First of all, I don't see why anyone cares that people are making up anonymous screen names. Many of the people on GC have more than one screen name already, but nobody has said anything about it before.
Second of all, I want to comment on what ariesrising said here (not trying to single out ariesrising, just using her quote to make my point). Everyone in this thread agrees that people need to not hide behind a new screen name, nobody is going to base their opinion of a GLO off one person's comments, etc. But why, then, do we blast the PNMs who come on here and say the stuff they say? We tell them they need to be more discreet and/or more anonymous. Perhaps these new anonymous posters have a reason to feel they could be singled out a bit more than other members of their GLO on here, such as being national officers, or running for a chapter office, or whatever. Or perhaps they feel they've become too "un-anonymous" and want to start fresh. I don't know.
I just think that there's a bit of a double-standard on GC and everybody needs to just chill.
