anonymity

Kevin - Feb 3, 2009 Great Post. I am still in two minds. Defining anonymous is the problem, I know you and the others - it’s not about that really, it’s those people that simply spread hate and use names that are never seen again. Maybe we should all have Open ID anon identities too! Of course, if you’re being harrased that’s something different, at least by requiring an e-mail address you reduce the chances, and if you use disqus you can probably block them more easily.

I love anonymous commenting because it’s from the heart that people speak rather than from their pedestal. By this I meran that when you make an anonymous comment you don’t need to know anything. You can say what you feel and you’re genuine. Of course that feeling might last ten seconds and you regret it.The point is that you can speak as part of the uninformed mass, you can afford to be wrong and your sentiments reality the feelings of the crowd.
