So, would you write that if you had to sign your real name?

Yeah, right!

I probably wouldn't flirt as much if I used my real name.

I am going to start asking for names and asking the questions:
1) would you sign your real name to that tripe you just wrote?
and
2) Would you say that to my face if you and I were standing in a bar room?

Why on earth would you bother being such a long term, persistent, prat, a drongo, <look it up> even if you did/do go to Harvard Medical School? But I doubt that's his/her real name.
(Points for consistency??)

drongo 86 up, 35 down

Australian slang: A "no-hoper" or fool. Derives from a racehorse of that name in the 1920's that never one a race out of 37 starts.

Recruits to the RAAF in WWII earned the nickname "drongos".

(Nothing to do with the class of bird -- drongo)

Anyway, let's talk. I want to start calling people out. If they can't reveal who the hell they are, then why in hell should we spend any of our waking hours considering what they have to say. I am going to start asking for names and asking the questions:
1) would you sign your real name to that tripe you just wrote?

2) Would you say that to my face if you and I were standing in a bar room?

I will NOT give out my real last name on the Internet. It's a very rare last name.

No I wouldn't. And the reason has nothing to do with the quality of my writing (or the lack thereof). I often write here while procrastinating from real work. Suppose, for example, that I did post under my real name, and that I worked for an employer who wanted an excuse to get rid of people. All that HR would have to do search for my real name, find my A2K account, program a web spider to crawl my posts, and extract incriminating statements. Even just the time stamps would be toxic, because they would reveal when I surfed the web from work. (Which I often did --- A2K has always been my favorite procrastination from productive work.)

And that's just one reason I value the privacy of posting here anonymously. There are several others.

Well, I've never used the internet for private purposes when I was employed. ...

Probably. I have problems with self-censorship.
