Quitefine could also be Steve too.



Only if you decide to suspend credulousness. Quitefine engages in
debates with manners, and does not try to win them by pure weight of
pejoratives and name calling. That easily distinguishes him(her?) from
Steve. If Quitefine is the space-shuttle of civility, then Steve is a
paper airplane.


I was talking about header info, and definitely not posting styles. I
doubt that Steve's innate posting style would adapt to Quitefine's.
Certainly he wouldn't have any fun with it, since his style is more the
head-on, call ya out sort of thing.

I don't condone everything that Steve posts, but I respect him
nonetheless. And after his description of himself being the guy
"whacking at the Pinata,"

Remember that there are equal and opposite antagonists for him, which is
to say that I don't see him treating any of us in the same manner as he
does them. He doesn't even treat you as he does them. But I suspect that
if you started calling him "gunnery nurse, Nursie, or any of the other
dumb names he's called by some, he would reply in kind.

And I suspect that his lack of condemnation of Quitefine or Blackguard
is that they are not doing what a lot of anonymii do, which is to post
libelous and extremely insulting material.

There is a difference between civil anonymity and non-civil anonymity.
To not get that is to not get it.
