who are you?

I've probably raised this before, but one thing that I find disconcerting on this forum is how many folk choose anonymity to the point that you don't know a first name, if they are male or female or even what part of the world the live in. Many times these anonymous ones like to post great swathes of teaching or bring strong rebukes.

Ok, we are posting on a public forum, so i understand that we don't want to give personal contact details, but surely a first name and a city is not going to compromise your privicy! After all, if you think you have a right to be received, surely we all have a right to know who we are engaging with to some degree.

It strikes me that this is all part of walking in the light. If we want hide our identity completely then there is something missing. There are a lot here who are very open with who they are and you will know their full names, their blogs and maybe met them at conferences. This is true of the moderators.


So come on and put some basic info in your profile, so we can at least know to some extent who we are talking to.

Brother, we agree and that is a good observation. Though in some cases saints want to keep a low trace of their name on the internet but for many we need to realize we are talking with actual brothers and sisters in the Lord who are real people and can be greatly hurt by our uncharitable comments at times. May we speak all things to the true Unity of God's people in Jesus Christ and encourage each other on the narrow way to life.

I do agree with this!

Actually, I have had some wonderful conversations with some who have contacted me through the email I have in my profile. I am a man of God, not afraid of an occasional Nigerian Prince who wants to give me a hundred million dollars, and a few whackos from other places.

I only live one life, no secret identities in unrelated venues. When I am wrong or insensitive I want to know about it. I am a combat veteran, been shot at before, not afraid of being called out right here.
