Or people want to stay anonymous because they don't want their lives ruined by some vindictive psychopath who would call their employer and try to get them fired or who would threaten their business, both of which I've seen on this site. Needless to say, I don't trust anyone on this site.
How screwed up is that? You have to stay hunkered down in your home for fear of some lunatic is going to come after you for what you’ve said on here? Honestly, you have more risk from some vindictive psycho driving on our roads. If you’re living an honest life and you are who are you really are, I wouldn’t think there should be much of a worry here. If folks are getting to the point where they would harm someone for what is said in a forum, then THAT person needs to get help.
As for being mean and nasty, I have no problem calling things the way I see them and don't see a reason why I need to defend my opinion. What you call being mean and nasty I call an honest and straight to the point opinion.
But see, that’s the problem… There is calling things the way you see it; then there is getting just plain foul and abjectly disrespectful. There is nothing honest about one person calling another person (that they don’t even know) all sorts of disparaging names. It shows some real limits to one’s thinking. It shows a lack of desire to carry on a debate with substance. It’s obviously fine for someone to lose their temper from time to time and bark out a name; but for many here, it’s their MO. It’s all they come here to do. It’s really pretty sad.
