Love me
Hate me
I am anonymity
Your blog is mine
You’ll be just fine
So lay back and unwind
Wanna know
What makes me flow?
My own private overthrow
Envy
Jealousy
Running on empty
Goodbye civility
Hello graffiti
A revolution made so cheaply
Don’t fight
A parasite
In awe of what I write
Invisibility
Never catch me
I am anonymity

Anything worth saying is worth saying with your name attached. We don’t allow anonymous blog postings. I wish more blogs would prohibit anonymous blog postings.

I don’t think anonymity is the problem. There are a lot of things I’d like to say, but they reflect on my company. People won’t say “he’s a jerk.” They’ll say “the guy from company X is a jerk.”
The real problems are civility and stupidity. People need to realize that just because there is a computer between them and the other people in the dialog, they can still hurt feelings, be overly mean, or fail when they’re trying to be edgy.
Stupidity is the bigger problem. I’ve seen plenty of people attach their names to comments not worth reading.
As for the idea that “if you won’t put your name to it, it’s not worth reading,” that’s simply wrong. The Federalist Papers, of course, were written anonymously. Sometimes debates are enhanced if people can put out their ideas without being afraid of the ad hominem attacks that invariably come from the uncivil and the stupid.
