The truth is, there are a lot of reasons to remain anonymous. The multiple examples of people losing jobs and relationships because of things they post to Facebook and the like is more than enough.
JAG is right to not want to reveal his real identity, but for him to argue that others should is most definitely sanctimonious bullcrap.

Oh my god. Did I actually say that? Can you go back and re-read what I said. Did I say anything about other should reveal their identiies? I am asking questions no the topic as a point of discussion. You are making assumptions of what my opinion is and then judging what I am saying. Please don't decide what I am thinking.
I started with a question. This is what I said ....
Why do people have to hid their identity on the internet? If you have an opinion why be anonymous about it?
Then I said ....
No. I am not kidding. It seems that too many people hide behide their anonymous id and then think they can say anything they want. If they were not anonymous then it would clean up alot of this internet crap.
Then I said ....
I fully expected that response. You win for being first. I have nothing to hide. But unfortunately the other anonymous people of the world enjoy screwing with people's lives so I won't post under my real name.
If you posted under your real name would you post any differently? Be honest. Would you? I know I wouldn't.
Then I said....
I do believe what I am saying. But like I said already. There are too many anonymous people on the internet who would screw with that information.
The visious cycle has been started and it can't be stopped.
Then I said ....
Yep. But not worth the effort for little ole me.
