Anonymity has nothing to do with it. There are plenty of people who
post on
this and other forums with "screen names" and "aliases" who are not
criticized for being doing so nor accused of "hiding their identity" as Mr.
Schmid suggest.
Sure there are. But not one of those personally attack others. There is
a big difference between asking for help using an anonymous nick versus
launching a personal attack on someone who is not anonymous. Your
behavior is equivalent to shooting or stabbing someone from behind,
which are both despicable in the eyes of most societies worldwide.

And my posting "anonymously" doesn't invalidate my opinion which I have the
right to express in a public forum. When posting on a public forum such as
this, we all run the risk of others expressing their opinions about our
behavior, including yours of mine, just as I expressed my opinion of yours,
but somehow only mine is deemed inappropriate. Interesting double standard.
The people replying here volunteer several hours a day by helping other
people and have also earned the respect of all the others replying. You
on the other hand are just a cowardly troll in the eyes of the community
replying here. So, what did you expect?
You need to earn respect first before you can dash out critic in cases
where you weren't even the one who received the, in your eyes, offensive
reply.
