I was just reading Niki Hope's blog where the comments turned from the posted topic to the issue of anonymity. One commentator astutely pointed out that a pseudonym allows for protected participation in public dialogue. As long as the issues are the focus and the language is reasonable, I concur. Controversial or strongly held views might otherwise never reach public domain forums, especially in NW where there really is only 3 degrees of separation between much of the citizenry.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542704828226166700.post-75313407876550774042008-12-31T19:10:00.000-08:002008-12-31T19:10:00.000-08:00I like using a nom de plume as it allows me to eng...I like using a nom de plume as it allows me to engage in discussions in a more involved manner than I would probably feel free if using my real name.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542704828226166700.post-12389794368388079722008-12-31T13:22:00.000-08:002008-12-31T13:22:00.000-08:00I like the nickname idea (I use a few different ni...I like the nickname idea (I use a few different nicknames, based on my real name, on different forums/blogs) but I don't know if anyone really 'knows' anyone online. I find what you know of someone online is limited at best and more often it's what they want you to know of their 'e-self'. Just my 2cents.<BR/><BR/>Anony-ross :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542704828226166700.post-19475731816233110632008-12-22T19:05:00.000-08:002008-12-22T19:05:00.000-08:00On our blog (theleftcoast.ca) we had it set so tha...On our blog (theleftcoast.ca) we had it set so that people had to login and create a user name before commenting...and nobody bothered. So we decided to open it up so if people want to they can leave anonymous comments. We do get more comments this way which we like; we like to encourage conversations. Good luck to you with this website. Good stuff so far. <BR/>theleftcoast.caAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
