Re: Real Names
This may bowl over many that know me, but I do support the use of pseudonyms on TOCH!. The reason for this turn of events is the recent dialog regarding Ed West first deciding to wait until an eBay auction was over to list the auction, then, under the weight of relentless badgering, changing his mind and going back to the way he used to do it. Poor "Nemo" was mercilessly attacked by people who, indeed, gave their names. Now, what if "Nemo" just happened to be one of our brethren who happened to support the initial change? Would he then be castigated by all as a pariah? What if he were an author? Would we start a boycott of his books?
No, I'm afraid this forum needs to allow the use of pseudonyms so that those that just happen to disagree with the disagreeable majority might be able to do so without being castrated by that majority. It wasn't a kindly discussion, but a public lynching. Regards, Richard
