I'm not sure how much clearer I can make this, so bear with me.

If you've never posted with your username here, i.e. you're not a named FS user who comments here un-anon, that can go un-anon in the first place, then the question isn't directed at you.

Does that make sense? If nobody has here heard of you because every comment you have left here is anon, you have no identity here besides "anon." If there is a perception that "rich people are bad" here, so there's no stigma or consequence at all attached to you doing this, since you have no identity here besides "anon." So your willingness to reeal yourself as... someone we've still never heard of who is rich, isn't very significant.

Well, you've certainly made it abundantly clear that you're a snotty, condescending little toerag.

Well that was out of nowhere. I wasn't trying to be, but okay. Sorry if I came off that way.

I was working under the impression that people were misunderstanding my question, and attempted to make it as clear as possible so that people wouldn't keep doing it. I'm baffled, honestly, at all the anon responses to a question that explicitly asked for un-anon responses, so I'm a little confused as well.

nayrt - The problem is that you've asked a question on a public message board, not waited very long before coming to the conclusion that fits your preconceived notion ("admit to being rich", emphasis mine) and then tried to police and shoo away the few people who were kind enough to respond because they're not doing it in a manner that suits you.

I believe you when you say you don't intend to come off as snotty and condescending, but it only seems to "come from nowhere" because you don't quite understand that trying to control how and what people respond and assuming they're doing it wrong because they can't understand your question is never going to be anything but. Saying "but the question wasn't intended for you" sounds even worse, quite frankly, because again: public question on a public forum. You're not a moderator, so attempting modding rubs people the wrong way.

It wasn't their responses that made the answers non-relevant, it was the fact that they were anon and unknown, because the whole question was about de-anoning and being recognized. That's why "admit," like to a secret, because you're de-anoning and there was probably a reason you hadn't done it before.

You saying I'm trying to control the answers because I'm clarifying the original question though, is a whole other insinuation that's coming out of left field for me. I'm not trying to control how they answer, I'm trying to make them understand the question I'm asking, which was somewhat unclear, clearly, as some people completely misunderstood what I was asking. I should have phrased it better and emphasized what the un-anon part meant so that it would specify relevance.

I appreciate what you were trying to do.

But folks want to do something else, which, while I can understand your frustration, doesn't change the fact your being a cock about it.
