Stop posting anonymously.

If you have a question you want answered, own it.

[that's it

that's the post

wouldn't it be funny if all the replies were anonymous]

In general? People shouldn't be afraid to ask questions.

[boarwitness]

Exactly. [EXACTLY!!! this guy.]

And there's no accountability.

[dodgeouttahell]

[Wait.] Why would there be a need for accountability, though?

Shouldn't seeking more knowledge be free of that?

[boarwitness]

What do you mean.

[dodgeouttahell]

[Aaaah Greek falacies and sophism.]

Well, assuming that someone isn't just asking to make a statement, and in that case, I agree, everyone should own up to it and not do so anonymously…

If someone asks a question because they don't know something, how could they be held responsible for it? They probably aren't even aware of what they're being responsible for.

[boarwitness]

Why aren't they signing their name to the question, if it's innocent knowledge searching?

[dodgeouttahell]

Because…

They're afraid of being held accountable for something they don't know?

[boarwitness]

Do you really believe that?

They just want information without giving anything up.

[dodgeouttahell]

Why would they give anything up, though?

[boarwitness]

I'm not talking about asking what color the sky is.

If people are going to be asking these searching questions, they should identify themselves, first. It's as simple as that.

[dodgeouttahell]

Shouldn't those searching questions be the type that people feel the most comfortable with? How else would they figure out who they are and what to do if they're afraid to ask?

[boarwitness]

That's romanticizing it. People can say anything they like if they post anonymously—it's not possible to decide if it's in good faith or not.

[dodgeouttahell]

Perhaps you're right.

Still, I feel the best course of action is to become examples ourselves.

[boarwitness]

[hmph. he can't disagree with that.]

To start with.
