Tony

First of all let me clarify- I`m not having a go at you personally. As I said in my original post to you, it`s not just you that has not backed up their viewpoint. It`s just that you happened to have posted on this thread at that time so I addressed you.
I mean no offence either.

As I said, you do not 'need' to back up your viewpoint to me at all. But it would help in trying to gain an understanding of why you hold the opinion you do. Otherwise, what`s the point of engaging in a discussion?

I like your chess metaphor- but if one person refused to move at all the game would not get very far, don`t you think.

I do not wish to be tarred with the same brush as any problematic posters that may happen to be anonymous. I am an individual and I speak for myself and no-one else. When I read a person`s post I read it with respect to that person being an individual and do not lump them together with someone else with similar views.

I believe you have your equation muddled on this subject. Blending the issue of problematic posters and the one of the principle of anonymous posters does not solve anything. There are many good posters on here who are anonymous. Do you agree? If so, you should be able to see that you have done the maths wrong.

I like the spotlight idea, though- I'll have to get one and shine it at the computer when I read your posts! LOL
Ve do have vays of making you talk ;)

I did not call you a bully but I do believe that telling someone that you are right just because you say so is a bullying tactic, whoever uses it.

How far would you be willing to help Brian if he decided to do this? Would you take on ALL the work he has said would have to be done?

Cheers

Ps.. actually, I scoop my mustard :)
