In reply to: Pam 's message, "Using different names" on 16:36:34 01/05/12 Thu

I had a feeling a message of this nature was on its way.

Who are these folk who are complaining? Can they not speak for themselves?

The different names that I use are actually an intrinsic element of the posts that I make. My IP address has never changed and is very distinctive, so everyone knows from whom my posts come.

If you check back over some of the messages; you'll find that my use of different titles (for most of them can not be classed as names), has drawn some favourable remarks from posters who are both mature and have a sense of fun.

I can remember when I pointed out to Linda, in a blunt kind of fashion, that her collages might be the better for being coralled together, we managed after a bit of discussion to work things out amongst ourselves.

In the past the mods here have run with the 'work things out' attitude, and have from time to time, after criticism has been levelled at them, concluded that they were not prepared to censor posts. Their abiding advice being along the lines of, "If you are not comfortable with message content, you don't have to read or become involved with it etc."

I really don't see what the problem is. (Well I do, but the problem don't bother me that much that I can be arsed to talk about it.) This board has a small core of folk and in my opinion they seem to know how to self manage in a reasonable manner.
