Thu, 08 Apr 2010 15:21:05 +0000 http://www.gerritsenbeach.net/?p=4059#comment-27776 Given the environment which some individuals have created by making threats I can well see why there are so many that have decided that anonymous comments are safer. But they have the need to express themselves. Since apparently the use of threats can't silence anons it becomes your responsibility to silence these people by taking their protection away. But that's not going to stop the light from shining on their misdeeds. Eventually they will be held totally to account for their actions anyway. My advice to them is to straighten up and fly right.

I post as "Bob" (but you probably know that isn't even close to my real name). It's just an easy way for me to find my posts and any responses versus reading the 100s from "Anonymous". @GerritsenBeach.net, Yeah Dan – I can get an email address from yahoo or gmail or whoever that says my name is Michael Jackson or Farrah Fawcett or Barack Obama.

That's why people keep up rumors and gossip - because no one addresses it. @blueMagoo, Yep…it’s one thing to ignore an anonymous comment that is obviously someone just looking for a laugh or trying to piss people off, but it’s completely disrespectful to ignore intelligent, well-asked questions and comments.

We can see what's happening to you , imagine what would happen to someone else . @GerritsenBeach.net, I think that most people who used anonymous do so that they may ask a question or make a comment without being singled out . not for nothing but at one time you were a favorite son .

However that was an internal corporate forum and this is an external "public" forum. What I would do is just ignore the anonymous posts where it is obvious someone is just doing some obnoxious ranting or being a troll. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_%28Internet%29 The important posts are ones that are well though out, anonymous or not. Chronic complainers may have some real points about 20% of the time but it's real hard to identify the valid ones.
