Brent,
I will just say that i am in your corner on this one. Albeit i am hesitant to jump to the automatic conclusion that the perpetrators are current assembly members, I believe you are absolutely correct in your judgements. The individuals who choose to ruin all possibility of their inquiries being seriously considered by lacing them with insults and putting them forth in a manner which responsibility can not be attributed, are sad creatures. This is not the place for such meanderings.
Brent, getting flames due to any decision you make comes with the territory of being an admin - you can not please everybody. Your job is to run this board, culture a living web community, and to keep the peace. If by removing anon posts, your job is accomplished, stand by your decision. I know of a better solution than this (PM me if you are interested), but I respect your authority as owner of this site, and chime in with my fellow poster "if you dont like it, leave". So people, stop giving Brent a hard rap for doing his job.
Now, as for GB. I am the admin there, and can speak for it. Unlike this board (as far as i can tell) GB exists for a sole purpose - the encouragement of Teenagers thru testimonies of their peers. If something posted does not fit this, I have no problem deleting the post. Mind you, this forum is quite a bit different than what we have there, but the same idea that the admin holds all the cards still stands. You should be thankful that he is expending his time and energy into this consideration instead of complaining. If you do have a concern, address Brent in a PM and i am sure he will take it under consideration.
I also agree that those people who post harse comments while not ID'ing themselves are pathetic. If you have something to hide, you have greater concerns in your life than to be messing with people on a random net forum. Go to
www.slashdot.com forums and try that there - if you think that people are nasty here with the flames, you have seen nothing.
Also, this forum was wide open and free until Thursday, when some Assembly folk ruined it for everyone else. I have been getting heat for being too open and not censoring things for months, and now some idiots (that's you silly) want to accuse me of not having "internet common sense!"
If you go over to the "voice," or to Genuinebeliever.com's BB, you have to register and use your real name. furthermore, they deleted posts that didn't look "good example enough," and yet you are calling me names?
If you aren't brave enough to use your real name, you should be ashamed of yourself. If you have to hide the fact that you are on this BB, then you are in bondage.
Really it is quite pathetic.
