We do not want names for ad hominem attacks. That is a ridiculous assertion considering that most people here either have a regular soubriquet or post under their own names, and some of us who do post under our own names, me included, post fearlessly without bothering whether some clown might ad hominem us. Just stop being so falsely bloody "sensitive", aka so bloody full of your own importance. The truth is the other way round: we have at least one person, possibly several, who wish to post anonymous bile with impunity, as you do. The only person who ever calls me antisemitic, for example, is an anonymous guest, almost certainly YOU, so do me a favour and cut out your tiresome hypocrisy. This sort of nonsense is all over the internet and it is most unbecoming of this website, which has pretentions to erudition, to put up with it. The answer is blindingly simple and incredibly democratic: you don't get to post if you're not logged in, and you don't get to post unless you have a unique user name. There should never, EVER, be a post under "Guest", and I don't give a damn whether or not my supposed allies here agree with that or not. There is actually not one good reason why, on a website of this nature, anonymity should be necessary. Some of the finest folk musicians and writers about folk post here either under their real names or, at worst, under a very lightly disguised name. So what I propose is a compromise. You can keep your anonymity. I neither know nor care who pete or akenaton really is, but at least we know that when they post it's the same person every time. That's all I'm saying.
