I, for one, was not talking about members using their REAL names, just a consistent handle. I still think it would slow down the nastiness somewhat. A lot of us know some other Mudcatters in Real Life too.

Of course I realise that you can be a member with a handle that doesn't give away your real identity, and those like Martin Gibson MAKE SURE that nobody ever knows who they really are. Bue he/she/it was finally banned. I also realise that those who really want to deceive could have multiple memberships, and that is probably hard to police.

I STILL think that having Members Only would be an improvement.
