Assigning any importance to whether or not someone uses their "real name" on a free message board is incredibly naive. I could have put "Kevin Van Dam" if I wanted. Or "John Smith". How would you, or the admins, know any different? There are valid reasons someone might not want to give their name. I believe I have one.

I agree 100% with this board's policy, however, that seems to say that if you flame somebody's business or someone directly, your identity should be verified. No one should be allowed to anonymously flame somebody's character or business.

I don't agree with taking down posts that hold a non-inflammatory point of view the board owners disagree with, as appears to have happened here. Then again, as someone else said, it's their board. I don't have to agree with how they run it.

But maybe there's more to the story than I know.

fishgurl, it is pretty easy and real quick if you use an electric fillet knife. I filleted 45 shellcracker that my two sons and I caught last summer in about 30 minutes with the oldest trimming and the youngest washing and bagging.
