Subject: RE: BS: Sometimes Anonymous is good
I agree with MG and McG. I must admit that I've never come in as a Guest to say something outspoken. If I feel the need to say something critical of another member or what is going on in here, I say it with my name. For me, saying nasty stuff under the guise of Guest is like wearing a cyber sheet. With eye holes. At the same time, I have no problem at all with Guests who for whatever reason just want to come in and join into the conversation in a non-inflammatory way. Sometimes folks are going through some tough stuff and want to talk about it, but feel that they can't with their regular identity. That's fine with me. I'd rather they do that than not come in. And McG, I believe that people have given other reasons for coming in as a Guest. You acknowledged that at the start of your message. If they feel the need for anonymity for reasons other than being obnoxious, I don't care whether they call themselves Guest/Aardvark, or just Guest.
