Communication...IP talk

I could not imagined what I have seen the past few days. My experience with the word IP address on any post has been nothing more than havoc, chaos, and conflict. Worst yet, HisHughness got inflicted so bad that he is still recovering from IP pnuemonia...lol

The most recent dicussion is regarding the poster (ItsMe/Michelle/ItsMe123); I felt it was an inocent mistake where she had repeatly acknowledged that it was her unintentional wrongfullness. Rather being appreciated for a thoughtful contribution, her integrity was questioned and admonished. PLEASE, I'm using this only as an example not a continuation of the thread.

Communication discussed here has relatively been on grammars, spellings, and punctuations; none or less on keywords, contexts, and clues of what a poster wanted to get accross. Letdown and mistreat is the last thing anyone wants, therefore, I think the friendliest atmosphere we can get out of this forum is to focus on what one has to offer/post to begin with. Vice versa, an input has multiple channel of output; those channel can be disrupted by other force which in turn could create mis-interpretation. Clarification deems neccessary so the topic does not get side-tracked.

We know IP can be static/dynamic. Screen name can be different from login to non-login users and so on. Why is it so disturbing and alarming? My definition of IP discussion:
-Incompetence Poster...Another stupid question, so????
-Irresponsible Poster...Read the post/topic
-Inconsistence Poster...Pick one, for crying out loud
-Imposterous Poster...Get outa here
-Inconspicuous Poster...Identityphobia
-Indecent Poster...Goto www.encore.com

Get WELL soon HisHughness!
