You could put the province and even the small city I live in Canada and it still wouldn't identify me. That's only because I was careful of the info I have posted and I really don't have that much to loose if someone where to find out who I was.

I could post some of my past history here without giving any location and people would know immediately who I was. But if the previous posters had been under the assumption that someday their location might become known they probably would have posted differently.

Without contributing members, there is no forum.

Why not show respect to the members here, and make this a democratic decision? Have a month long poll here, with a clear question, and respect the result?

Playing god, the grand poohbah imperial president, or GB type won't cut it.

Simon, you have already made up your mind about all of this? The vast majority who have responded here are against the flags.

I think you are possibly counting the same vocal people over and over again.

So what was the point of all this discussion. It seemed that there was a forgone conclusion. No one was going to change your view.

The point was to see what people thought and whether there were any factors that I had overlooked. The argument 'against' seems to rely on people already revealing who they are to the point that the country being the revealing factor is a big claim to make and I think a false one.

Also, no one has addressed the issue that there are other easier and more direct ways of finding someone's much more precise location and possibly their identity. It would seem to weaken someone's claim of how important it is if they dismiss and ignore other more real threats.

Wait, no true Englishman would use an incorrect Union Jack flag - gab the imposter! LOL

Ah, deckchairs and a pebble beach - it's just missing sideways rain and inverted umbrellas for the English seaside experience to be complete. What could be more enjoyable than a walk along Blackpool prom? (no, please don't list them all - there isn't space).

yah.. loaded language.. I love loaded language, it makes the argument so much better.

Simon started this topic to get input on the flag-feature. Now we are giving him our input and as best as i can tell the majority of posters on here support the idea that there should be an option to hide ones true flag -- exactly what the "small" group of so-called "intransigent" posters have argued all along. Do you feel this is somehow bad?

There may be many posts against but I am not sure that makes a majority of posters. I think that the word intransigence covers it. The same argument is made over and over, wash, rinse, repeat. In the absence of a GB, someone has to make a decision. The use of many words, the repeat of the same basic argument doesn't make it any stronger. Who would you suggest makes the decision bohm?
