Anonymous

Why do people hide behind the word "anonymous"? Are they too afraid of what people might think of their opinion or are too proud to even say who they are? It seems like "anonymous" is almost as big as Myspace. People commenting on things and signing it anonymous, why don't they just step up and sign their name...take possession of their own words? I know if I have something to say, good or bad, I'll be happy to let you know it's from me! :) Or you might want to take into consideration of Thumper from Bambi "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it all".

Here is what www.dictionary.com definied anonymous as:

a·non·y·mous /əˈnɒnəməs/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[uh-non-uh-muhs] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
–adjective 1. without any name acknowledged, as that of author, contributor, or the like: an anonymous letter to the editor; an anonymous donation.
2. of unknown name; whose name is withheld: an anonymous author.
3. lacking individuality, unique character, or distinction: an endless row of drab, anonymous houses.

My favorite? #3. "lacking individuality, unique character, or distinction"

If you post anything or have something to say, step out from behind "anonymous", give yourself some individuality and sign your name to things.

Thanks for reading! :)

wow, I was thinking of posting my next blog about the exact same thing! anonymous remind me of the smaller kid in school who only ran his mouth when he was behind a bigger brother or friend that would stick up for them. Then when know one was with him his mouth would stay shut, and played nice.
