the ethics of posting under an assumed identity

[gregbickal]

Mr height, If you think one of your user is me feel free to ban them

Your board is the only one that doesn't allow me on as myself

joe b.: I am under the belief that you are a regular poster/lurker on koi boards who has chosen to use a different moniker on this board to raise controversial issues likely to lead to argument denigrating the "order of things" in the koi hobby. If I have made an incorrect assumption, I apologize for the implications of my goading question. You did apparently understand that it was directed at you.

I have actually enjoyed the resulting threads; and I am pleased with the polite demeanor of the posts that have followed. Those reading can learn and draw their own conclusions regarding the ethical issues you have raised. You have performed a useful service ... whoever your real identity may be. I'm looking forward to your next subject, even if still leery that there will be some bait that causes a loss of decorum.

If you really feel a need to know who folks are here just pm them and ask. Not really sure it is a big public policy issue. Online forums rarely have an audience where everyone readily hands out all of their personal info, in fact most law enforcement agencies would warn you sharply not to do that. Not so sure why it is such an issue with Joe Bauer, newt kind of already fessed up to being him. Unless joe says it aint so, I will just go with that.

i have posted on KV using this moniker and no other
i have posted on KP using this moniker and no other
i have posted on this forum using this moniker and no other

i have not intentionally stirred up any crap here. the owner of KP has come over here and called me by a number of different names which i have never posted under. i do have lots of questions about koi, but for some reason they cause controversy. it looks to me like members of KP are coming over here and stirring up trouble and then saying it is my fault.

please, list the things i have done wrong on this board so i will know and not repeat them.

i am going into lurk mode for awhile so this board can go back to normal.
