Just yesterday I discovered this frightening, mind-blowing example of the darkest side of anonymous commenting suffered by the author of Creating Passionate Users here: http://headrush.typepad.com/creating_passionate_users/2007/03/as_i_type_this_.html CPU is a popular blog on creativity in business and marketing. I completely agree with you, Aaron. People should be held accountable in the public forum of the blogosphere; that's why my user name is my real name. The real tossers are those who hide, throw rocks, then run away. I think more pioneers of social media will begin to voluntarily adopt technologies like you're suggesting; most ardent users of the blogosphere believe in openness and accountability. I'd like more of your perspective on how to distribute the technology — it only takes a few thought leaders to blaze the trail for others. That said, there will always be freaks out there. As I once told my son, the Internet is a window that lets every dimension of the human experience into your home -- including its depravity.

CPU is a popular blog on creativity in business and marketing. I completely agree with you, Aaron. People should be held accountable in the public forum of the blogosphere; that’s why my user name is my real name. The real tossers are those who hide, throw rocks, then run away.

I think more pioneers of social media will begin to voluntarily adopt technologies like you’re suggesting; most ardent users of the blogosphere believe in openness and accountability. I’d like more of your perspective on how to distribute the technology — it only takes a few thought leaders to blaze the trail for others.

That said, there will always be freaks out there. As I once told my son, the Internet is a window that lets every dimension of the human experience into your home — including its depravity.
