I disagree Amos. I think there is an obsession with identities in Mudcat--pseudonymous as well as anonymous, ancestral identity (have a look into "What is a Gael" or "Who Are You"), and nationalist identity in this forum. While the ancestral and nationalist identity issues are common in all folk forums, the pseuonymous and anonymous identity issues that have caused the biggest battles in Mudcat over the years hasn't been merely the province of disingenuous anonymous posters. Not by a long shot.
