A lot of people don't trust anonymous internet users. I have come to realize that anonymous users might in fact be more honest. At least for me, my anonymity ensures that you'll hear MORE of what I'm secretly thinking, not less. Here's the thing. One of my neighbors (whom I have a very friendly relationship with) made these claims on a recent Facebook post: - She and her children's rights are being infringed on when they are not allowed to pray. - The United States is based on the Christian god. - The Christian god is what made the United States tolerant. Now, realize that on Facebook, I'm not anonymous. I'm her neighbor and we have a good relationship which I don't want to risk. So, in my non-anonymous response to her, did I act more or less like my inner self than I would have if I'd been anonymous? Well, I acted less like my inner self and more accommodating. Is this good in some situations? Absolutely. It keeps the peace....
