I am saying two things yes. And I am saying that if you are giving a professional opinion, it cannot by definition be anonymous. That does not mean you (ONE, OK????) does not have the right to give anonymous opinions. One does, of course. Now, coupled with an ... 25 Oct 2009 16:58 GMT /cafe/MegaBBS/forumthread14963msg187645.htm#187645 dominique f.: There are 2 issues being mixed up here: 1) Insulting and/or aggressive comments on TCT or any other forum: this is indeed unacceptable, whether signed with a full name or a pseudo. And 2) anonymity or non- in cyberspace: this is everyone's choice. Some love to have their name and/or picture ... 24 Oct 2009 21:57 GMT /cafe/MegaBBS/forumthread14963msg187630.htm#187630 Jane Lamb-Ruiz: Frankly, that does not make much sense to me. In any event, if they do so, they are THEN NOT BEING professional. A professional statement is ALWAYS non-anonymous. THOUGH, it is not always public. Think about that for just a minute. If a doctor makes a professional statement, he or she signs his or ... 24 Oct 2009 16:23 GMT /cafe/MegaBBS/forumthread14963msg187625.htm#187625 Liliana Boladz-Nekipelov: Jane, maybe some famous people, like book authors, professors at a university, cannot use their real name, especially for TC discussions, so they have to use alias even for TC Terms. They should behave, however, as if they were using their real name. Anonymity should not be a cover-up for abuse and ... 24 Oct 2009 15:40 GMT /cafe/MegaBBS/forumthread14963msg187623.htm#187623 Jane Lamb-Ruiz: Liliana: You are MISSING MY POINT entirely. I am not talking about pseudonymous authors of books. I'm talking about using an alias on a website where MOST USERS, (yourself, for instance), use their real names to make statements AS A PROFESSIONAL OPINION, and not use a real name. That is what ... 24 Oct 2009 15:23 GMT /cafe/MegaBBS/forumthread14963msg187574.htm#187574 Nanna Mercer: Thank you, Liliana. I didn't bring it up, but I do admit to having had my morning coffee so that could account for the discrepancy in consciousness :-K :-K :-K Nanna 24 Oct 2009 09:27 GMT /cafe/MegaBBS/forumthread14963msg187572.htm#187572 Liliana Boladz-Nekipelov: I am not just talking about TC. You may want to use your Alias as an author, although I usually do not. As for the rest, I cannot explain it at this time: it is too metaphysical and it is too early. 24 Oct 2009 09:23 GMT /cafe/MegaBBS/forumthread14963msg187570.htm#187570 Nanna Mercer: That is not generally encouraged as an option. Nanna 24 Oct 2009 09:10 GMT /cafe/MegaBBS/forumthread14963msg187566.htm#187566 Liliana Boladz-Nekipelov: I think anonymity should be cherished: only by respecting people who use their alias we can learn to respect people in general. Anonymity is everybody's right based on personal freedom, provided the person does not pretend to be somebody else, meaning voices opinions he or she would have not ... 24 Oct 2009 08:56 GMT /cafe/MegaBBS/forumthread14963msg187310.htm#187310 Dodo Kaipdodo: Has anybody called you that, Jane? That`s not nice, in spite of being or not being anonymous. But what would you do if you knew their real name? Call them names? Well, you better direct them my way. As a linguist, I should be able to deal with them for you. With pleasure, I mean. And not ... 20 Oct 2009 18:23 GMT
