I'm merely suggesting here that we need to take ownership of our ideas and opinions. <br /><br />This was my biggest pet peeve(if you can call it that way) ever since I started interacting in online communities. I really do like to know that someone is open-minded enough to allow replies to their opinions. <br /><br />It's an easy way to filter them from the people that you shouldn't bother to reply to. <br /><br />But in the end, regardless if anonymous or not, there are still idiots around that only spout bullshit from their virtual mouth. <br /><br />PS: I do remember reading your article a while ago, but it was just about when I deleted my old blog, so it didn't mean that much to me then. But reading it now, I do see a similitude between "Eternal September" for Usenet and the rise of RDS for the "online Romania". So we pretty much have to deal with it however we can: swearing back at them, like zoso, banning their IPs, shaming them (pretty hard to accomplish though), etc. ratonboxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13320367837242155518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23113967.post-53822155007918092622012-11-19T15:24:52.593+02:002012-11-19T15:24:52.593+02:00I subscribe to your opinion, although I wouldn'...I subscribe to your opinion, although I wouldn't necessarily take it to the extreme. However, I do agree that using your real name (or at least pointing to it) is the first step to taking responsibility for your actions. <br /><br />Although I've actually had to publicly suffer because of this, I still support it.<br /><br />An older article of mine, on this topic (this piece is also a bit extreme, since I was fairly angry at that point): http://www.krossfire.ro/nu-suntem-politicieni/krossfirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02968319644395095979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23113967.post-273550657301924512012-07-16T13:27:53.641+03:002012-07-16T13:27:53.641+03:00But you see, thats exactly the problem.

It always has been and it always will. <br /><br />Anonymity for the sake of just not knowing who it is that you're speaking with serves no greater purpose, but anonymity is probably the greatest tool for maintaining liberty, in a sense.<br /><br />Look at Wikileaks, look at all these bullshit bills that they're trying to pass, to suppress your anonymity, to make it as hard as possible for someone to protect themselves from whatever harm may come upon them if they reveal something that hurts the current establishment.<br /><br />They always vilified the anonymity movement, making them look like they have something bad to hide. But thats not the issue. It doesnt matter what you have to hide. The great majority should not have to be affected due to the fear of secrets being kept by the minority. If I like to look at gay porn, I should be able to look at gay fucking porn without the fear that somehow I'm monitored and that it will get out and suffer the consequences. And all that wrapped in the excuse that somehow, its all in my best interest. <br /><br />A greater plastic example can be made by extrapolating anonymity from the online medium to day to day activities. What would be like if everyone's homes would be riddled with video cameras, all state centralized, all in the name of transparency. And not accepting to be videotaped automatically branding you as suspicious. "If we see what everyone is doing, all the time, there's no way Ahbul can make that bomb in the basement". <br /><br />Its a dangerous path. A dystopian path.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23113967.post-1101123828484535312012-07-16T02:33:00.078+03:002012-07-16T02:33:00.078+03:00Are, destul de multe legaturi cu maturitatea unei ...Are, destul de multe legaturi cu maturitatea unei persoane. O persoana matura n-ar trebui sa aiba moduri de exprimare diferite atunci cand un articol, comentariu, etc, este anonim. Dar daca compari comentariile de la acelasi tip de articol de pe site-urile a 2 ziare oarecare, dintre care unul are OpenID, si altul are Comments with Facebook o sa vezi o mica/mare diferenta intre registrul de vorbire pe cele 2 site-uri. <br />Si din partea mea, chiar nu m-ar deranja ca tot ce fac sa fie public. Dar asta doar intr-o utopie sociala si politica, unde nu sunt folosite informatiile astea intr-un mod malitios impotriva ta. <br /><br />PS: o mica rugaminte, cand comentezi de acum incolo, as vrea daca se poate sa scrii in engleza, pentru ca peste jumate dintre vizitatori nu sunt romani.ratonboxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13320367837242155518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23113967.post-79208391791350516512012-07-16T02:23:02.099+03:002012-07-16T02:23:02.099+03:00Anonimitatea pe internet nu are nimic de-a face cu...Anonimitatea pe internet nu are nimic de-a face cu nivelul de maturitate al unui anume individ. <br /><br />E o judecata cel mult de suprafata cam tot ce ai scris mai sus. Si cred ca cel mai simplu mod de a argumenta asta e a te ruga sa-ti imaginezi o lume fara anonimitate. O lume in care tot ce faci e public.
