Buddha3 - you are a big, strong tough guy but I am a comparatively weak & feeble woman. I have been verbally abused by people who felt that comments I'd made on the boards were directed at them, and I can tell you now that a bunch of big fellas leaning towards me all shouting is very, very intimidating indeed & rather scary.

Now I don't even hide behind a regular net name, as far as I know I'm the only regular UK tourney player named Liz (& certainly the only Chick with that name) & have no problems with being associated with what I post hence I log in under my real name. BUT - I can completely understand people who want a little anonymity sometimes.

Take the situation of a pro player who wants to put his/her views across, but they are in opposition to their team's sponsor's views. The player really wants to make a good point but if they do, either they are kicked off the team or the whole team may lose sponsorship. I'm sure there are other situations where anonymity would be wanted for valid reasons.

Equally, I completely agree that we need to do something about people who create new identities just so they can insult someone else safely, or cause controversy for the sake of it. So I think the mods would have to take every situation on it's own merits, and also remember that sometimes people really, honestly do register as members specifically because they want to join in on a particularly "interesting" discussion.

BTW - anyone know how to get rid of a second identity here? I have another ID that wouldn't work so I re-registered myself as a new member, but can't get rid of the old one!

You bring some very good points up there Liz.
Like you I post not only under my real name but under my full real name, I stand by what I post also.

Anyway this looks far too much like debate, shouldn't we be having slanging matches?

Like I said earlier, if people feel the need to do things from the cover of another id, then fine. But don't expect me to have a lot of respect for it. (how did I suddenly become the bad guy? I haven't attacked anyone, it's just that I have strong principles on this matter)
Liz, I may be a big man, that has the potential to scare off would be assailants, but the events that have given me this opinion were not revolving around me, but rather around someone I care very much for.
Please guys, I have no intention to go on some moral crusade on this issue. I just stated my opinion, that's all. It's not like I explode into a fiery ball of wrath when I see these things happen, it's more like I sit in fromt of my computer softly muttering 'chicken****'.
Personally, if I feel something needs to be said, but I fear the consequenses, I will talk to people around me first, people I feel I can trust. If that doesn't help me feel better, I'd go public with it, but always under my own name. If I feel the flashback from going public will be too much for me to handle, I'll just have to live with not saying it then. But that's just me.
So please give me some slack for just trying to be a straight up guy, nothing more, nothing less.

Hey Jay, I wasn't attacking you just putting my own side of the argument. I can understand your point of view it's just that my personal view is that for most rules there will be the occasional exception, and this is one of those areas.
The potential for people to take things personally on these boards (whether intended or not) and for people to misunderstand posts has been shown many times here in the past, so there's another reason for some people to be a bit careful with their real identity especially on a controversial subject.

Give us some slack - we're not all strong & brave like you, some of us are a bit wimpy & scared

 

[SPARKLIE CHICK]

Buddha liz is not talking about you rather an insident i did not whitness but was never the less an unpleasant one.

I might call my self sparklie but I also make my self known as such and would say far from hide behind it. If I want to say some thing I do I am sure you have all realized this by now!

Un like liz, girlie I may be but scare easliy pha but it is not nessacery to intimidate any one just because of cross wires and miss understandings. Sadly most of the ultrafications seen here are all down to that misunderstandings.

Surley as ballers with such an obvious way to prove our self and vent steam these should be taken to a feild and shot out rather than making veins throb. on offence sir

Some times in all walks of life we have to agree not to. Some things need saying and to the greater good not every body has the strength in their convictions or chareter to weather such storms, so to be able to say the stuff that needs to have light shead on it in this way is a good thing we all agree this is not to be abused for trash talking

I also have very little respect for bullies by the way, so if something like that happens again, and there is some way I can help, give me a shout. I know it's not likely, but the offer is there none the less.

Sorry guys, I guess I may have been a little on edge today. Perhaps because of the recent 'all moderators must be taken outside and flogged' movement. So I guess I was taking things a little too personally. Damn, I guess I'm only human after all...(a lot of human, but human none the less )
