Hi Jeri, that's a reasonable explanation.

Over the years, you and Joe are the fair minded mods I most respect.
Other mods may have more prickly dismissive superior attitudes and temperament

Here I submit a revised version of my earlier post today:....

Folks are right to be upset at noxious imposters attempting to discredit members & named guests IDs.
But please don't get too carried away in anger at the antics of a minority of cowardly creeps
abusing the privelege to post as 'Guest'.

I applaud Max for championing [ or at least accepting ] the condiderable positive value
of anonymous guest status.

I for one prefer to post as either 'Guest', pick a jokey 'one shot' disposable name related to a particular point I am making,
or adopt a temporary name for consistent use in a thread I anticipate continuing to post in.

Please don't conflate the 'good' reasons for anonymity
with the imposter scumbags who hijack members names to cause disruption and rancour.

Also consider, if a post that could have taken anything up to 1/2 hour or more to write is apparently arbitrarily deleted
because a minor part, a sentence or 2, can be regarded as 'troll serving'
you might agree that is frustrating at the very least....?
