GUEST,2:35 BS: Is anonymous posting to be encouraged? (78* d) RE: BS: Is anonymous posting to be encouraged? 12 Sep 04


I did, and found it incredibly refreshing McGrath. Enjoyed it immensely. For the first time ever since I've been here, we had a level playing field.

And if we could eliminate "How true" and "Me too" posts completely because people are too lazy to look at the date/time stamp instead of the from line, all the better, IMO.

As the Mudcat forum works now, trying to find ANY post further up a thread is a pain in the ass, not just anon posts.

Face it McGrath, you and a small handful of other influential members have an irrational fear about anon posters/posting on the internet. Why, I have no idea. And it is, of course, your right to be paranoid. But to run an entire chat forum based upon that irrational fear, and take it to the extremes it has been taken in this forum is just bloody sick and twisted.

You are also just being lazy. One can look at the date/time stamp just as easily as one can look at the from line. You're just an old dog refusing to learn new tricks, and trying to shame and blame all the young pups outrunning and outplaying you here.
