The difference is why they want to cause a knee-jerk reaction or who it is they want to take pot-shots at.:nah

I agree the percentage is few...but they all espouse the same rhetoric...unchristlikeness.

I signed up anonymously not because I was afraid to speak my mind (what little there is), nor was I worried about the UPCI coming to get me, nor because of the folks on the forum. I just didn't want someone from outside the forum with nefarious intent getting information about me personally or my family.

For instance, if a burglar was smart he'd troll sights like this to find out when folks are going to be gone to conference or vacations and then he or she would be able to find the address (even a map right to the house) of said poster and away they'd go ransacking and pillaging the posters valuable stuff.

World wide Webb is just that world wide and it's not very private or secret.......

Some choose anonymity for a viariety of reasons. I will say that the particualr environment of a particual Forum does make a major difference. The criteria for membership makes a major difference.

For the most part I post the same regardless if of whether I am on a Forum by my real name or one with a screen name.

Some of the points made on this thread are valid IMO. Others ar eout in left field, IMO. But then again, there are very few things that are blanket statemtns that can be made unequivocably.

I probably am amongst those that some of you consider the one who hides behind anonymity (although many here do know who I am) and takes random potshots, etc. Maybe I do at times but most of the time I try to post substance and/or encouragement.


As a rule I avoid threads about personalities (even on JP and WS) and prefer to discuss issues. I almost never post about specific standards on any Forum.

Rhoni, at times we have sparred and I have been quick to rain on your parade. And you have responded in kind. However, please know there have been many prayers prayed over the situations in your life.

Although I seldom post here I do still lurk a good bit.

Ultimately, I am not sure why it really matters here what another Forum does. IMO, the poster who said even less folks would post if they had to use their real names here was dead on. And that is not limited to just the "horrible con" element that is becoming incredibly rare around here.

Blessings!

Bro.RRFord,

Since I do know who you are it is easier for me to speak with you. We disagree in many areas but there are some very important things we do agree on. I do appreciate your prayers and hope you pray the will of God and that God open my understanding to His way and not that I conform to the ways that many others believe.

It is my understanding of scripture that we all see through a glass darkly, but one day we will see things as Christ sees them and we will be surprised about how off the mark we all are.

I do thank God for his mercy and His grace.

Respectfully, Rhoni

I post with a screen name for all the reasons stated above. Anyone who wants to know who I am can go to my profile and find out or pm me and I will tell them. I do not do it to hide behind anything, but I do think that the web is a big place and I just think it is best for me and my family that I use a screen name.

I don't want anyone in the world to google my name and find all the posts I've written. It's a privacy/security issue.

I think I'm pretty safe there.

If people google my name, the first 17,00 pages or so are in reference to a certain swimmer!

I think they'd get bored before they find anything out about me!

LOL!

Just think if by chance one of them slipped by and someone thinks MP the swimmer is looking our way!
