I think Rick's original intent with the anonymity rule was to make FFL a place to have open discussions without fear. And, there are people here who do post completely anonymously, in the spirit of that intent. I respect that. But, taking on an anonymous identity in order to troll is bullshit, especially when the person can't even be bothered to keep the anonymous identity anonymous. As I've demonstrated in the past, I do enforce the anonymity rule for people who use it legitimately. I've also been openly critical of people claiming anonymity and appealing for the rule to be enforced when they're really not actually anonymous. I've been consistent in that stance, and I'm not going to change it.
