Anonimoosity
This whole business of "screen names" harkens back to those glory days of yesteryear when huge numbers of people had their CB's mounted and things approaching the size of the Eiffel Tower perched on their trunks (or drilled through the roof for the true believers). I heard the comment more than once that all it took to bring the male-chauvenist-pig side of an otherwise descent man out into full view was to give him a "handle" and a CB radio. The comment was well founded, but that was also long before the days of "data-mining" and ID theft.
I post under my real name which is a matter of public record. My address and phone number are listed in the AAW resource directory. I'm very easy to find which is confirmed by the amount of dead trees dropped at my door by the U.S. Postal Service each and every day of the week.
Most importantly, I take personal responsibility for what I say on this and any other board, and if someone doesn't like what I have to say, they know who it was who spake the blasphemy and are free to cross me off (or put me on) their appropriate lists.
Yo, like I'm in Joisey, awrite? Yeah, the "Attitude State."
So, ah, youz got sum kinda problum wit dat?
