Which is why you act like most of us. Civilized. We don't just go around calling people names for no reason. I sometimes react to extreme redneck rudeness, but I never call people names out of the blue. Anyone wants to follow my posts and they will see that the first stone is not thrown by me. To call someone a coward just because they don't want to have TMO and ex-TMO people coming over or calling me, as there are only a very few who I consider my friends from that era, is uncivilized. And this REALLY IS the reason I use off-world-beings. I thought about using my real name a few times, but the thing that stopped me is the idea that a bunch of people will get in touch. Much as I like them, I need space from them (except the one or two TM'rs I am good friends with anyway). That really is the reason and being called a coward for it is like a slap in the face...no more of a punch in the gut. So screw it. If thats what people think because of off-world-beings then I'm going back to my own planet.
