I often find myself more interested in the Author motives, rather then what they are saying simply because that is the more interesting part of the process. This is especially true when you get the sense that the Author is projecting their failings on the rest of us, or when they a giving a sermon from on high.
This piece is an excellent example of the former, anonymous comments have been with us for a long time. Commenting without putting your name to it can often be a coward’s way it can also be the only when that people can feel free to speak their mind. Either way we shouldn’t be afraid of comment however it is given.
The other end I=of this is to review the Author themselves, Can we look at this is a different way, Why is the author afraid of anonymous comment, does the author seek to be able to attack the person rather then the feedback and can’t do this if the comment is give anonymously? Or is it from some deep-seated fears of not fitting in from school?
In the words of Chopper TTFU, you should never be silent through fear.
