Have said all along, I've no interst in joining. Have used GUEST log-in for my convenience, which it seems was the point of Mudcat providing it for GUEST use. Been here, engaged in extremely limited posting to linked threads on one subject: anonymous posting.

Used a name by which I could be identified on all posts, as netiquette requires.

Didn't fill in all the blanks--initially inadvertently. Shamed by forum cops.

Gave lame explanation, said I didn't think it mattered because I was just passing through, didn't intend to join.

Kept posting the way I had.

Finally, relented to critics, filled in the blank.

Sighs of relief from members. Finally!

And then: horror!

Members, who had made such a huge issue over my identity, which had always been there, now decide to ignore my self-selected identity, adding further insult to injury.

Demean me and my contribution further by affixing a pet name *they* feel comfortable with--and oh, think its grand.

Effectively erasing everything I've struggled to say in this and the GUESTS thread.

As if All were never here.

Isn't that what you all wanted? For All never to have come here? For anonymous posting not to be allowed in Mudcat?

Defacto, you've done it, despite nary a word in teh faq.

Proved you don't need written rules. The Lord of the Flies scenario played itself out again, to the desired effect some were so obviously seeking.

Subject of GUESTS and Posting Anonymously threads, safely defused.

There will be no one allowed to support anonymous posting in this forum by God! Blind prejudices. Petty tyranting. Power of the majority. Dissenting views, effectively silenced.

Redirected thread topics: Who is GUEST/All and why the hell won't she fill in the blank?

Quite the homage to Marie Antoinette, catters.

I remain as in the From line,

All
