I agree, John. My first thought when reading this post is free speech, which goes far beyond simply the freedom to speak but how you choose to do it. Great post, Rachel.

It comes down to the level of comfort one has, which typically increases the more anonymous they can be. Does it also allow for the vile and rude comments you mentioned? Absolutely. But I don’t think requiring real names would cut down that much. The beauty of America is we have the right. The right to free speech, as well as the right to be complete morons — which happens more frequently than the it should. Eliminating the ability to converse anonymously takes away at what’s built our country to be as great (or as bad, in some cases) as it is. But that is what makes it unique.

I’d like to see everyone use their names w/o fear of retribution by their employer. Speaking your mind in the case of gawker is a great example and i think one of the best examples. Going to news websites on the other hand is entirely different, it does nothing to promote the common good.

Disagreement is healthy when respectful. In the last the Presidential election PBS ran a bunch of old Dick Cavett shows demonstrating this ideal. Dick would ask questions and let the interviewee answer them in full, without cutting them off. I know this isn’t edgy enough for most people to stay tuned but hearing another opinion broadens mine.

Writing something hateful or harmful rarely does, it serves to polarize me even more. I agree with Jeff, we always see these protestors with masks on. The only thing we learn is how much they hate glass windows and cops. I never get to hear their actual argument.

Anonymizing ourselves defeats healthy discussion, and in my mind is akin to throwing more fuel on a fire. Disagree it’s cool

Great post Rachel -

I do believe there’s value to be had in anonymous comments – as you note, some topics you just don’t want your name associated with for professional reasons but still want to get your 2 cents in there. Of course, every idiot seems to think their opinion is worthwhile and sufficiently special to merit the anonymous treatment, when in fact their opinions are about as plain vanilla as half of the other readers’.

Now pseudononymous on the other hand….
