Re: Because we don't want to offend anyone       12/23/05 02:24 PM Edit Reply Quote jen1013 Reged: 05/06/05 Posts: 1322 Loc: the wabe The stalker thing is a kind of extreme example. I think we are all pretty level-headed here and aren't going to be blowing up at others. I know exactly what Sand was referring to in her initial statement, and though I'd wanted to respond to it, I didn't because by the time I got back to the boards the subject was kind of being squashed. And I'm not going to say anything about that specific example, but I do totally agree with Sand that this kind of multiple handle thing bothers me. On the other hand -- I generally try to avoid posting personal stuff that relates to other people in my life. My family and husband know about these boards and I would never want to post anything that would hurt them. So, if I was absolutely desperate for advice but it involved revealing more private information than I was comfortable sharing, I could totally see creating another handle and posting under that. Especially if the situation was one where I was afraid that everyone would hate me afterwards. Like if I was posting on advice for how much rat poison do you really think it would take to kill someone. And I wouldn't want to reveal that I was someone who posted, because then everyone would try to guess who it really was, and maybe someone would be right. And then what would be the point of my anonymity? So, in cases like that, I would have to be on the side of the anonymous user. However, if you're just talking on the diet board, or discussing stuff that's a wee bit controversial, I do agree that you should be using your own user account, or at least explaining why you aren't posting under your own. That does make me uncomfortable. And once people do figure out who you really are (and they probably will, if you post enough for them to learn your linguistic patterns), they're probably going to think way less of you than if you had just said what you really wanted in the first place. -------------------- jen "It's one of the most serious things that can possibly happen to one in a battle -- to get one's head cut off." -- LC Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
