Anonymity Sucks

March 22, 2007      Admin

Yes, anonymity sucks.

Whether in the context of …

  • Posting a “Big Sister” Hillary video.
  • Writing an blog “evaluating” charities.
  • Making a “Comment” on someone's website or blog.
  • Sneaking a contribution to a political candidate.
  • Faking “grassroots support” for a legislative goal.
  • Hiding behind an e-mail nom de plume.

Anonymity used to attack or manipulate springs from cowardice and/or malice.

It is the antithesis of integrity.

It is the enemy of authentic discourse.

Whatever merit the message might hold.
