Hidden Usernames- Are they slithering snakes to be avoided?

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?




What do you think?

This is the thread Thad would not start.

Just my thoughts- I have seen a couple of posters that upon reflection were probably "alter-egos" of another. If I picked up on that, then I was certain others who aren't as generally clueless as I am would have seen it as obvious.

I'm comfortable with the way things are. Can the system be abused? Sure, for a short time. Then the admins have come in and sweep up the mess. The alternative would be something less fun for the general user. And remember, this is supposed to be fun. Let's not take ourselves too seriously.

On the other hand, it should also be spiritually supportive and educational in a meaningful way.

So, like boxers getting ready for the title fight, we throw ourselves against the ropes to get a feel for the boundaries of the ring before squaring off...
