Adam I couldn't agree more. Once upon a time you had to put your name behind your words.
I've stepped on my dick more than once on this list, saying things that were hurtful and mean, and made my amends of them (no I am NOT sorry about the Issac bullshit, he brought it on himself). In person and on list. Hell most of you know I've struggled with alcohol issues over the years, and it caused me trouble in person in the community and in my career. I work on problems of my own making, but when I stand up and say this is what I believe, this is why, I do so with the vast majority of people knowing who I am. Now obviously with the military and my reenlistment this means that I have to occasionally censor myself, but tough shit, I have to do it in person as well. I hate people that have alternate online persona's and are totally different in person. I'm a loud, boisterous, perverted, quick to anger guy. Here, at a conference, in the office or in the field. I try to be honest about my strengths and my weaknesses. We need more men like you Adam, and thats no BS.
