Comment 89571

To borrow a line from Eric Schmidt & Jared Cohen "the true cost of remaining anonymous, then, might be irrelevance; even the most fascinating content, if tied to an anonymous profile, simply won’t be seen because of its excessively low ranking."

I've yet to post an anonymous comment or tweet online (then again I also sign my name to surveys, feedback forms and 360 peer evaluations).

If you've got something to say that you believe in, have the courage of your convictions and put your name to it.

I may not agree with your stand on an issue, but I'll respect you for staking a position. And who wants to spend their days surrounded by people who all think the same way?

I've also found that tuning out anonymous comments is a good way to keep from losing faith in humanity.

For me, the signed letters to the editor in The Spec carry far more weight than the anonymous snark posted at thespec.com and elsewhere online.
