A complete prat, of which there are two in this thread posting as Guests (one Guest in this thread is not a prat as it happens), attacks posters with impunity, yet such twits are the first to bleat about how vital it is for them to protect themselves. Bullshit. They must think they're as important as Paul McCartney or Prince Philip or something. I'm far more inclined to bite back at an anonymous Guest who's being an idiot than at some of the confirmed idiots here. There is very little positive input here from unlogged-in people posting as Guests. Allowing that freedom is indefensible on any rational grounds. It debases the culture of the place. A respectable and estimable website such as this one should not be open to drive-by offensiveness. You can't even look at the posting history of any particular Guest as they're all bundled together as one. Stupid. Not all anonymous Guests insult, but a lot of them do. "You can post with a unique user name when you're logged in." What's so bloody hard about that? What's so restrictive or undemocratic? You're still just as anonymous! If you feel got at you can change your user name anyway. Let reason prevail and let's all know consistently who we're talking to, even if it's just to a nickname.
