My main issue is, say I start a discussion on the reality of little green men from the planet Grinobulax.
Every discussion I have after that will be, "oh, he believes that Obamacare is wrong, but he also believes in little green men from Grinobulax, so take it for what it's worth."
We, all of us, are nothing but an amalgamation, a construct of what we say and profess on this site.
How can I be taken seriously, if (in another thread) I stated how awesome Katie Perry is! (and she is awesome, sorry. . . )
I was beginning to wonder about you - Grinobulax? Really? Then, I read the last paragraph which clearly proves you are a genius - mad genius, perhaps, maybe even an evil genius, but GENIUS all the same.
The sheer obviousness of your commanding intellect, as revealed in that last paragraph, lends strength to the Grinobulax argument, and I am now certain that Little Green men come from planet Grinobulax. It has overturned my entire universe, this revelation. I was so sure, so positive, so CERTAIN that they came from Remulak (I hear it's a town in France), but now I know better.
Yes indeed - Katie Perry IS awesome! It doesn't matter that she kissed a girl and she liked it (hell, I kissed a girl and liked it, too - I can't fault her for that!), nor does it matter that she somehow perceives California girls to be relevant to life in the real world - NONE of that detracts from her sheer awesomeness!
We all have our little quirks, I guess... even Ms. Perry!
I have to get back to work now - I have a lot of adjusting to do in the plan for the invasion of Remulak, given this new information. I have to redirect resources towards reconnaissance of Grinobulax instead.
Anyone wanting to evaluate my politics on the foregoing should be made aware that I passionately endorse voting for Obama - early and often! One good term deserves another - let's make him Emperor for life!
I suppose your blather, Charles, about OThuga is obviously satire . . . sarcasm . . .
however . . . a tag would have been nice to make it clear for the dunderhead lurkers. LOL.
You know, I do believe that "tagless posting for dunderhead lurkers" is the entire thrust of Dirkgently's request! let them take it as they like, but refuse them the association with YOUR rep!
I think for a lot of people it boils down to a matter of "image", how they are perceived by others. Most people actually care about that, and while they hold ideas they may have been reviled for, they don't want to splash that all over themselves. In my case, it's different - I just don't care what other folks think, and it's not a matter of personal integrity to me. I can, however, understand how other people see it.
Would the posters who need to be anonymous, accept that the staff could find out? If not, would they accept that only I could find out? If neither is acceptable, then I have some real work to do.
At least one, namely you Charles, needs to have access to the 'Private Room' to make sure no one abuses the use of such a anonymous type situation in a way that could be hurtful to others
[ETA: That is if you decide to go through with this request]

@snarky412,
Our Staff Tech Bunny went offline about twenty minutes ago, probably when he discovered I was fooling with the site. He was crying and shaking his head when he left.
Would you do something for me? Go to the Anonymous, do not post board, make a second, new test thread and post something, even a few letters, doesn't matter. I'm planning on posting as sparky in a reply to your post and want to see what the "recent threads" result is.
