Reposted to avoid that controversial distraction. As advised by one OP, "Don't give him any more publicity."

Alias is a hot-button topic which often distracts people from the main discussion in a thread. I hope this thread will draw out all anger and disdain once and for all, so we can avoid unnecessary distractions in future threads. First of all, TER has listed rational, objective & neutral guidelines on 9 reasons. The only difference between an alias and handle is the list of review history. Presumably the critics need to see the guy’s or gal's review resume. There have been a few who have won people’s respect without any display of resume. CaptainRenault is our most famous one, followed by GhostWriteroftheDamned. There are many others with humorous names like, Shillbill, AndAnotherThing, Super_Awsome_Alias_x100, holytoledo, HelpaGurOut, MnJB, afteryoujoe, luvdesertlife, YachtMaster, etc. etc.  

I notice that some guys always have fun in personal mud slinging. I once got good advice to just ignore those guys' posts, for peace to all. I thought we're in this hobby for fun!
I also learned from others on fun aliases. So after this post, I'll change to Kitty something.

who cares?

You ran this post yesterday and you got lots of participation from veteran members, and then you disrespected them all by taking the thread down, which meant they wasted their time, or more correctly, YOU wasted their time.  Now you are expecting to get participants again?  I think you have made yourself persona non grata and doubt you are going to get anything but crickets on this and future posts under your alias.

look people use alias purely to hide their real handle right.  so that by itself is shady from the start. you can come with all the excuses but its still hiding your real handle.  

i persoanlly dont care if someone uses an alias or real handle but when they post something claiming some knowledge or throwing insults then i give them as much worth as me plucking my itchy butt hair...ie...not worth a stinking much

Re-posted to answer more feedbacks...

On Lopaw’s obvious question, my simple answer is that my alias is always my screen name; thus I never need to stop and ask, should I use alias for this post or that. My reason is that display of the review history list adds or subtracts nothing. People’s words should stand on their own merit. Do people ever click on others’ review lists to decide if they make sense or not?  
On Bodhisattva’s comment, “Seriously...Who cares”, right on. But there are some still quite upset about aliases.  
On that self-appointed judge & juror, normally I ignore him, but this time I need to point out some silly fallacies. He made a big deal about wasting people’s time by re-posting this OP. I suppose he thought people would need to re-write. (hahaha). If people want to re-post their responses, just go to their posts history, copy/paste. It takes about 30 secs. OK, I plead guilty to wasting each person 30 sec or so. I accept the judge’s banishment to persona non grata. (hooray) Look at last week’s Friday shill. After a number of iterative re-posting, it finally got rid of all the irrelevant distractions and went back to its main theme. On a previous reference to a long-gone controversial guy, I mainly wanted to make the point that he did not display a single review and still earned the trust of many. I used “phenomenon”, a neutral word that conveyed neither praise nor damn. BPS understood my sarcasm, but apparently his honor the judge did not understand, thus went on to silly ramblings.  
OK, so much for that judge. From hereon, I won’t even dignify his OPs with any click.  Btw, he used the invective “moronic”. I suggest he should look at the mirror, take a deep breath, and repeat the American truism, “It takes one to know one.”
On Dance’s question about respect, I said it loud & clear, this thread is meant to draw out all anger & disdain once and for all, so as to avoid future distractions. Unlike that judge who craves lime light, I’m perfectly OK to be ignored

for you to ask everyone to cut and paste their prior posts in their exact order after you took them all down.  You don't know a thing about respect, and that is why you continue to pimp your alias as something noble when you are just a common coward.  Nobody is buying it, so you are talking to yourself.   Get a clue.
