@kevin-eleven saidI offered you sound advice which turned out to be a help, and you behave like a brat.
Interesting that @divegeester has decided to play the disruptor role this time around.
I fully expected that he would be one of the most competitive contestants.
@divegeester saidIf you can even manage to write more than a line or two, your story will be presented with @divegeester as the author.

Have you really ever worked in the business world or even held down a job?
@kevin-eleven saidYou want the authors to send their stories through email anonymously?
No pen-names allowed. If you can even manage to write more than a line or two, your story will be presented with @divegeester as the author.

@divegeester saidLooking forward to your 20-word epic about some punk flashing his tendrils of spittle dripping from his little punk fangs.
You’re welcome, glad to have been of help.

@kevin-eleven saidI told you there was a limit and that I didn’t know what it was. The outcome is that you have avoided a problem later.

I can’t help you with your personal issues.

@yo-its-me saidWell, what I meant was that if someone is a trouble-maker like @divegeester, then don't submit stories under some other fake RHP username.
You want the authors to send their stories through email anonymously?
But it's a fair point you raise, and I think that in December of 2022 most interested parties might find a way to set up an anonymous side email account on Hotmail or GMX or wherever.
HOWEVER, I think I will just post stories without bylines (author's names), as I think @Ponderable might have done in the past -- to avoid interpersonal bias in voting in case someone especially execrable happens to submit some entries.

So, really just posting as a disruptor.
😉
@divegeester saidRevealing one's email address to posters like Ponderable, Kewpie, or moonbus would seem ok to me, but I wouldn't want to reveal it to the likes of Executioner Brand, Kevin Eleven or Romans1009/PB1022.
I can’t imagine anyone revealing a working email address to you.
