Why the change James?
Thereās been discussion of this in the past and Iāve always tended to the view that the obligation to speak āas yourselfā was one of the things that made SurviveFrance more courteous than other internet forums.
There have been issues for a valued member, Geof, this seems the best way forward IMO 
Love the username! Identifying you but also notā¦
Whatās happened Andrew?
(Iāve been away with the family for nearly 3 weeks and not had much chance to look in here.)
As a very recent subscriber I found it most refreshing and welcoming to see real names being used, as Geof points out it was a little something that elevated this forum above the rest.
Not to worry, Iām happy to be known by my user name which is probably more apt 
Just PMing you Geof
some troll read ptf stuff and contacted his employer. ptf gone
Been on SFN over 10 years, never even looked at another one so canāt comment on them but have read plenty of other peopleās comments

ThƩ ethos and dynamic should rest inchangƩs, there are enough of us here to ensure that
Angela told me what happened. There are some nasty people about.
Problem is that although there are far more good people, the nasty have far more weapons - precisely because the good refuse to say or do harmful or hurtful things.
I shall continue to be on my best behaviour.
Whereās the fun in that?
I was banned from Twitter for wrong thunk years ago and never bothered with Facebook. I use one other forum and am mostly well behaved there for the same reason as here: itās far too useful a resource to be an utter yob on and get banned.
Interesting that you see good behaviour as a response to possible sanction Guy, rather than desirable in itself!
What did you say (in broad terms, obviously) to get banned from Twitter?
For reasons of inciting violence perhapsā¦
I believe the final (3rd) ban related to my mentioning that a certain British businessman known for record stores, airlines, trains and now amateur space flight was a regular at Jeffery Epsteinās island.
āShort ginger nonceā might well have breached the T&Cs.
You were lucky that you only received a ban rather than a lawsuit. 
Associated opinion:
Itās only the last part that is open for discussion.
Not really, unless you truly believe in guilt by association.
