Your blind spot, Big Mick, is thinking that anonymity is the issue. Hence your, and the merry band of clones obsession with playing the "smoke the guest out of the anonymity hole" game. If anything will destroy Mudcat, it will be this obsession. Not me or any other guest that posts anonymously and with different handles, which I have always admitted to doing. As have other guests.

I don't know what the lot of you think would be accomplished by "exposing" me. Never have been able to figure that one out. The "big issue" to you is obviously the fact that I don't use a consistent identity at Mudcat. That isn't an issue to me. I have no idea if my "true identity" is an issue to most posters here. But I'm guessing that most posters and lurkers here really don't give a rat's ass who I am, just as they don't give a rat's ass as to who Forum Lurker or Dreaded Guest or The Pooka or Gargoyle "really are". I mean c'mon, it ain't like I'm Chelsea, Bill, or Hillary Clinton Big Mick, so just how fascinating of a detail can my "real identity" be to people?

If Joe and the clones could actually get their egos around the fact that they are a tiny minority of posters here who DO want to "out" anonymous and pseudonymous posters, Mudcat would be a much better place. Your obsession is every bit as sick as those who attempt to "out" gays and lesbians they don't like. Which is really, really sick.
