I am a little baffled about your reaction to my reply, and I hope you will reconsider. Maybe you were just having a bad day and I caught the fallout. You publicly asked a question about the forum, and I answered publicly. My answer was in no way intended to be heavy, and 'the bleeding obvious' was intended as friendly sarcasm.

But your point about anonymity is serious, and I am surprised and shocked that you, of all people, would question the need for anonymity after what you've been through. I am sorry about those attacks by premies, and you have my sympathy, but surely you are not suggesting that everyone who runs ex-premie internet sites should do so under their real names and lay themselves open to similar attacks? So what is the problem you have with the moderators being anonymous?
