    I disagree fellow earth man. I am a big on people being their real self with real details. Just like I do here.

      What do you disagree about? You can be as real as you want anonymously. What I said was if you want to say you’re a particular person, you should have to prove that.

      So you might be some Joe or Jane Nobody and that’s fine, but say you have a mid-level government job somewhere, it isn’t important, but it would be embarrassing to you if someone posted as you. In that case, if someone wanted to defame you by saying they’re you, I think they should be obliged to prove it. Or they can say defaming things about you, they just have to do it anonymously — or under their own name. They couldn’t say they were you and that they (you) did things you never did.

      If you wanna be your 100% genuine self but be anonymous about it, I think that’s perfectly fine. I do the same — I’m too old, and not smart enough by far — to invent a persona. So I just try to be my best self.
