See this as advise or maybe just a rant, but all you people that haven't even bothered to fill out your profile and post stupid @#$%^ questions in the community forum really piss me off.
I know I may never meet the majority of the people who post on this site, but I can at least gleen a little bit of information about them off of their profile.
To those of you who don't do that, stop wasting my time with your weak attempts at taking part in conversation.

You have" filled" your profile, but you remain anonymous. You mighth want to change either the title of the thread or the content of your post, so that your thoughts are in adequation with your writings.

Thomasribiere, lets not get into semantics.
What was implied - and most likely understood by all who have read my rant - was that a username with no profile is the internet equivalent of anonymous; an anonymous posting in the community forum is bullshit. IMO

It's the internet. It's a god-given right to lie and be a general bastard behind our veil of anonymity. Get over it.

So I don't disagree totally, though a few people might have some good reasons to remain anonymous.

or....put random shit..lol... :) really a profile makes no diff unless you plan on dating them or stalking them. I could lie and say I am Paris Hilton and none of you would be the wiser ... really... well okay maybe I would have to sound a little more retarded, or at least drool all over my keyboard for you to believe that!!! ((I Know it's not my thread, it's just my opinion)) but until the time comes that I am planning on meeting a poster in person, i wouldn't pay attention to their profile anyways... come on... tell the truth... how many of you lied on it anyways.. .ahhahahahaha alright... i am off, i just happened to be awake and the thread caught my eye.
Guess I will go fill my boredom by filling out my profile....

I believe that the OP is referring to forum posts where a person with a blank profile posts something like: "I cant do a forum search tell me wear i can go to colluge to climb." or "Where should I go on my road trip?" In order to provide a helpful response it is nice for use to know what type of climbing the OP likes to do, where they live, what level they climb, or if they an attractive young female that we would like to spent hours belaying on long stemming corners.

That has to be the funniest response yet! I laughed for ten minutes............there may be some truth to that......bottom line is we make our own choices and just because someone doesnt get the details they want doesnt make someone not worthy.....unless u just cant handle criticism or the answer u get........deal or dont post.......

there are anonymous posters (here, there, everywhere) so you can post your disgust and we can read it
and when you read this, the intersuck has come full circle

If your being conversational, informative, and opinionated, I don't see how the details of your identity matters. If you're being beligerant, making threats, being crude, trash typing behind the veil of anonymity, or claiming a high degree of expertise and accomplishment, than I think it matters who you are.

Network World published a blog titled
"Can outing an anonymous blogger be justified?"
http://www.networkworld.com/community/?q=node/12330
It's pretty long.
Wikipedia has an article about the Internet forum "troll"
http://www.networkworld.com/community/?q=node/12330
But the OP is about regular posts by regular folks, who neglect to fill out their profile.
It's a legitimate beef. These faceless posters p..s me off, too.
Just like graffiti: some of that stuff is pretty neat, but I don't know where they came from, so the message is half lost.

There's nothing wrong with posting anonymously--it's just not possible to take anyone seriously who does.
