Call me crazy…

I’ll probably get lambasted for this one:

Within the Blogosphere, I think it should be mandated by law that each post, comment, blog, and so forth not only include the author’s screename, but should include the author’s full name. I think its reprehensible that individuals may hide behind a screename and slander to their heart’s content without owning up to their words. Individuals have a right to privacy, no questions there. But an individual is just that; someone, not something (a screename). When you choose not to reveal your identity,  in a sense, you lose it.

I’m probably way out in left-field on this one, but I still think it’d be a great idea.

 Do you?

  1. Might this have anything to do with a certain website?

  2. I am in absolute agreement sube!!!

  3. Deliberately,
    Actually not. A “certain website” is not anonymous. I’m talking about people who contribute to blogs, espouse lunacy and won’t own up to their words. Cowardice.

  4. So, uh, where’s the full name in this post? ;)

    Merry Christmas.

  5. Great catch Erick!

  6. My darling would not appreciate my sharing so much information over the internet outright, though it’s probably very east to find nonetheless. (((((HUGS))))) sandi
