Anonymous Cowards Explained!
"Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask and he will tell you the truth." - Oscar Wilde

Now, why is that? Simple. We all have a lot of differing views, beliefs, paradigms, and standards... but when we say something in a persona that someone can link directly to ourselves, then that defines us as such in their eyes. If, in the future, we say something that is seemingly conflicting or contradictory to the casual observer, we are called out on it and falsely ridiculed for it.

And if we were to do nothing but speak our true minds and hearts as ourselves, with no mask covering our identity, then we would be ridiculed and shunned all the more.

But the moment we become just another face in the crowd, another voice in the choir...the moment we become a faceless speaker, unattached to a persona that people can point at...that is the moment when we are free to say whatever our hearts and minds yearn to say.

And that is the power of the Anonymous Coward. We can say what those who choose to let themselves be defined dare not.

So, for the truth in our hearts,
For the opinions we secretly hold,
For all the things that would otherwise go unsaid....

AC's, we ride! explosionsealexplosion

Re: Anonymous Cowards Explained!
Yes, I agree 'tis good to have thou mask.

However, I personally find the words "Anonymous Coward" quite offensive. Call me insecure if you like, but I find it offensive because I truly respect myself and I do not like or appreciate being associated with negative connotations by people (OR WEBSITES).

What do you guys think ?

I welcome your suggestions for an alternative name for "anonymous" postings, a name that empowers, not one that suggests "doormats".

P.S. By the way, in my very first post I thought that I was replying to a blogger who called himself "Anonymous Coward" until I posted my reply and I noticed my post was also listed under that name "Anonymous Coward".

Someone proposed "Anonymous Power". I like "Hidden Power" (maybe with a reference number to differentiate bloggers .

What's a name that you like for "anonymous posters" ?
Please offer your suggestion/s.

A few years back you posted a report of bigfoots being studied in the Livermore Labs. Can you tell me more? How did you get this information?
