We all know the phenomenon on SoulCast called 'anonimous posting'. It's a type of posting where you don't get to see someone's nickname. It should be delted and here's why:

Unless you use your real name as a nickname, you don't know ho that person really is. I can guess FaithfullDisciple is a Christian, but that's about it. Maybe he isn't a Christian but just pretends to be one. No offence on FaithfullDisciple, because I believe he/she s honest, but you get the idea. Maybe I have this nickname because I'm a serial killer who likes to chop off limbs. I'm not, but I can pretend to be, and there's only one person in the world who knows I'm joking: me.

This gives you near unlimited privacy, because no-one knows your real name. No-one knows who you are. So why make an extra 'anonimous' option? Are you afraid people will stalk your blogs with insulting comments? Are you too shy to show your nickname?

Ladies and gentlemen, I bet 95% of the trollers make use of the 'anonimous' option. They troll and you can hardly have your revenge. Without the 'anonimous' option, I bet most of the trollers disappear. So who came up with this?

I don't hate trollers. They're dumb and annoying as hell, but hey, that's Internet. And according to http://www.pointlesswasteoftime.com/misery.html, you NEED annoying people around you in order to stay happy. Then again, the name might be right in place.

    I support the anonymous post feature. Some people feel the need to use the feature (for whatever their reasons). Yes, I understand that trolls may use the feature to go ahead and be trolls, but like you said, you need some annoying people around in order to stay happy.

    I support it mostly because it does provide a way to contribute to the forums, whether you are a member or not.

I feel so completely empty. I've been so depressed lately that I can't seem to remember when I became this way. What happened to me? I can't be happy anymore. I can't bring myself to do any of the things I used to like. All I want to do is sit around and...
What is the cure for a loss of appetite? Recently, I cannot seem to eat much food, nor do I have the desire to eat. I am not sure why exactly, but I have experienced this in the past and have no idea how I got back to eating....
