I don't jump up for Ed, but more to something Dr Drew stated about being willing to post under your own name.

While my email has always been available and is my actual name, when I joined I picked a username I used on more than one site. It made me wish I had used my name as while I may be wrong time to time, I am willing to stand by my words and if shown wrong admit it and move on.

I have foolishly tried to convince some to act with better manners and should have known it was a waste of words as they are to dug into their views. I wish them well and leave it at that.

When all is done I love doubleguns and enjoy reading and occasionally posting about what I believe I know.

I have little doubt I could enjoy a drink with even the most cantankerous on this board, if we only stuck to double-guns

PS I have learned to enjoy the blocking function, though I was hesitant to use it thinking it poor manners. I have discovered passing by about six posters has been more pleasant than otherwise, but I confess curiosity oftengets me to click and look at the subject and words as on this thread.

Ed, could I just add that we Brits are a very very small number here, also because of the small size of the UK to actually post your real name could in fact turn out to be a security nightmare.
Just an example my sir name is not all that common and on the board I have said I live in Cheshire here in the UK, now with my name and County using a computer you can come up with my house address and location in about five seconds!
Though if I am PM�d or e-mailed by another member I use my real name, so under the above circumstances I would like to continue to use my alias.

damascus, sounds reasonable to me, so long as anonymous members here do not abuse the privilege of anonmity here...which is sadly, much to prevalent a practice...here.

Similarly to Old Colonel I started posting here with the same user name I had used on other boards because some folks knew me by that and would recognize me. I too use my real name in PM's etc.

On the Parker Collectors forum you may pick your user name but your real name is displayed in your profile. My real name is easy enough to find if anyone cares.

Just as people are OK to block out part of serial numbers on photos of guns posted on the internet the use of screen names in not a problem to me. It is your actions not your name which counts. I try to not make it too easy for anti gun or worse would be thieves to locate me and target me for action.

Ed, you ostensibly post your full name here, but are also one of the most egregious abusers of this forum. How do you explain that? What do you call posting all of your anti-gun crap on a shotgun forum besides trolling? How about the threats in PM's that have gotten you banned for all too short time periods?

So tell us... just how many times have you been banned from this forum now? How about other forums too? I wish AmarilloMike would bring back his "Pledge Drive to Permanently Ban Ed Good" that ran in the old Misfires forum. My $100.00 is still on the table.

Some folk may use an AKA so not to use the forum as an advertisement for their goods or services . Some may want to make comments that do not coincide with those of people we work with .
I use the same name on several forums and am quite willing to communicate privately will most people using my own name .

sadly, here, anonymity breeds abuse here...as illustrated by the notorious 3f keet/bill...

Giving a troll his due, ed has developed a highly effective repetoire of posts that have the same effect as someone dragging their fingernails across a chalkboard. The intent of both practitioners is the same, of course,

After a while you begin to know what to expect from various posters and the tenor of their posts - who is here to help, who is here to argue or antagonize, who is here to make inane statements, etc. So you are free to choose to read or not read any post, or to ignore the posters you've found to be worth ignoring. It took me a while to learn this, but the board is much more enjoyable and less stressful now that I finally have.
