The Internet generally doesn't allow much obscurity if you use your name; I just heard from someone I hadn't corresponded with in 10 or 15 years due to GreenBaggins mentioning my work with The Confessional Presbyterian over on his blog. I think for the most part and as a general rule membership should be transparent here on PB, but I can see there may be a need for some occasional alias status. However, we need the reminder that this is an open forum for the most part and heavily Googled, usually with PB getting prominent listing on hits. We had two situations within a day that have brought this to the surface; just everyone be prudent. On the open forums, consider that the world is indeed watching.

The Regulative Principle: Samuel Miller gives a succinct statement of this principle when he writes that since the Scriptures are the “only infallible rule of faith and practice, no rite or ceremony ought to have a place in the public worship of God, which is not warranted in Scripture, either by direct precept or example, or by good and sufficient inference.”
