Posting/Commenting Anonymously? Really?

This article should make anyone think twice about posting anything online even if they think they are doing it anonymously. Is anything really anonymous?

This article below in The Las Vegas Review Journal talks about a "subpoena for names of readers who posted views."

And if not posting anonymously, should you post with your real name? Read the comments to this article and see where one person was harassed because someone didn't like what he said in a comment while using his real name.

I see a lot of nutty comments posted in our local paper sites, local tv station sites, and more. If everyone realized that they are not really anonymous when posting, I wonder what they would do then.

Wendy - The internet is still the wild wild west out there and most of the people will have strong opinions of course. But you know what they say about "opinions".... Everyone has one and most of them stink. along with other body parts......lol

It can be a little scary out there and anonymity is not something that is really prevalent on the web anymore... just sayin... It's something to think about for sure. Good post!

I think people need to let it go. Its funny how people get so worked up about things.
