I was very careful in my choice of words.
I respect that people wish to remain anonymous. However I don't respect when they hide behind it while behaving in a disrespectful manner.

That's how I feel in my daily life - and I see no reason why I should feel any different when I'm in a forum such as this.
But I certainly meant no disrespect to anyone who simply wants to remain anonymous.
Jeff Mackwood Exactly. I too can't stand the cowards who throw nasty insults around because they think they can't be seen.

an interesting debate you two are having.  i say interesting because one of the two forums where things got the most out of hand (both during the 1050 beta & release and later during the 950 beta & release) is a forum that requires a "real" name. pat----

Was that on this forum? I don't remember that. I wasn't here for the 1050 beta & release, but I was here for the 950. Was that just for the beta testers or for everyone involved in the discussions?

JT,
no, the worst of the "attack threads" were primarily over on the two largest AV forums, one of which requires a "real name" for your screen name.

Judging from the pictures of the rear panel, I would guess that they decided not to include it. ------------------ gonk -- 950 Review | LFM-1 Review | Pre/Pro Comparison Chart | Saloon Links

Even when they use their real names (as is the case on HTF), people can use the facelessness of the internet to say things and act in a manner that would not happen face to face. ------------------ gonk -- 950 Review | LFM-1 Review | Pre/Pro Comparison Chart | Saloon Links

But that's not (specifically) the issue that Jeff was originally addressing, although it could be applied to that as well. Jeff was talking about numerous threads and individuals, primarily on other forums, who used the Internet as a platform for rudeness and obnoxiousness of a very accelerated degree. Speaking for myself, I speak (type) the same online as I would face to face -- the only difference is that I answer to "Jim" in person rather than "gonk". That's not to say that there's anything wrong with being a bit more open and vocal online than in person, just my personal style. ------------------ gonk -- 950 Review | LFM-1 Review | Pre/Pro Comparison Chart | Saloon Links
