Re: Real Names

USERNAME or LOGIN ID does not equal your signature, period...

It is IMHO the principle that some people find it very difficult to disclose their real names - as signatory, as login, or whatever - while they argue with people who do share their identity and in some cases their reputation.

In a way this is a debate about the very essence of TOCH!

IMHO respect starts with trust.

No name, shows a lack trust and often (leads to) a lack of respect.

I may differ from my fellow moderators on the general subject, that I am not against nicknames, but only if I know the men / women behind them. Once that's clear, you can have an even discourse.

I've started a public poll, I envite active members to participate.
