Richard at Philosophy, et cetera has some interesting thoughts on respecting pseudonymity (link). I think most folks on the net agree with his primary conclusion with a small minority of vengeful folks falling into his proposed alternative.

Comment Guidelines:
1. Thanks for posting a comment. Without you, this blog would not be interactive.
2. Please be polite. That doesn't mean you have to use kid gloves, but please try not to flame others, even if they are heretics, infidels, or worse.
3. If you insult me, I'm more likely to delete your comment than if you butter me up. After all, I'm human. I prefer praise to insults. If you prefer insults, there's something wrong with you.
4. Please be concise. The comment box is not your blog. Your blog is your blog. If you have a really long comment, post it on your blog and post a short summary of it here.
5. Please don't just spam. It's one thing to be concise, it's another thing to simply use the comment box to advertise.
6. Please note, by commenting here, you are relinquishing your (C) in your comments to me.
7. Remember that you will give an account on judgment day for your words, including those typed in comment boxes. Try to write so you will not be ashamed if it is read back before the entire world.
8. Stay on topic. If your comment has nothing to do with the post, email it to me (my email can be obtained through my blogger profile), or simply don't post it.
9. Don't post as "Anonymous." If you are going to post anonymously, at least use some kind of recognizable "handle," so we can tell you apart from all the other anonymous folks. (This is moot at the moment, since recent abuse has forced me to turn off "anonymous" commenting.)
10. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you; and abstain from doing to others what you would not wish upon yourself.
I have an over the head straightforward solution to this pseudonymity issue. It's "His Faith".
ReplyDeleteWhatever is not of His Faith is sin.
He did die for sinners and pseudonymities seeing there is nothing He is not quite aware of all the time.
I may not know you but by His Faith I rest in the fact that He does.
The rules of the game then should be, and are not always, I will trust the Lord with all my heart and lean not on my own understanding but in all my pseudonymity acknowledge Him and He will see to it that I do it anyway! :)
I was disturbed with only one word in his article and found it an inappropriate word to use in his article, which launched me onto thinking "what" would have been a better word to use than that one word, "p..s"?
"tick" would fit the bill, I thtink.
ReplyDeleteWith a slight change to the syntax one could substitute ... anger, upset, provoke, etc.
