Anyone else out there get tired of the "hit and run" anonymous artists out there? You know the one's I'm talking about. The one's that attack you when they have no answers and call you a non-Christian since they have no other words to share. All the while doing it anonymously. I for one get tired of some of these anonymous "hit and run" posters. Oh well...just thought I would come onto the "registered members" board and let off some steam where the "hit and run" artists cannot come  Hope everyone else is having a great day! I actually have been having a good day JohnH |

Interesting that maybe not could post without being registered. I could not. I did try and it said you must be registered. I love PC glitches!
Have a great day all.

I assume you think it is perfectly legitimate for some to attack others because they do not know the answer, or if they truthfully gave an answer, it would reveal that they do not believe that the Word of God is inspired? JohnH Also: it is rather amazing that some unregistered "guests" can post here! ADMINISTRATOR: perhaps you should check into this? |

John
on this topic I agree with you. (in fact not only this topic.:-)
If anonymous posting were banned (compulsory registration) though, I think the discussion would dry up.
Anonymous hit 'n run is not confined to any side of the debate, (exes and 2x2's) though.
It does reveal a lot about the poster, when they do it, but some are just stirring or baiting for the fun of it, rather than actually believing what they post.

I agree about not requiring registration. There are many "unregistered" posters that have contributed greatly to the board and it would be a shame to require them to register simply because of a few people. Once in awhile even Nate has made very sincere and responsible posts albeit of late he seems to be upset at many things and as a result, stimulating much arguing. Unfortunately, my being sick with pnuemonia and an ear infection last week exposed the "less desirable" side of me and I fell into the "bait". But thanks be to our God who covers our sin and makes us white as snow! |

Hi, I just saw this thread. I just posted something similiar on the other board, under Drive by Posters. Yes, it certainly wastes the band wideth, these non-conversations. And I have decided, I will consciously NOT reply to these kind of posts.

I am not a "drive-by artist", but I am having trouble following the themes of these boards. I believe I am (respectfully) what keeps being refered to as an "ex" but am not bitter. This is all interesting to me and I will happily read through all the threads for awhile, but am open for discussion. BTW I am a paramedic and the only "2x2" I have EVER heard of is a 2"x2" gauze pad, what is a 2x2 in this context???

To avoid hit and run just impose a policy asking everybody to use his/her real name and give a visible e-mail address.
This will also reduce the traffic on the site also ...

It would be far easier to see a sudden burst of maturity amongst the hit&run artists who would then change their ways. Maybe they just don't want to grow up, who knows...

Why doesn't the board software publish the IP address of the poster? That would help identify posters who flame under multiple names.

If I knew your address then I could attack your computer. And there are ways around having your IP shown such as proxy servers and such. |

Do you really think you could attack my computer? If I knew your IP from the postings, I could drop your packets like hot potatos. If you used a different IP address, I could still log your packets and drop anything that looked like a hostile connection. The wonders of iptables. As for those intelligent enough to use a proxy, do you really think people would bother setting up a botnet to bomb TMB with flamebait material? Someone with that capability would probably be intelligent enough not to bother. Those who would want to post, probably wouldn't have the capability to set up a new proxy for each flamebait post. |

I think that the point of posting annonymously is being missed. I have been on the Boards and the 2X2 List for many years, and I do not, nor ever have I posted annonymously. HOWEVER I was out long before I ever knew of such methods of communication even being available. Now it is a fact that many have been excommunicated for QUESTIONING. Many have been told to stay OFF the INTERNET. Many are full of FEAR, and MANY are dealing with guilt that they even ARE on the Internet.
It is also a FACT that if the Hiararchy KNEW who was posting, those people would be in trouble. This is all entwined into the very fabric of RELIGIONS.
I beleive that these people should HAVE A VOICE. Again those of us that believe in God's Grace for US, should consider being more patient, thoughful, and tolerant of others. Love Marge Reynolds My Email address is reyn11@telus.net. Post me anytime.

me and my big mouth here i go again but somehow i find healing in being able to post.
i have not professed in this faith for over 40 years. I had my reasonings and carried them for all these years.
i profess and havea faith that works for me. i am happy to be getting older and loosing bitterness over my past actiions and past things done to me in the name of truth.
i have no bitter feelings and hope those who read these posts find peace in their hearts and learn to respect any who have a workable faith for their walk with God. May God give you peace.,
i have nothing to hide- warren in yakima washington

As per the original topic: I see nothing wrong with posting as a guest unless it's used to attack someone personally, poke fun at his/her beliefs..whatever. Then I just think it's really cowardly. If I have something to say to someone, I will definitely say it, but in the nicest way I know how. That doesn't mean you won't know exactly what I mean but I will try my best *not* to be rude about it. It's ridiculous to hide behind "guess" because you can't be big enough to post what you REALLY think under your real registerd name. (It's more than obvious that not ALL, but some "guests" have a registered name, you know??) Again, I don't mean guests in general at ALL...just the ones that use it as a smokescreen. M. |

TO StochasticReader
in Your post I quote " To avoid hit and run just impose a policy asking everybody to use his/her real name and give a visible e-mail address.
This will also reduce the traffic on the site also .
While this is a good idea, I feel that my circumstance is a good example of why that doesn't totally work.
I am on the fence between leaving and staying and don't want anything to come back to haunt me either way, if you know what I mean. There are WAY TOO MANY gossips and folks that live to destroy another on the inside as well as those on the outside.
One thing that I have been willing to do is to reveal my identity to those that PM me and I get a little trust going there. I ask them to keep it to themselves as I also keep confident those things shared in confidentiality.
I feel that once we are exposed, we can become a target. I have had really good and really bad experiences and share both on here. I feel people have a right to know both. I don't just share bad experiences because they happened, but how they happened and how that should have been avoided and there are instances where those type things are still going on because no one had the guts to stand up and say it.
I realize that there are humans among the F & W and they will have human faults, but there comes a point when some one is doing wrong and repeating the same dirty deeds over and over and the F & W in some cases are lied to about what really took place because the incidents are not taken care of like the bible says to do it and the accusers are not required to face the accused, but are hidden and covered up instead. That will always be wrong, but God will take care of it in the end.
I feel like I am always honest in my statements, and I will respond as long as it is not just for the sake of argument, then I will not argue. As I have put in several posts, I was taught......WHEN YOU ARE ARGUING WITH A FOOL, THEY ARE DOING THE SAME THING.
I do believe that if a person is going to use the hit and run tactics then they should be made to identify themselves, but if they have no integrity in the first place will they use a real identity?
I hope that my reasons make sense and answer this from one POV!!
Peace to all
