The Change, a Recap

04/07/2011 4:45 PM

There's been a lot of talk about the quality of the posts improving since the "change"

I think it is a matter perception

there may be slightly less guest noise, slightly less...

Guest noise? There hasn't been any.

I don't quite understand why someone would PA. If you fear the group will think less of you for making a comment, then don't say it! If you feel a snarky comment is what you should offer, then say it and own it! We are supposed to be adults, not sniveling children hiding behind mama's skirts.

I have discussed this with one member already, and I have gotten a pretty good answer about why he posts AP. The answer was complete and reasoned. This member has, as most of us do, an inimitable writing style and I know who he is.

Can someone else offer up some reasoning? I am truly curious. If a few members know who you are anyway, why the veil? Oh, and please don't PA your answer!

Members post as Anonymous Poster for many reasons.

My favorite is to play devils advocate

No changed my mind, my favorite reason to post AP is to piss the egotistical loudmouths off

Numbering APs so they can be recognised is a big help, IMHO.

No perception, there is alot less of crude negativity.

because the ones that critize with a id is more manageable with a healthier one on one........or sometimes ten on one.
