Well Amos, your first paragraph happens to be the exact description of the Gaughan forum. And do you know why? Well, it's precisely because anonymity is not allowed! Do go and have a look. Actually, I'm pissing myself off somewhat here as that forum is, in many respects, not at all up my alley, and I don't want to keep sounding as though it's the be-all and end-all. But see past the usual quota of eejits, ne'er-do-wells and rampant Scotophiles (shit, that's me banned!) and you'll find a polite forum but one in which saintliness is not held to be a virtue. As I've been saying, over there you do know who you're talking to, though there's no feeling at all that you're somehow broadcasting your personal data to the whole planet. It's a complicated place replete with redundant and semi-redundant sub-forums but it works. And it works because you are, in the final resort, not anonymous, and because you must be signed up before you post. Simple really.
