Saying that somebody is automatically more credible than some one else just because of the name that they are using might just be the dumbest premise I've ever heard. What you are saying is that if Chuck Elias is now posting here again under an anonymous <i>nom de net</i>, he doesn't have the same credibility as when he posted under his real name.
And he would be just as annoying.

And I can think of dozens more that I failed to mention too, Billy. That group might even include an anonymous poster called BillyMac.:)

Fixed it. Wouldn't want you to lose any more credibility than you have now(if that's possible).

Btw, you misspelled "mispelled". Just saying.

I may not be credible but I think making this list makes me "esteemed", or does it mean I have an esteemed member? I'm always confused about that. :confused:

Thanks. I think. I just hope that you're not confusing me with the Billy Mac (note the space between the two words) who occasionally posts on the NFHS basketball forum. We share similar philosophies when it comes to basketball officiating, so it's easy to confuse us. Here's a photograph to help tell us apart. I'm the one in the striped shirt.

I thought that was his real name - Percival Jaques OldSchool.

You see where he says "etc., etc., freaking etc"?

That 3rd one would be you.

I think it makes you a valued member. You can use that membership for discounts, you know.

I agree with your point here...not using a name doesn't mean a person is not credible. There may be many reasons a person doesn't use their real name....most of them legit. However, you do have to admit that most of the "idiots" who show up here don't use their real name.

True enough, but there's nothing that says if they use a "name" that it has to be theirs. There's no accountability.

There can't be too many Snaqwells that live in the Mountain Time Zone, a low population density area. We'll track you down. You can run, but you can't hide.

I think BillyMac makes a good point. It's not just about identifying ourselves. It can also be about identifying people who work with, above, and for us when those people may not appreciate it. Some handle this differently, by carefully not making statements that can identify anyone else. Others choose to post under aliases.

Hell, your supervisor probably doesn't even know your real name. She calls you "that short, crabby l'il jerk that pisses off my coaches". I heard that she said if you didn't have that amazing ability to stick your tongue out and lick your eyebrows, you'd never get another game from her.

That oughta do it for this thread......:D
