I was recently accused privately in a PM, of being a hypocrite, because of my remarks about Guests who flame and my stand on it (written in a thread a while ago.) The writer felt that by not using my real name I was akin to an anon flamer and hence the alleged hypocrisy.

He/she missed my point entirely and I didn't dignify their comments with a response. I think if you are a member and are using a pseudonym consistently in all your posts, it is the same difference as using a regular name because over time you are known by whatever consistent name you use, but it invokes a little bit of privacy in the process and I think I'm entitled to that without being called a hypocrite.
