Guest; this is a serious question...

you say "To be honest, my only reason for posting as a GUEST (it would hardly take a great wit to make up a name)is the utter irrational hatred that the GUEST name inspires in some "

I may be way off base here - but to me this translates as "I deliberatly post in a mannner that I know will cause friction and animosity". That may not be what you MEAN - but it certainly is the way it is perceived.

if your intent is NOT to cause dissension - then why do you choose an action that you KNOW will cause dissension?

this is of course seems to be in direct contradiction to a follow up statement in your same post " I always try to post as if I was writing to my mom "

Love/hate relationship?
