Pretty easy to slander me behind your anonymity. Isn't it?

It is not slander if it's true, Bob!

It would be quite easy for me and any number of other critics to use our real names and tout our credentials, but I, for one, prefer that the discussion not deteriorate into non-stop ad hominem attack, which is de rigueur amonst Mopologists. This brings me back to my original point. DCP posts under his real name because:
1) It provides him with instant credibility among TBMs
2) He likes the admiration and adoration he gets from TBMs
3) He can use it to launch convenient straw man/ ad hom. attacks on anonymous critics
4) It provides him with a sense of power.
Or, maybe, he is an honorable person who does not hide behind anonymous names to criticize the views of others.
Too bad that he himself has "hidden behind anonymous names to criticize." Don't you remember Fritz? Or "Freethinker"? Or "Monitor"? Or his various aliases on RfM?
