I am not saying that all AKAs should be banned. That would be wrong. I admit that there are times when anonymity is required. However, on this and other sites, AKA is primarily used to slander others. If anyone posts "facts" to the MB, then they should be ready to back those facts up. If they post thier opinion, then all the better! But, they should at least own up to their opinion.

If everyone uses AKAs, then how can anyone get a feel for the true pulse of the people of Frisco. A name(s) attached to an opinion gives it strength. Plus, I don't have to wonder if a bunch of messages are being sent by one or two zealots using different AKAs. Trying to make themselves look like they have supporters. When in reality they are just a couple of busy bodies.

Opinion stated.
