some of you 'guests' simply refuse to see the point. That 'complete stranger' you met on the plane DID have an identity, if not a name. You could look them in the eye, and if two more strangers walked up and joined the conversation, you could reply to them as individuals. Even a blind person responds to different voices and keeps their interactions discrete.

But there is a very good reason for a legal principle of 'being confronted by your accuser'...if you were hauled into court and read pieces of paper supposedly from 5 different people accusing you of offenses, and the court refused to tell you who these accusers were, you would NOT like it.

Yeah, there are levels, and some of the 'guest' crap here is only silliness and joking, but for the serious stuff, or even semi-serious stuff, it simply is rude to hide behind a mask of **TOTAL** anonimity. Seems that some have less problems being rude than others.

The point has been made several times....if you can't be yourself for some good reason, be SOMEONE consistently for the duration of that discussion...dump your cookie and be Rumplestiltskin, but not just 'guest'
