memory serves that you can hide them behind a bulk server with one registrants name. (or something like that). I’ve seen this but can’t remember where.

Question and comment re: Pseudonyms and Anonymous tags.

In the assumptive belief that assuming these tags will hide our identity are we by extension extending invitations to others who also have something to hide?

Curiosity by its nature demands fulfillment with an answer. That answer may derived with good or bad intent.

A obvious perspective is that curiosity is hightened when the premise is one of secrecy. As such blog authors must decide to whom are they extending invitations.

I’m just sayin…..

Perhaps, people have a false sense of security when they are on the internet and think they can do anything they want and remain anonymous. I guess they don't know about IP addresses.

My analogy: Not much different than standing on a freeway during rush hour. Keep your arms in, head up, don't tie up your shoes, watch out for the truck mirrors and hope all the drivers are sober and have had a good day. Your points are extremely valid and for those who think it's easy or friendly re read this post and think again. It's certainly not all pretty and nice. Lesson #1 - Quickly learn how to delete people who pee in their cornflakes. Philosophically: Isn't it just life magnified? There are good, bad and just plain ugly people out there.
