Hidden Usernames- Are they slithering snakes to be avoided?
 

Some of the usernames in place are users who said they would leave, and did not. I am ok with someone posting with a nickname instead of a real name. This is not to reveal some usernames. I would hope no Admin Team member would ever do this.

So can I come back on here as "Liberal" and blast away?

Can I come on here as "TeleEvangelist" and belittle and ridicule?

If I were to use an alter ego, how long until you would find me out from my posting and language use?


:coffee2

What do you think?

This is the thread Thad would not start.

:thad

I wonder if I could post as a Church Of Christ preacher and debate Apostolics ?

I confess to an alterego to test the board.

When my wife became more active, it was not needed.

I grant you absolution, one ball cap for redemption .

We only need one Dan.

Alter egos are ok if they are not used maliciously. Just ban them on their own merit.

IMO,
one username per IP address would be great but I guess it is not practical with family members and multiple access points.

Extra usernames should be $50/yr. If you think your alter-ego is so special I'm sure he's also worth it.

IMO, Alter-ego's (not just replacement ones) hurt a discussion board....but so does a lack of cash!

I think you would find me out very quickly? Unless I came on as an UC.

I FORGOT!

PM you address again.
I have a bad habit of not deleting them and so would take too long to find your addy again.

I promise to get it in the mail by Monday!

:sorry

If someone like PP does not reveal his real name for purposes of expressing opinions, or like another poster who doesn't wish their views to reflect on family members, I say go for it.

If a poster wishes to post something under another name to make a point and not reflect on their known standing here, I am fine with that.

But to change a username for the sake of ridicule and because they think they can, I find it insulting and unfair.
