Point taken, RG.

But the ones from truewest and balbulican (I haven’t seen Ti-Guy’s) were entirely civil, as were mine.

Honey, I wouldn’t blame Arnie from deleting comments from those guys. You are civil though. Stay that way, ok?

I put the word “outed” in quotation marks for a reason, Arnie, but you’re too thick to grasp my point. I’m talking motive here, you little weasel.

(Why the insult? Well it seems that Speech Warrior Arnie, when given the keys to Jay Currie’s place, immediately dropped the censorship hammer, deleting comments from truewest, Balbulican, T-Guy–and me. Somehow the word “hypocrite” seems so…tame.)

And what thread would be complete without a visit from that notorious cyber-stalker and suicide counselor NAMBLA-Dick? In just two people, we have every conceivable character flaw known to humanity. What economy!

John Baglow AKA “Dr. Dawg” lies constantly. When he’s not lying, he’s obfuscating and changing the subject in order to cover his tracks…

Dawg you really are a piece of work - your identity was well known well before I wrote that post. Dawg and the truth have never known more than the most distant of relationships.

Turnabout is fair play. Arnie “outed” me four days before it was done to him. Sauce for the goose.

I made the point at my place, and I’ll make it again here: if an anonymouse is going to out someone, then doing it right back is only fair.

(As you say, Wendy, I’m not anonymous. I use a self-deprecating pen-name, but anyone with 10 seconds to spare can Google me up.)

I am more than likely in the minority in fact I think I am definitely in the minority with this thought.
IF YOU WILL NOT SIGN YOUR NAME TO IT DO NOT SAY IT!!!
Maybe I am a relic of the past but it really pisses me off when people are afraid to stand up for their opinions. I post opinions on various blogs and every one of them have my name on it, EVEN THE ONES I WISH I HAD GIVEN MORE THOUGHT TO.
To me anonymity is a little boy hiding behind his mother or sisters skirt because he ain`t got no balls!
Say what you think and live with it. If you think you have been proven wrong admit it, apologize and carry on. THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT DO NOT MAKE MISTAKES ARE THE PEOPLE THAT ARE NOT DOING ANYTHING!!
