Ray, what do you think of the early versions of (I believe) the D&C wherein code-names were used for key players, such as "Gazelam" for Joseph Smith, etc.?

Shades, you are missing the point. So is Liz. I have nothing against people who use pseudonyms! What I am pointing out is that people who use pseudonyms to constantly, deliberately and maliciously attack the character of other people, as in "Scratch's" case, and "Rollo's" is what I find despicable. It is the hiding behind the pseudonym to attack and malign. What are they afraid of? Retribution for those attacks? How cowardly is this?

Why is it that you seem to think the world functions around your definition of what constitutes courage? Here you say that Scratch and Rollo attack the character of others (presumably DCP). So long as DCP has the opportunity to respond, and he does and he has, what possible business is it of yours?

I dunno. Why did you resign from Kevin's board in protest against the slander of DCP? Isn't that why you left Kevin's board? So I am led to believe. Or was that just an excuse? Maybe, Jersey Girl, you had a momentary gust of fairness slipping in, but you've said nothing about the slander of DCP here.

How many vegemite cocktails have you had tonight?

No, that's not why I exited Kevin's board. Why would you think that? Why should I say anything about the slander of DCP here on this board? Because you think it's important? Honey, I'm sharing space here with some folks who think the churches I've attended are an abomination. If I can live with that, then DCP, who has the capability of responding on this board, can live with disparaging remarks made about him here...or respond to them.

On Shades previous board, I confirmed Daniel's identity when others called it into question. I protested a certain image of him that was posted here. Other than that, I'm really not involved in thinking much about him at all.

I don't see anyone coming out of the woodwork to defend me on these boards, do you? I don't expect it and you shouldn't either. The moment that I throw myself out there or choose to take a stand on something, I automatically subject myself to whatever is thrown back to me. If I couldn't defend myself, I wouldn't even post on these boards. In the grand scheme of things, I don't think Daniel is any more or less important than I am.

Well, crock,

It's a pretty safe bet you're not going to reply to my question so I'll just continue on without you. What about those defending the church? Should they demonstrate the courage of their convictions by posting with their real name?

Why should I give you my full name on this board? So you can google me up and post information about me? (It's been done, by the way) or so you can knock on my front door and disturb my relative peace?

There are TBM's and non-LDS on this board, on ZLMB and MAD who know my full name and have my contact information. Some of them have met me face to face and not one of them has ever asked me to post any of that publicly on a board. If it's alright with them, I don't see why I should entertain your notions of disclosing information publicly on a message board.

This from the poster who regularly changes his screen name.

Give me a break, okay?

I answered your question; the use of one's name is a natural brake on the unreasonable. One's reputation is at stake. That is why your name should be known. No more and no less.

And, yes, those who defend the church should show the courage of their convictions and use their real name.

I may regularly change my screen name but I also couple it with a disclosure of my real name.

And, no, I won't give you a break. Posting as you do shows evil cowardice and hypocrisy. The Lord condemns hypocrisy in the New Testament more than any other sin. Why shouldn't I point that out with each post?

I would never use my real name on the internet. In the years I have participated on internet boards, there have always been one or two characters who, frankly, seem unbalanced and potentially dangerous, or, at the very least, capable of engaging in stalking.

I can only hope if you have children who participate on the internet, you exercise a modicum of common sense and urge them NOT to use their real names.

[_Runtu]

When I posted on a.r.m., I used my real name, and when I posted on FAIR, I used my first name and explicitly linked my nick to my name over on a.r.m. I never had any problems until I learned that a certain prolific poster on FAIR was circulating emails saying that I was mentally ill, a stalker, or perhaps a sexual predator, and therefore the recipients of said emails should contact my bishop, my wife, and my children. I could not care less if they call the bishop, who is well aware of my beliefs and probably isn't going to worry about a "less-active" high priest. However, when they start talking about finding my wife and children and saying who knows what, that's when I get worried.

Since that time I've been a lot more reserved with my name, though I would imagine that almost everyone on this board knows my name. If that's cowardly, that's fine with me. Just seems like common sense.

What do you mean posting "as you do"? Can you find any mean spirited posts of mine directed at the LDS Church on this board? If so, I'd like to see them.
