Dear Anonymous(es)

First off I'd like to thank the people thathave been so nice on their comments on my Elder Scroll speculation post. And I'm here to address your criticism with criticism of your criticism.

  1. Show yourself
If you're going to say what I've spent a lot of my own time working on and researching is essentially faulty, show your face.

Being anonymous doesn't make you safe, in this case it makes you a coward. I can't even take you seriously. And the person that agreed with the first anon, how do I know you're not doing the equivalent of liking your own facebook comment? I have no way of knowing.
What you think you look like
What you actually look like


   2. Cite it!

If you're going to make a claim, back it up with your source. And your memories don't count. A screenshot or a link in this case would work. Don't say shit if you can't back it up.
Basically this
Present them. Prove it.

Okay, glad to get that off my chest. Now I can blog again

    I'm pretty sure you can block Anonymous commenting on Blogspot.

    I remember an online community a few years back, where you could post as Anonymous, but it would show your name as Anonymous Coward. Its still a popular site, I just forget which.

  2. That was Slashdot.

    I agree. Just disable Anonymous comments if you do not like them. Do not be a SJW who says there should not be anonymity.

    There is a difference between the two positions. Nobody will blame you for turning off anonymous comments, but you'll get people not commenting who would have otherwise, for better and for worse.

    Being anonymous makes some people bitches, but it makes others braver to say things that need to be said. Just don't let the trolls get you down man.
