I had a conversation today with someone and we talked about anonymity and the relevance of it. Some were upset that anonymous was not "Coming out". And honestly I debated whether or not to use the option of not allowing anon. to post but the person I spoke to said (and I agreed) that I should not use that option. Why?A few reasons.
1-Anon has every right to express his/her feelings without feeling obligated to reveal him/herself.
2- We have to agree to disagree. Everyone does not have to have the same opinion otherwise life would be pretty boring.
3- If Anon has something in particular to say to someone I'm sure he/she would say it to that person. The opinions are probably general and not toward anyone in particular.
4- Anon can be anyone in our congregation or not. A blog is international so it can pretty much be anyone.

I do not want to squelch anyone's enthusiasm in commenting, on the contrary I look forward to reading all comments.

I ask one favor, use discretion. I am sure anon can find a way to express his/herself without being harsh because although their intent might have not been to anger, in internet text world the tone of the writer is not apparent.

God Bless you and have a nice day!
