Free Speach Yea! Cowardly Sniping Nay!

I agree...If indeed any name is as good as another (i.e. the argument given so often "Why is an unregistered name less valid than a registered name? They're all fake!"), then why not express youself under your registered name? As I've said already many times, I won't boot people off the board for arguing. So, if you have something nasty to say to someone, say it under your real name. Don't pussy out and post under an unregistered name - that just gives everyone (including myself) an excuse to discount you.

I agree with Cheri. Ignore it and it will go away. I think sometimes Guests can add humor to the site, and I think it's cool that people can talk about their personal problems without "revealing" themselves. There's a value to the Guest function. However, using the Guest feature to be rude and unfunny is pretty immature and cowardly - and most importantly, it's not entertaining. It's boring. It shows you can't handle conflict, that you're a big baby worm. I hate big baby worms.
 
Oh joy....Oh bliss

Did you actually say my name, Laurel? I am brimming over with appreciation for actually noticing my insignificant post let alone agreeing with me. Bend on over so I can really show you my gratitude.
Now I get to change my ass test answer to one kiss of Laurel's ass! Woo-hoo!
 
*bending over*

Get the left cheek, hun - the right's a little sore from all the attention. ;)
 
I see what you mean, Expertise, but sometimes, even if it is the web, the people here are your friends and sometimes you don't want to hurt them by backstabbing. so you make it anonymous, even though in a way it already IS anonymous.
 
Some of my thoughts on this whole thing. Yes, the board names we use are somewhat anonymous. But there are real people with real feelings attached to the names. Just because you can use a false name here, and nobody knows who you are or where you live, doesn't give you license to hurt others feelings or harrass and annoy for no other reason than that you think it's funny.
 
Yeah, but if they are indeed your friends, why publicly humiliate them by insulting them in public from an anonymous account? If you "backstab" a friend, can you truly call yourself a friend? I would tend to say no, but that's just MHO.
 
Sparkman, consider yourself cursed in a voodoo kinda way

If you feel a sharp stabbing pain in your left testicle, it's me giving you a voodoo kiss! ROFLMAO
 
Cheri -

I think maybe I could dig that - a little - but only from you. You put me on pins and needles. And if you do Voodoo on me and I do Voodoo on you - then who do we Voodoo? Them do?
 
but Laurel...

I didn';t mean it as true backstabbing, but sometimes your opinions differ from those fo your friends. I suppose you're right about that if they're you're friend, they have a right to know what you're saying to them as being from you, but sometimes you want unbiased opinions from others ont eh BB and there are certain people who would not respond kidly to your normal name.
 
Well, considering that you are taking your anger for my opinion to another thread...

:p

Go get 'em Siren!!!!

Ya just gotta love those straight talking lawyers.( I almost said lady lawyers, but I don't want to get run over again. I feel the same way you do about the way some folks react to an opinion or belief different than their own.

I remember when I was the speaker's chair for a group that dealt with racial and ethnic diversity. I wanted to invite the head of a Neo- Nazi group to speak to us. It never happened because of the outcry. I wanted to hear what he had to say and ask him how he formed his beliefs. I thought it would be interesting. I tried to book other controversial speakers and was rebuked. I later left the group because of their attitude. They liked speakers that would say what they wanted to hear. Sound familiar??

P.S. I ain't leaving here, if that was what you were hoping.
 
I don't know how to sign on as a guest. I wish someone would teach me so if I ever want to post a question anonymously, I could do it. (I did that once, and thankfully got a lot of good advice without embarrassing someone close to me.)

Laurel, is there a way to identify the trolls operating under a faker name? I'm not computer literate enough to know if that's possible. Do you know who they are? Methinks that if they knew for a fact you and Manu knew who was behind the shit, they might not spew it. Just a thought...
 
Whisper.
If you want to post under a guest name it 'post reply' and where it says 'username' and 'password' delete both those fields. Just type in the guest name you want to use under 'username' and hit post.

Yes, the server logs the ISPs of people who come to Literotica. But Laurel has stated that she doesn't want to know who is posting what and will not try to find out.

I suppose I don't know her enough to trust her but as I rarely 'troll' I don't really worry about that sort of thing.
 
I wonder if they can guess who I am???

Fooled you, didn't I. (Now for that wicked laugh). BWAAAAAzHAAAWWaaBwa (or something like that).

I am the Avenger out to wreak havoc on the world.(I like this but I gotta go now).

blue (OOPS!!!)
 
This whole argument prompts me to wonder what offline interactions would be like if we were able to briefly disguise ourselves and express our true thoughts and feelings the way posters can on the BB as a "guest".

In college, I read a work by Plato called "The Ring of Gyges" (sp?) in which the philosopher poses the question of how a person would behave if he had a ring of invisibility allowing him to come, go, and do as he pleased without being seen. Would he still abide by our concepts of "right" and "wrong", or without accountability, would he act out of pure selfishness, doing only as he pleases?

It seems to me that this BB is like an experiment to solve this question. The "guest" function is like a ring of invisibility, removing the accountability that usually exists in social life. We're seeing that some people at least are taking advantage of the opportunity to reveal their "inner asshole".

And why shouldn't they? I suppress my inner asshole all day long. If an attending physician belittles me for not knowing each clotting factor in the coagulation cascade I have to grit my teeth, nod, and smile. If a patient abuses me for any number of irrational reasons, I have to sit there and take it. And all goes smoothly with the delivery of daily medical care and education.

Still, I don't think I'd turn down the ability to willingly disappear into room air and become a disembodied "guest" voice, spewing expletives and retaliating without consequences. If nothing else, at the end of the day, I'd be a lot less tense.

But is it right, you ask? Ah... there's the rub. Whether he was God or not, the best advice ever given for interacting with others is to "turn the other cheek" and "do unto others as you would have them do unto you" (instead of "as they do unto you). This works beautifully in our guest-free offline lives, but what would Christ have done if he could've posted as "GUH!!!", instead of turning that cheek? The Gospel of Luke might have turned out very different... perhaps including strap-on dildos. (awww, shit. I'm goin' to hell for that one.)

Is it cowardly? Of course. Does it display the worst aspects of our dirty, filthy natures? Certainly. But for entertainment value, it's even better than the Olympics.

Still, I find the "guests" a bit silly. So what if you get bashed by Lasher, Siren, Deborah or other BB bulldogs? The worst that can happen to you by speaking out under your regular name is a little razzing and revocation of your pool-orgy flirting priveleges. The horror. ;)

I'll take my chances without anonymity for now.
