quilp Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Is there really any significance in using ones, "real name?" Does it add credibility to the poster? Do posters using their "real name" see themselves as more virtuous, more honest? Poor argument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I slander or threaten someone, they can take appropriate action against me. Woody posts quite vicious insults and in this latest instance wishes my family dead in a terrorist attack because he disagrees with something I have written. He does so under anonymity. I normally ignore or tolerate his aggressive, unpleasant posts but in this instance he has clearly gone too far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He accused him of hiding behind his keyboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's basically lone wolf or a couple of nutjobs that then get attributed to this mystical enemy that we invented in the first place. If only.

I'd rather know what somebody really thinks than know their name. If you are signing off on everything you post it obviously is going to have a bearing on what the individual contributes. In the real world we all run businesses or have jobs and would have to modify our output, particularly in a small community where one contrary view or another could leave us at a disadvantage. It shouldn't but it could. We are all human. More virtuous? More honest? No. Probably just less candid and the place would be rather tame and far more circumspect. As for Guzzi, I had never noticed his name under his avatar before and had no idea it was there until just now. I was going to point out that the anonymity is just a day to day utility anyway because there isn't any hiding place for posting actionable content, but Woody beat me to it by quoting the conditions.

I keep telling you, it is affect in that context and not effect. I have no idea where you find the things that you attribute to me above. Certainly not in anything I have written. But as I have observed already, your comprehension of written English is very limited. The correct things for you to do now are: 1. Apologise for expressing the hope that I or my family are killed in a terrorist attack because my opinion differs from yours. 2. Apologise for falsely accusing me of hiding behind a keyboard. 3. Refrain from being making distressing and insulting posts in future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So ONCE AGAIN you demonstrate that you know NOTHING about the religion that you criticise so much and so persistently. FYI a child is introduced to shul on the eighth day after birth where the child is given his or her Hebrew name. That name is a name that is very often separate from the conventional name that appears on his or her birth certificate. Why? I'll tell you. Tradition (cue music from Fiddler on the Roof!)
