anonymity breeds contempt

Rum, beer, movies, nice websites, gaming, etc., without interrupting the flow of martial threads.

anonymity breeds contempt

Postby meeks on Fri Oct 22, 2010 10:34 am

I was walking out of a coffee shop today and the cover of the Vancouver Sun (newspaper) had an article about people arguing on internet forums. It made a valid (and obvious) point that when people can remain anonymous they can drop the gloves (hockey term) a lot faster when they disagree online.

So I thought we should all post pictures of ourselves to remove anonymity and then if you meet your adversary on the street you can deal with him in a more realistic, face to face fashion.

so here I am in all my glory:
