Thread Name: BS: Terrorism, Again (Israel)
Subject: RE: BS: Terrorism, Again (Israel)
It doesn't make me agree. The most civil forum I'm on is one on which everyone's real name is in their profile, which all logged-in members can read. You're allowed a pseudonym if you don't want to get googled, but it's surprising how many people don't bother with one. Crucially, and mods are you listening, your moniker is unique, there are no "guests" and you don't get to post unless you're registered and logged in. There is occasional bad temper but the need for moderation is rare. The Guest in this thread posts illiberal, bigoted nonsense BECAUSE he can hide behind his anonymity. You wouldn't imagine a logged-in member to expect to get away with calling someone a Jew-hater, would you? It isn't even possible to distinguish one guest's posting history from another. Ridiculous. His constant "explanation" for his anonymity is just a lie. Don't be fooled. May I just call him another name? He's a charlatan, and I think you know it.
