I Value Anonymity. Why Demand Otherwise?

Besides, there are others here with multiple screen names. And even if I was the only one, I would only divulge another screen name. That's it. You still wouldn't know who I am. I have provided a clue in my signature line-- an excerpt from a post from last week. I haven't said or done anything to warrant the demand to reveal and I DEFINITELY have done nothing to apologize for. This is a precedent that would not be easy to enforce across the board. Please reconsider your demands-- in the name of fairness.

What is your former screen name? That’s a good starting point.

You do realize Admin was who requested a answer do you not? No one is going to answer a riddle to find out who you are, although I've stated over and over what I believe. I think you have many altar ego's but which one is really you is the question. I wonder how many Facebook's you have, and how many aliases are on your credit report?

Golden State . . . you live in California?
Love here, live afar . . . you don't love the person you live with?

I used to go by my actual name on this forum. However, years ago I had my Jeep keyed, and I was harassed by a few brothers in the church parking lot for questioning the Bush Administration's policies (I voted for President G.W. Bush against Al Gore). On the second go around, I was critical of Bush. It caused problems. So, I started using the handle "Aquila".

To request that someone disclose who they are is a form of threat. Because it can be an issue of personal safety. It can also put a chill on the freedom with which we share our views and opinions. Since some opinions aren't popular, it can even affect a career or ministry.

As a forum community, I'd recommend resisting all efforts to violate anonymity with extreme prejudice.

Thamk you.
Even revealing former screen names can be tricky once people decipher certain information connected to the former screen name.
