Fair enough. Here is the full text from the rules though:

"You may remain anonymous as long your post is not controversial or confrontational. Email addresses and full names are required in these cases. Anonymous posts that are controversial or confrontational will probably be deleted."

The way I read it is that the original poster is responsible for posting a name and email address in the case of controversial or confrontational emails. If the original poster fails to identify himself in such a case, a moderator will (probably) delete the post. Clearly that is not what happened. Instead of immediately deleting the post, discussion was allowed to continue, the original poster was outed by Leon, and then people piled on by chiding the OP about his hobby contributions and Napoleon reference. If it was just deleted right off the bat (no pun intended) I would have no problem at all. I'm really not trying to be annoying, it's just that I'm new here and this really kinda bugged me a bit. No offense Leon, from what I've seen so far I think you run a great site.

edit: Leon, we posted at the same time and I just wanted to add that I understand moderating a forum like this one is a daunting task and it's impossible to make everyone happy all the time. Best wishes.
