musiclover,

I didn’t say the fate of the world was in the balance over multiple screen names, but since you mentioned “putting things in context”, let me help you out with that one.

I hope no one ever decides to target you by gathering all the personal information they can find from the forums and then they even go the extra mile by getting information that’s not the forums, not on Facebook or any other social networking site and then use that info to compile a detailed list of reasons about why you should eat your 38 Special. Then they create a “fake” screen name and post a dedicated thread recommending suicide. Let’s also say their post happens to coincide with lowest period you’ve gone through in your entire life.

I don't think I'd classify that as a "pot shot".

I also hope that no one ever posts a comment on the forum under a “fake” screen name accusing you of pedophilia and tells you that should be on the lookout for a visit from the cops, simply because you posted some clips from XFactor of a teenager singing on national TV.

If someone wants to post nasty comments, then they should do it under their one and ONLY screen name instead of taking the cowards approach and doing it anonymously. Using multiple screen names means you have something to hide or you're afraid to take responsibility for comments.

I hope that “puts things in context”.

Bob
