It has been brought to my notice

[maevele]

 that my public posts are being discussed in anon now.  Part of me gives not a shit, and the other part wants to unlock all my private entires to give them some really interesting material to play with.     If they want to fuck with me, they may as well have the real me to fuck with, right?

either way, they can eat my ass.

*hugs you lots* Bastards. And you know, why should you show them anything at all? I'd say keep the locked entries locked and to hell with those pitiful little wastes who've got nothing better to do than trash-talk anonymously.

That's some ridiculous bullshit, yo.

Anon communities baffle me.

WTF with these anonymous communities? Are we adults? If you have to say it in secret behind my back, then maybe you shouldn't be saying it at all, is my thinking. Fuck that.

I guess I'd ask why I would want to give them more ammunition and whether I was trying to prove my toughness or something at the expense of opening myself up for abuse. On the one hand the anon communities aren't particularly relevant outside of their own little dens of gossip and invective, so you could express your contempt for them by letting them see everything. On the other, you might actually have some emotional investment in what goes on there, so testing yourself in a game of chicken with what is inherently a forum to encourage bullying might cost you more than you think it will.

I've looked at some of those comms and although they can be fascinating in that train wreck sort of way they seem to me to be places set up so that the worst aspects of communication on the internet can be amplified by the lack of accountability that anonymous posting provides. Do you want to star in their next spectacle? Not saying I think you should answer in any specific way, but that's just what I see going on there.
