My only complaint about anonymous posters is that it is very difficult to have anything resembling a "conversation" when one doesn't know how many guests one might be attempting to converse with. ESPECIALLY given the history of certain periodic guests on Mudcat who are abusive and antagonistic.

I read anonymous posts, I simply usually don't bother to respond anymore because said guests are sometimes day visitors who won't be back and some are deliberately antagonistic. If you don't want to be considered a heckler, don't yell things from the safety of a crowd.

It does not remove one's desire to achieve anonymity by picking a consistent handle within a given thread, and refusing to do otherwise while expecting to have one's rude comments of a personal nature to another user taken seriously is simply impolite.

And that's all I have to say about that.
