    I act the same here and in daily life, because I use my real name online. If I write insulting, damaging and hateful things, I may suffer the consequences if a family member, colleague or acquaintance reads it and speaks to me about it.

    I believe anonimity is the internet’s biggest danger, and therefore I avoid anonimity and use my own whenever I can.

    The former. I only put my uniform on in the privacy of a phone booth.

    No, anonymity has no real effect on me. I try to be IRL, the way you read me here.

    i use anonymity to disconnect my web history on google searches, though i leave clues for intelligence organizations (it makes me feel important).

    my comments are sometimes extreme and objectionable to the norms of jewish society, so i feel more of a freedom to express my opinions openly.

    i don’t think its proper that people “judge” someone based on one sentence they write in haste that they can’t erase. i think herzle was incorrectly judged harshly for “thinking outloud”.

    also the degree and type of slander circulated about me in my “real life” has rendered my real name an obscenity.

    wikipedia says most formal name systems were spread from the west for government monitoring in the 1700-1800’s.

    Although I use this nom de blog, I hold the same opinions and attitudes in real life. In fact, from time to time, I wonder why I even bother with the anonymity in the first place.

    If you were to meet me in real life, you would find that I am exactly as I am here and on my blog… except perhaps with more fur and longer canines.

    I agree with Daniel, I’ve been on the net since ’91 and have been using my real name the entire time. If I can’t sign my name to it I shouldn’t say it.

    #755909

    I completely associate myself with Zach’s comment. If you’re not willing to sign your name to what you say, maybe you shouldn’t be saying it.

    #755910

    I very much agree with my dear friends Daniel, Zach, and Raphael.

    I also agree with my friends…

    My screen name happens to be my first name, last name & all my children’s first names. Don’t know, ask Mommy.

    I will admit on a few internet fora I sign myself “Zach In Israel” but my real name always there somewhere.
