Outsider77: Chill out.  I use my real name and, over the past 45 years, have received some amazingly nasty anonymous letters. I read them, get a few giggles and file them under "constructive criticism."  I really like the old cliche' "if they can't take a joke, @#$# 'um".  I also like Popeye's "I yam what I yam."  
The " Some of us prefer to focus on ideas rather than personality." comment is just a tad patronizing.  I think most of us enjoy focusing on ideas and exchanging viewpoints and opinions..it's great fun.  "Focusing on personalities"? Not hardly.....the longterm use of a non de plume establishes a "personality" on this site just as much as using a name.....and, frankly, often helps to put a comment "in context."...nothing wrong with that...... I say "if you aren't willing to "claim it" (by using your name), then perhaps you shouldn't say it."  and, while it would be undignified to say it, I feel  ....."if they don't like what they hear, #$@%$ 'um."  regards to you, sir
