Discussion and Names

Treat it as if we're in a room with real people, face
to face.

Unfortunatly, I don't know that the others are showing their true face. I'd rather not give a name, than give a false one. Unfortunatly, others are sure to not feel the same.

Call it prudish, if you will, but anonymous
flamers and spammers and people screaming conspiracy
don't merit due regard.

But what of anonyous people with good and reasoned points? Again, you use emotive comments instead of addressing the point. People can read my points, and refute, disagree or just ignore. I don't see how having a name attached to the point makes it any more or less valid.

In short, I don't care if it is Britney or Anna K personally inviting me to see their latest nude pictures on the net, or if it is someone named "NudeCelebs". This is SPAM regardless of the name of the sender.

Likewise, someone pointing out potential flaws with a proposed ranking system, has points that are valid or invalid, regardless of a name being attached to the email.

Having your name on the email, didn't keep you from comparing me to "a chimp throwing dung", calling my ideas "childish rubbish", or comparing me to a hooded protester throwing smelly stuff at people trying to deal with difficult issues. Having a name attached to the email didn't stop ME Games from comments "WOW! Finally a positive comment." Going for 9 months without giving a real name, didn't cause me to treat others with the disrespect I've been shown.

Charging people the same for less service was a BAD move. Adding a ranking system that will encourage people to play lots of game, instead of a few games well, is also a BAD idea. Having, or not having, my name attached to the message does not change the content or corectness of the message.

Yours turely,
Thomas Jefferson.
