I don't think I would like it as a permanent thing unless it was limited to a specific subforum, but I would love to see a week of everyone being anonymous and then go back and see who was who. I think it would really be an eye opening experience for all of us to see how much that username really affects how we treat people on this forum.
Yeah, I'd love to give it a go...either your way or as a subforum. I gotta be blunt here... although we may aspire to read/treat every post objectively it just doesn't happen in practice... usernames and the emotional baggage that comes with them, good or bad, can't fail to have an influence (imo).
Tbh I don't aspire to treat every post objectively. I do try to treat people fairly though.
