Care to tell the public here just how the great and powerful catspaw can distinguish between anon guests in threads? And why the world should consider such proclamations public service announcements?

toadfrog asked for clarification of the terms I was using, which was perfectly legitimate. I followed up with a post I hope did that. Unfortunately, when I'm on a roll I forget how I often my analogies don't work for everyone, and can confuse people, myself included at times!

Does catspaw think the membership is so stupid they can't sort this guest identity out without his assistance?

Its up to the folks now. You want to play catspaw and Bobert's "lets unmask the anonymous troll game" or do you want to actually have a conversation without the flaming? As always, the choice is yours, and not mine. Wouldn't be the first time I just withdrew from the conversation when catspaw decided to ignite his flamethrower in a thread where everything is going just fine.
