Hmmm... I don't know, man. I can see your point here, but does it
have to be ego exclusively? No, the further I think about it, the less I agree with you. Wouldn't you agree there is a real benefit for us, as users, to know that the person we address is involved with product X? Don't you appreciate some of those interactions?
I'm not saying Sean Punch HAS to be Sean Punch. But I sure appreciate when I know it's Sean Punch, and I can share thoughts on GURPS.
Plus, I think ego is involved in most internet interactions at some level or another. Not necessarily in a nasty way or anything. That's just how we are. I don't think you or I are any different.
Would you be so kind as to link me that thread about Dancey being crazy, please? Or if you remember the title or something? Thanks
