Subject: RE: BS: Sometimes Anonymous is good
I can understand why someone uses another Mudcat name than the real one, but I cannot understand why
people uses different Mudcat names to play different roles
people log out to insult others
people play here another persona than they are in life.

I even can't really understand why people chose anonymity when talking about something potentially embarrassing. When I talk to friends about something potentially embarrassing I do it openly since I trust them. When something is so embarrassing that I trust nobody I know I might prefer to talk about it anonymously to people that do not know me. But the choice to talk to people that I do know and that do know me anonymously I can't understand. I think I'd PM people I trust in such a situation.
