Because they choose not to! Does it really matter? I mean what do you want to do, find out who made the comment, pick them out and point at them at home games? We may as well let people choose to do what they want as long as their contributions are relevant
: Stephen, if they really believe they are making
: a valid point why can't they back it up with
: their name rather than maintain anonymity to
: 'enjoy the fact that no-one knows who they
: are' ??
: Lost me there...

: Just because people do not often post on this
: forum does not mean they are not always here
: to keep up to date with the messageboard. I
: am an example of this. Whether it be general
: laziness or just not having that much to say
: I choose not to post on here the majority of
: the time.
: Reading everyones points of view on this
: debate it is clear to see there are two sides
: to this and every story.
: Siding with the likes of Foster and Mixture
: no one likes to see stupid anonymous comments
: such as the recently debated ones. They are
: pointless comments that just cause
: unneccessary aggravation for genuine City
: supporters who post regularly. There is
: almost a slow burning fuse in situations like
: this and I can understand why Gary has come
: to stop posting. I enjoy reading posts made
: on this board and long may it continue.
: However, I agree with Derek Smith to a
: certain extent that Gary and Peter have been
: a bit childish about the whole thing. It is
: clear Gary enjoys posting on the board from
: the sheer quantity of messages he posts so
: pulling out altogether seems a bit over the
: top. At the end of the day if these posters
: are anonymous (just referring to posters of
: childish messages) then does anyone value
: their opinion anyway! I for one don't!
: Therefore I don't see the need to pull out.
: These postings do not mean that a person's
: right to anonymity should be taken away. Not
: everyone wants to give their e-mail address
: when making a posting, they may actually
: enjoy the fact that no one knows who they are
: and may go on to make a valid point they
: really believe in. Just because a person has
: given their identity doesn't mean they will
: always make points everyone wants to hear. If
: I had a pound for everytime I thought Peter
: Foster was an idiot for what he says on this
: messageboard I would be a millionaire but he
: is giving his opinion, what he believes in so
: that is fair enough. I am not being
: anonymous, but I should be allowed to sit
: here and say I disagree with what is said.
: Should anonymous posters not be allowed to
: say this just because they don't want to give
: their identity? I don't think they should as
: long as they are making a valid point, in the
: right context, for what they believe in then
: their right to anonymity should be allowed
: and not decided by certain administrators to
: the site. That's the beauty of the internet!
: We all appreciate there are rules in most
: situations in life but this debate about the
: messageboard is taking it all a bit too far!
: I look forward to reading posts from every
: willing participant in the future!
