Anonymous commenters refuse to out themselves. Duh.

Maybe because it's an old topic around here, but this seemed a little naive and outdated to me:

Oh, I don't know. I actually was a bit surprised by that, because I figure at least some people simply don't want to be identified by something as random as a message board listing but wouldn't mind for a story. Guess I was wrong.

 

If enough people agree with you, I will remove the 'duh.' Might be a little rude.

I did find it interesting that the one guy finally out himself after 16,000 posts, because he decided he wanted credit for his opinions. I truly get that, believe me.

But the overall tone of the story seemed to be 'Anonymity gives people the freedom to say what they want to say.' Ya think?

 

Registration required. That is a pretty sweet picture with the article, though.
