Why are these boards so ANONYMOUS? - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

Solace · 08-19-2004, 02:28 PM

Hi All,

Just wondering, why does it appear that no one wants to put their face to their names, I have made a realisation of the mess I made, I am not ashamed to admit it, I may want to disguise it! but take a look it is me! The Foolish Man.

Solace.

I don't know, try asking them, but if you ask me, I'm alqaedagirl 4 life.

But we must preserve our anonimity in some ways for our own security and protection.
This is a public site. :shrug:

Um, because we are protecting people we care about, and ourselves. It is a public site like the other ones said. You can't just give out tons of personal information to people you don't know.

Sure you can! Might better temper it with discretion though, or be willing to deal with whatever consequences pleasant or unpleasant come as a result. On the flip we need to take whats posted with a grain of salt. There are many on the web as well as in real life who may not be honest. Then there are those who may be bored and find entertainment in instigation.

anonymity is the great leveler, a spiritual principle that all are equally valuable in the larger scheme. On a spiritual level, anonymity has naught to do with names.
