I stand by my original post, this thread is absolutely pointless. Its impossible to police any kind of signature requirements, and due to my job, it would mean that I'd have to stop posting on oOple. I cannot have my real name associated with forums.
No, I'm not a spy.
Forums are designed to have a level of anonymity, they are supposed to allow the dissemination/discussion of ideas, and to a certain extent, arguments and disagreements. The whole point is that the anonymity allows people to discuss things in a blame free, fault free environment, and its the job of the moderators to moderate that which exceeds the boundaries of the designated "fight lines"
Why in the name of all Zeus's big fat hairy arsehole would I want to put my real name on one? You might get my first name, but surname? Not a bloody chance.
If you dont like what someone has posted, tell them so, if you disagree, tell them, 1 race or 1 million races, doesnt matter, you can still be wrong. Oh and the point about Craggy's knowledge being worth more than mine? No it isnt, I'm from the correct side of the Pennines... :P But, as is usual, I digress...
