Anonymity on the board?

[Rich Klein]

I'll lay claim to the off-quality 1990's cards

[Vol]

I am not only a new board member but also a new collector of pre-war cards. I appreciate that alot of folks here have, before the internet age, gained a wealth of knowledge and insight that comes thru with their posts. There was a time, yes I remember, that you had to carefully research things without the help of Google! You had to really work hard to learn about cards that were made over 60+ years ago. Now, all I gotta do is log on and read!

I just wanted to say thanks to Leon for this great message board. And thanks to all the members here. This isn't a democracy, and if Leon seems fit to ask a few things from the members here, why would anyone question him? This costs me exactly no dollars a month, yet I am on here each and everyday for an hour of more. Easily my most favorite place to frequent on the web. And by far the cheapest thing I do all week.

So, in my mind, this is Leon's world..What he says goes.

As Lebowski would say, "The dude abides."

Kawika... you forgot to mention your two security guards.. Mr Smith and Mr Wesson!

The Dude abides. I don't know about you but I take comfort in that. It's good knowin' he's out there. The Dude. Takin' 'er easy for all us sinners.

Interesting thread. Count me in the group (which seems to be very few) that think people should remain anonymous.

I agree with the point that if you're in a heated discussion with someone and you find out their name, then what? Why do you need that info?

It also seems to me that if the mods give out people's private info, they could be liable if someone does go postal. Dumb policy if you ask me.

That being said, I don't have a problem with the board owner knowing who his "customers" are, and moderating the board accordingly. It makes no sense that the personal information needs to be shared beyond that.

What's funny though is that SCT has precipitated this discussion. He's been banned from several sites as a troll, including some alts. You'd think he'd be smart enough to realize that some people here are also on other boards. Guess not.

You are either a liar or just enjoy saying ignorant things. I haven't been banned from ANY sites and I have not ONE "alt" anywhere on any site. You fail.
