[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by Brunton</i> <br /><br />This strikes me as complaining about not being able to categorize someone based on personal information, and having to actually evaluate the merits of someone's comments or opinions without being able to label them, whether positively or negatively. <br /> <br />Until they change their policy, Kalmbach has given us the right to be completely anonymous on these forums if we so choose. If someone disagrees with my opinion, or points out a mistake I've made, it makes no difference it that person is anonymous or not - what makes a difference is the validity of that person's arguments. <br /> <br />And pointing out mistakes or stirring the pot or what-have-you isn't necessarily bad anyway - If we can avoid the knee-jerk counter-attacks, these can lead to helpful discussions in their own right. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />My thoughts exactly. There seem to be a few people out there in Kalmbach forum land who consider whether a person has filled out their profile completely to be more important than the content of their posts. Personally I won't put my surname on (ID theft is a very serious danger) though I'll put a little biographical information. It's still easy to spot the trolls and corporate sock-puppets just on the basis of the content of their posts, so there's no need to reveal more than you feel comfortable to my mind.
