I think MMario is being pretty reasonable, and naturally is forced into being repetitive but there are SO many reasons that some might choose to be anonymous. Lets face it, not everyone on Mudcat is playing with a full deck. There are people who are willing to take grudges and apparent slights a long way, and occasionally these situations leave the confines of the net and can impact negatively on someone's private life. There are other times when you simply don't feel like being called "shite", or told to f**k off when you're part of a controversial discussion. It's almost a given that the posters who get flamed the most are the ones who express themselves civily. I have no problem with "guests" who simply don't think that being a street fighter is a prerequisite for participation.

There is nothing wrong with being a "guest" and never was. The ones who demonstrate viciousness or "attitude" get called to task, the ones who ask or answer questions, or who can chat like adults have always been welcomed. Yes, this is still "the net" but wouldn't you agree that it's still hanging in there as one of the "bright lights"?
