No more anonymous

This is something I've considered off and on for the last month, more so since the anonynmous attacks flaring up recently. From now on, everyone who wants to comment needs at least a blogger screenname. They are not hard to get and in the comment section, it is easy to sign up for one in a blogger account (Free).

You're missing the point, Mr. Twain.

Bravo, Dan.

It was not Maria Stuart's decision. I changed it before I read her editorial.

I was leaning that way since the attack on Jay Drick's family.

I've met the enemy and he is us.

OK Kevin, Oh I mean MarkT. You see it's not important that you comment by your baptized name (although I do). What I think is important is that a personality develops with your postings that other bloggers get to recognize when you consistently use a particular name.

Im not really sure why that seems to matter, but I think it does.

Otherwise it's like responding to grafitti. What's the point?

Take you, I mean Kevin for example. We really got to know him. I think it benefits him that he presented his true developing character to the other bloggers. If he is proud of his character, and I think he is, doesn't that make sense?

BTW Dan was considering barring anons for some time now. He mentioned it to me months ago at an event.
