And it is cowardly.

And Brisk, I didn't have you specifically in mind when I posted this, I had everyone who does it in mind.

Maybe you should put "Earth" in yours then. :D
Considering the extent of some of the country bashing here on GFY, sometimes I think it's a good thing the people involved don't put their nationality in their profile, the discussion would likely descend into even more useless mud slinging than it already does.

Also, perhaps not revealing your location isn't always cowardess, but maybe it's like a Sun Tzu 'Art of War' kinda thing, a strategic move that allows someone to attack their enemy while not revealing their own position? If the British SAS or American Delta Force don't reveal their position before attacking, does this make them cowards?

Whatever the reason, I think there should be less nationality bashing on GFY and more ideology bashing.
