Your RIGHT to ANONYMITY/ my right



Being an anonymous poster is everyone's right, it's my right. I am not a public figure and wish to remain private. Does that mean I have no right to speak my mind in a public forum? Who is to say I can't express an opinion or snipe someone whose opinion sounds inaccurate, condescending or is an out and out attack. I understand there are times when people use words like a knife, I get that the anonymous poster may tend to express themselves more liberally then if they attached their name to it. I get that, and maybe at times I'm guilty of it myself. For those of you who read my posts though, you know I only attack when I'm attacked or when I see someone else being verbally abused. I know there will be those among you who will bombard this thread with diatribes against me. That there are those of you who will call me names like "coward" or some other clever derogatory name. Say what you will, it's everyone's right to post anonymously, it's MY right.
