I think the point was more that it was odd not to be asked directly.
If someone posted "Can someone tell me why GAbbix does such and such?"
When I'm right there to be asked, it would make me feel like a non-person, or I would suspect that they knew I would not really want to answer, and so would find out from someone else.
I think the fact that 5 said rip x_x and not the entire name made it quite clear that she wasn't comfortable being open about it yet.
That's a big difference from saying her posting name, and it was within the body of ONE post on admin.It may not seem to be a big leap to the current posters who know her, but to subsequent posters, or future archives searchers it certainly is, and 5
has mentioned that as a concern several times.Is it really worth it to have 5 made more uncomfortable, whether or not you can understand the reason, just to have your words preserved as you wrote them?
Let's be realistic, it's one post on a Web Board
it's not an article for the New York times.
