To Post or Not to Post

I "solve" that by preferring to post without connecting the posts to my identity. I noticed that this has allowed me to still get my voice heard, without tying my ego to it or risk problems or degradation of my pulblic personae.

Be it pure cowardice or something else even when I was much younger I understood that having something published under my name can bring me harm. In today's climate this is even more so even though my thoughts are far from the current topics.

As mentioned above it also helps to divorce it from your ego as much as it can be done, since as all the blame goes so does all the praise, and it allows you to both satisfy your need to vocalize your thoughts or ideas but also to see it just as one dimension of yourself that many readers ( including myself) fail go do when they generate opinion about the totality just by the excerpt or your thought in that time.

Also letting something sit for a while will help you immensely in seeing if this writing represents the you in the spur of the moment or is it something of more importance, maybe even bigger than you.

At the end of the day from me is more important that an idea or thought is made manifest than that there was a specific person that created that thought. Once "on the paper" for me the ownership of that is no longer mine its its own, as much as that can make sense.

Folks, can we please not flag new people as they open up under this post? This article encourages lurkers to post and partake in online conversations. It's ironic that there's a dead comment at the bottom by a confessed lurker who tried to say hello.

Not sure why this is downvoted. I used this to subscribe to the author's RSS feed.

How do you do that? i'd like to try, but don't feel i can be truly anonymous.
