	"Nothing says "coward" like posting as an Anonymous Poster, eh?" The excellent question was recently posed by Roger Pink ^{_{<authorship attribution,}_{© CR4,2011}}^_] It's probably time we had a thread on quantifying that very facet. How about we assign a '% coward' to 1. Anonymous Posting (AP) 2. Anonymous GA/OT Canceling (AGAC) 3. other 'coward' uses worthy of including/ranking This will provide readers, who may find it difficult to know the 'severity' of "coward", from time to time, a straight forward numerical basis of comparison - free of those confusing 'mitigating circumstances' and 'logical reasons'. This would obviously also be helpful to new users who are already jumping on the 'coward bandwagon'; some with as little as 4 posts. Perhaps the 'ultimate of comparison' could be Talking Behind My Back (TBMB) as I note, of late, at least 3 guru level members have rated this 'ultimate cowardice'.

	Congratulations AP1 - on the ultimate torpedo job, copyright theft and plagiarism demonstration. No one will ever be able to resort to those little uproars ever again (if Admin lets this stand) HEHEHeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, I love it! _{Complete chaos, fabulous precedent for CR4 - I hope you don't get punished} __________________ There is no sin except stupidity.

	I'll take a crack at it AP=5% GA/OT voting = 70% [it's all anonymous] TBMB= -33.3333% [a negative # since most of us aren't in middle school] Complaining about valid observations other members make about whatever lame proclamations you just made = 99.99999999999999999999999999999999999999% Threatening legal action against fictitious user persona's = ∞

	Surely the value associated with GA/OT must be low, since it is by design anonymous? Conversely, the kudos rating of owning up to GA/OT cancelling is high... __________________ Chaos always wins because it's better organised.
