anonymous blogging (in any venue)

anonymity serves only one purpose and that purpose is
inconsistent with the goal of productive discourse.

the problem is not that I don't know your name, our names are utterly irrelevant.

the problem is your unwillingness to stand up and defend your position.

people with sound philosophical arguments do not present them anonymously. the submit them proudly.

anonymity serves only those who have nothing to contribute regarding the message. it serves only those who are served by attacking the messenger.

while it is possible to prevail in a philosophical argument by other than a philosophical argument; the tactic is diametrically opposite to the purpose of philosophical argument.
