I try to judge the content of the message on its own, regardless of whether it's anonymous or otherwise. Of course, intent is a lot easier to figure when you have previous information about the person posting. Sarcasm, humor, and irony can look an awful lot like flaming when you don't know the intent.

I have been Jim Bartholomew since I figured out that Jim Wisniewski didn't read well on a marquee in the 60's. It's my confirmation name, chosen when I was a mere slip of a weird lad. I always use it. I figure if you're not willing to stand by what you say, why say it?
