I understand why people might wish to remain anonymous - If their real names were linked to comments some could face problems in their work, social or family life.
Anonymity allows people to say what they think without repercussions.
The secret blog comment is as important to politics today, as was the secret ballot 150 years ago.
However I did think that this comment posted by a nonny was quite hilarious
Anonymous said...
Who is NM? Is his identity publicly known? Or maybe it's a she? Just wondering
People who post comments under Anonymous said... clearly have no right to try to "out" those who post under regular monikers!
Normal Mouth,
ReplyDeletecome out of the woodwork and reveal who you are.....
and that goes for all the nonnies.
Personally I am happy to be alanindyfed in the forefront of Plaid resurgence in Llanelli.
What about VM, Lenin Cymru, Ceredig, Hen Ferchetan, Welsh Lobbyist, mrs Wagstaff, Johnny Foriegner, Arsembly, Evidently Chickentown, Dotcommenator?
ReplyDeleteHow far do you want the witchunt to go Alan. Bloggers who want to protect their identities should be allowed to.
What about them?
ReplyDeleteIt would be nice to know who they are.

ReplyDeleteI thought you were in Latvia...
It was I who asked who NM was. It wasn't a case of wanting to out him......I wandered if he/she's identity was known. I was just interested to find out. I could say whatever I wanted on this blog or any other.....believe me I wouldn't lose my job....that's how crap a job it is. If I gave my name.....noone would be any the wiser.
ReplyDeleteMiserable old fart,
Don't try and suck up to NM just because he told you off yesterday.
Oh no it wasn't you that asked who NM is. It was me. I was the one who wandered who he/she/is.
ReplyDeleteSanddef..
ReplyDeleteI'm actually physically in Lithuania now but the blog blogs on.
I will be back in the holy ground at the end of the week!
"And still I live in hopes to see
the Holy Ground once more."
Irish Trad.
Don't listen to those two impostors above. I'M the one that asked who NM was.
ReplyDelete">>>Identify the slave known as Spartacus<<<".
ReplyDeleteAll anons are imposters in reverse,
ReplyDeletepeople pretending to be somebody they are not.
I'm the real alan in dyfed and I'm not in Lithuania .... I'm in Moldova, fed up with those cool northern blondes and looking for a bit of southern passion ... tally-ho!
ReplyDeleteMy PC has been down for a few days. I now see that people are claiming to be me. Can I assure you that I AM the one who wandered who NM is and not these wannabe Anons. They need to get a life. Sad gits.
ReplyDeletewhats an imposter in reverse,confuddled now
ReplyDeleteIgnore the last comment supposedly from me.
ReplyDeleteSome crazy anon wrote it.
This man is an IMPOSTER.
Beware of anonymous imposters!
Normal Mouth has a right to his anonymity. If I was a Labour supporter I'd want to be anonymous right now.
ReplyDeleteMore seriously, he also has a job that makes it difficult for him to comment openly so leave the poor boy alone.
Let's break our silence
ReplyDeleteNo need for violence...
If you really came from the Rhondda, you would know that the place name doesn't rhyme with "Wanda".
ReplyDeleteBut then, you spammed your you tube video, so mission accomplished!!!!!!!
evidently chickenshit is none other than David Taylor, otherwise known as Arsembly, Natwatch or Leighton Andrews' right hand shit stirrer.
