My chief issue with people who post anonymously has to do with those who post very opinionated statements that imply a certain amount of expertise, but who do not tell us anything that indicates they know anything about what they are talking about.
If David Kotkin, Quintino Marucci or William Wallace posted under either their real names or their stage names, I would know instantly who they were, Although it is as unlikely that Quintino Marucci would post here, since he passed away a few years ago, as it is that Peter Marucci would post here, since he is so miffed about being booted off. I have a big problem with anonymous flamers.

I hear ya Bill.
I just wondered how many others would realize it was Copperfield, Slydini or Ali Bongo if they would, or could, post under their real names and would readers accept their opinions or advice. By the way, I sort of miss Peter's opinions. |

I was wondering what happened to Peter.

There are a couple of guys, Peter included. Then there was Mark Lewis, Boy if there was ever a confrontational fellow, he was. I loved his posts. Another VERY well known guy comes and flames, I imagine him with a can of gas and a match. However when he isn't flaming he is a wealth of good stuff, I just wonder why some get the boot, others don't. I miss some of those posters. Consider some of the crap I come up with I wouldn't be surprised to be short lived myself. If I can't be Josh Riel, I go with Foreverriel. Otherwise, I just won't be there. My real name is also Joshua. Most people who know me call me "Sir". There was nothing of value in that post...

Despite the signature, wasn't sure which was speaking so I'll address them all - Thank you Sarah, Josh, Foreverriel, and Sir.

I think that sometimes content depends on who is saying it.
Can a 12 year old speak from experience? Lets say he gets it right simply by coincidence. Then does the opinion have as much weight? If you want your opinion to matter to people, you should give them the courtesy of your name at least. As for cyber stalking, well I just don't think anyone would bother with me.

I would think, the people who get the boot are repeat offenders and nasty posters with limited redeeming content. I've received a couple warnings, but have always backed down. I once even had a warning retracted, after the mod realized I was not the instigator. Also, since warnings are given in PMs, we don't know how the admonished reply. I'm sure some of them told the mods where to put their warnings.
