Sniping? I was simply offering a differing opinion to you! This site is clearly ruled by the mob and is an unreasonable place, and the owners should reign aggressive morons like you in.

Dr Guy, have you never posted on a blog or forum you are not registered with?

They can be your mother for all we know. register and stand. You have.

But you could still be my mother for all I know, whether you're registered or not.

Go to your room!

I normally don't take not-logged-in posters seriously for the simple reason that there's no real continuity or accountability on their end of the discussion.

I have an account here, a blog here, a name here. I post something while logged in, it becomes part of the overall picture of myself that I'm presenting here. It's an investment. It may be I'm making a bad impression; if I'm afraid of being held accountable for the stupid things I may have said yestreday, or last week, then I'd surely post without logging in (or even without registering).

Show me someone who posts without logging in or registering, and I'll show you someone who doesn't want to be remembered tomorrow for what they said today--that is, an unserious conversation partner.

Not that people who do log in are guaranteed to be serious... they're just guaranteed the benefit of the doubt, and a serious reading of their posts.

If "Geroge Galloway" wants to be taken seriously, let him present a body of work that includes several articles over several weeks, under his own account, rather than whatever pointlessness is going on here.

Or at least leave a link to his blog so that we can read what else he's had to say. To me, that is what seperates the "snipers" from the welcome visitors from other blogs. I know a lot of people from other blogs come to mine, but they are usually people who I read... or "talk" with at the Blog Explosion Shout box. Either way, they don't jump in, take a shot and disapear.


BTW George, Colon Bin Gangrene is NOT a scapegoat or a bogeyman, he is merely a great example of one track minded pissants who try to turn every discussion into a reason to bash Prs. Bush and class warfare. Even if the topic isn't even political.

Here is an article about me.

Copy and paste because I can't post links.

Oh, that is good.

Done. Out of curiosity, KG, was your request based on your own ideas of JU etiquette, or did you have Section 3.(i) of the JU TOS in mind?

The forums are syndicated.  It's a privacy issue to use a real blogger name or blogger nickname in a title since a search in google on their name would bring up the article.  If the article is positive, then we typically don't intervene, but if it is something negative, then the name needs to be removed.  This rule only applies to an article posted to the forums since articles not posted to the forums are not syndicated or moderated.

Ok Goergie, that's an article about you, but not your blog. The Sniper label stands.

Thanks, KG. That all makes sense. Have you considered making this more explicit in the TOS? It's no fun receiving implied threats of moderator action for something that isn't clearly spelled out anywhere as a policy violation. A mom-and-pop TOS combined with a big-corporate CYA enforcement policy can only lead to trouble.

No it isn't. Who says it is? This is about some MP in England who checked himself into some reality show house. Is this anonymous troll THE George Galloway? I can anonymously blog as Randolph Ignatz Mogar III if I want to. Or I can anonymously blog as George Galloway, too.

Put your money where your mouth is, troll flame boy. Let us see your true persona. If you're that active on modblog, let's see some of your work. Link us, baby.
