Good idea, as I had no clue what a Southern Dwarf might be, but recall the names of my honoured sponsors.

Aw noes... I have a problem. I had vowed to raze your first born city to the ground when I decided that I held different opinions to yourself on the forum... as soon as I found out who you were in game. But now... I discover you are a fellow Orc! I could never clash spears with a fellow Orc.

Since I forgot to stay on topic, some times it is best not to link your in game name to your forum name. Yet, on a game like this, there is really no down side. The wost you can do is make a few friends and get a few people against you. If you are here to get someone mad enough to attack you through the game, then you shouldn't be posting it in the first place.

Ah where would the World be without Trolls. I have notice
throughout this thread that most responses reinforce one of two positions. 1
not linking your account to your comments can generate Troll fodder. 2 a fear
of reprisal for comments made in the forums is a valid reason to disassociate in
game names from forum names.
I would like to address the fear of reprisal. I do not believe
fear of in game reprisals for out of game (or even Global Chat) actions is a warranted
concern for 2 reasons. First if unsubstantiated attacks were made against
players the in game the community has already shown that is quick and fierce to
quell such behavior. Secondly if larger players were really abusing their
power/positions I believe the community as a whole would be powerful enough to
stop them for the previously mention reason. Perhaps this last belief shows my naivety
but I honestly believe it. It is for this reason that I ignored the fear of
reprisal in my previous post.
I would like to add that one should consider the
implications of fearing comments being associated with the speaker. I must
wonder if the comment isn’t valid enough for the speaker to allow it to be
associated with themselves should anyone else be concerned about it.? Perhaps it
is for this reason that the right to face ones accuser is in the US constitution.
It is to this point I believe Honoredmule’s comments allude.
Lastly I would like to request players refrain
from H? bashing in this thread. There are already 2 threads dedicated to the
recent events regarding this issue… please leave these sentiments there.
