I AM irritated, and it's <I>your</I> fault. Commenters labelling themselves 'anonymous' <B><I>bugs the crap out of me</B></I>; I would disable the facility to do so, if I could.<BR/><BR/><I>Now, there are three people who have quite commonly commented on here as 'anonymous' - and they are all very dear lady friends of mine, and I try to be as tolerant of their foible in this regard as I can be. But <I>please</I> - it's not that goddamned difficult to give yourself a distinctive tag.<BR/><BR/>You don't have to sacrifice your anonymity, you don't have to use your real name, you don't even have to use a nickname that would identify yourself <I>to me alone</I> (although if you're one of my friends, I can't see why you wouldn't!); but it is useful - <I>essential</I> to have some label by which we can differentiate your comments from other people's.<BR/><BR/>Also, of course, there is the problem that if you are going to make needling remarks or jokes about me, they appear far more hostile</I> coming from an 'anonymous' source; a certain intimacy is necessary for you to take the piss out of someone without causing offence, and you lose that intimacy if don't identify yourself <I>in any way at all</I>. In fact, as you may have experienced on another post, you appear to be just a random stranger having a go, and will risk attracting counter-invective from my other blog-buddies...... and possibly even from me.<BR/><BR/>So, <I>PLEASE, pretty-please-with-fucking-sugar-on-top</I>, all you 'anonymouses' out there, <I><B>give yourself a 'name' when you comment on here</I></B>.Frooghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06738623732860210935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33211251.post-83913625956273562722008-02-15T02:05:00.000+00:002008-02-15T02:05:00.000+00:00So, I have a schizophrenic anonymous troll now, do...So, I have a schizophrenic anonymous troll now, do I?<BR/><BR/>Why don't you just sign your f***ing name and make life a whole lot simpler for all of us?Frooghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06738623732860210935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33211251.post-21081100190327603612008-02-15T00:00:00.000+00:002008-02-15T00:00:00.000+00:00Just to confuse the issue, there are now 2 differe...Just to confuse the issue, there are now 2 different 'anonymouses' commenting within this comment form... even I was confused for a split second cos I couldn't remember writing the comment above (the 1.30pm one)... then I realised that the reason why I couldn't remember writing it cos I hadn't written it!<BR/><BR/>Old age doesn't come alone... you'll understand that Froog, won't you?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33211251.post-66229362704024510572008-02-14T13:30:00.000+00:002008-02-14T13:30:00.000+00:00Now how can you say that this blog isn't a success...Now how can you say that this blog isn't a success when you have your very own troll? <BR/><BR/>My favourite bit in Diva was the peeling onions with a snorkel scene.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33211251.post-19184055676777286772008-02-14T08:58:00.000+00:002008-02-14T08:58:00.000+00:00I was quoting the Pinon character.
