There isn't a Redwatch any more and hasn't been for years. And why drag redness into this!

Here's the point. This is a music website that also allows wider-ranging discussion. Your presence here is entirely voluntary. If you feel at risk by revealing your true identity to other members, you're almost certainly (a) wrong, (b) egotistical. Maybe you're not as important as you think. So let's have a rule that each member's profile contains their true identity. If you don't like that rule, well you won't die by not coming here. My guess is that everybody already here would still be here. And a few other nice people too who are not here at the moment. Good manners would be de rigeur. Bad manners would be rare, such would be the improved ethos.

Take a look at that Gaughan forum. There's plenty about it I don't like and I'm an occasional contributor only. There are sensible people, hard-noses and downright bloody nitwits, just like here. And you can swear a lot. But there are no anonymous guests and there is no trolling and, in general, people are reasonably nice to each other even when they disagree. Supportive, even, when someone goes off half-cock. The moderator operates only occasionally and always with a light but firm touch. To a very significant degree, it's because anonymity is not allowed. We can have that if we want.
