with his take, anonymity spares his embarrassment.
