So when I send you the email about who is shooting at me, get the answer, and post that full name on the board, is that an infraction? If so, why?

I personally am not too satisfied with being attacked by some tool who doesn't even have the guts to post his or her real name due to alleged "privacy" issues that causes them to be anonymous while they're shooting at you. Being "private" is all well and good until you enter the fray. Then, IMO, you should forfeit that right. Understanding that was the problem which caused this post in the first place, the proposed solution doesn't fix it.

Hi Kenny
And I am not comfortable with how it's been going. Give me a solution that works for everyone. Now, that being said, I think if you re-read my statement you will see that there is an "out". And by "out" I mean if someone gets too out of control then their name can be put on the board...otherwise, I am all ears.

ps...not sure about you putting the name out there. If I say yes, it will cause a sh** storm and if I say no it will cause a sh** storm...tough one...I am sure I wouldn't give you an infraction...maybe a verbal warning

So my question stands and remains unanswered: When I send you that email, get that name, and publicly post it, what happens?

Kenny

And my answer stands...did you read my PS in the post?

asked my question as you were editing your answer, but it's still not an answer

Really..... I said it would be a verbal warning

.
Kenny- I don't think people should be able to hide behind their USER ID's.....it ain't going to happen on this watch. However I want to also give our members a place where they don't have to have their name in lights for all of the reasons mentioned. I am still listening for the perfect solution.

Thus:

"Privacy" is a back seat in controversial issues. If you want to post on those threads --- that is your right -- but it is also everyone else's right to know who is saying what about them.

I will put in a caveat, if a thread gets controversial AFTER a few posts -- and you posted early before anything broke out and did not instigate in any way --- then you are OK with that. This protects someone from posting in a thread like looking for partners in REA Lots and then 20 posts later a war breaks out. Obvously, you had nothing to do with that issue and thus why should you be penalized.

But, if you make a post in a thread knowing it's controversial, then I agree with Kenny and David, your name needs to be out there.

Regards
Rich

When does Elkins get out of jail? And when he gets out is he allowed to keep his guns and explosives? Let's answer these questions first.
