Is it normal to not want a username?

I would like my comments to be anonymous on IIN. Everyone would be anonymous. Does anyone agree?

Yes 27
No 10
Maybe 12
Other 1
Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

        All credit to Spacey...though I can't remember exactly how she made it, or the name she gave it. Maybe iEatZombies_ will remember.

        I miss Spacey :(

    This has been discussed before.

    It has it's pro's and con's. Personally, I would not like it. I need my unique identity, and without that the community spirit would certainly die out.

    Well that might help at keeping us anonymous. Though you should know nothing is truly anonymous here. Since people have to try and guess who is writing the question. So no one answers the questions without bias a lot of time they just take the time to Attack the OP based on some previous notion they have of said person.

    They also sometimes falsely attack an OP believing they are someone else since they might have very similar writing styles. Which kind of defeats the point of being an OP(inaccurate since Anonymous starts with an A).

    So it would probably create more conflict since people don't get the point of posting anonymously. They just want to get revenge on someone they dislike. I think it would be better to have a rule that its not alright to attack a OP based on your GUESS of who that person is. To stay on topic and to never go on someone post just to bash the OP. Since it defeats the purpose of being able to post anonymously. That someone is going to judge a post they can only judge on whatever was made in the post and said on the post.

    This has been used in the reverse to change text to sound like another person and pretending to post like them. This is another way to shame a person by making that person look bad. Since people assume its them writing it.

    Just pick a name that doesn't say anything and you'll still be anonymous.

    My nickname does say something about me, but only those who know who I am are able to figure it out.
