Unfortunatly, I don't know that the others are showing their true face. I'd
rather not give a name, than give a false one. Unfortunatly, others are
sure to not feel the same.

But what of anonyous people with good and reasoned points? Again, you use
emotive comments instead of addressing the point. People can read my
points, and refute, disagree or just ignore. I don't see how having a name
attached to the point makes it any more or less valid.
In short, I don't care if it is Britney or Anna K personally inviting me to
see their latest nude pictures on the net, or if it is someone named
"NudeCelebs". This is SPAM regardless of the name of the sender.
Likewise, someone pointing out potential flaws with a proposed ranking
system, has points that are valid or invalid, regardless of a name being
attached to the email.
Having your name on the email, didn't keep you from comparing me to "a chimp
throwing dung", calling my ideas "childish rubbish", or comparing me to a
hooded protester throwing smelly stuff at people trying to deal with
difficult issues. Having a name attached to the email didn't stop ME Games
from comments "WOW! Finally a positive comment." Going for 9 months without
giving a real name, didn't cause me to treat others with the disrespect I've
been shown.
Charging people the same for less service was a BAD move. Adding a ranking
system that will encourage people to play lots of game, instead of a few
games well, is also a BAD idea. Having, or not having, my name attached to
the message does not change the content or corectness of the message.
Yours turely,
