An Observation Concerning "LOVE" Blog Comments

I usually read all the comments, and we certainly appreciate the exchanges between some of our bloggers.

One of the positives about the blog is the fact that it gives our neighbors a forum to express their thoughts on those issues affecting us.

However, although anyone can comment using their own name, the site allows for pseudonyms if one so desires.

Although I know the identity of many of the bloggers who choose to use a pseudonym, I don't know everyone.

Regardless, I wonder how equitable it is when one individual uses his/her name, while another uses a pseudonym and finds fault with the individual who chooses to not be anonymous.

That's the way it is, but I would ask the readers to keep that in mind on those occasions where individuals see things from a different perspective.

Obviously, all opinions are welcome.

It is fair in my opinion because we have the choice to use
our own name or remain anonymous.

Wouldn't we recognize Don Cox from his comments and his stand on issues?

Thinker,

I asked this on an earlier post but you did not respond. Do you know who I am? I think you do.

If anyone misconstued my original post, allow me to clarify my position.

Specifically, a blogger----Zev Cywan is a good example, will offer an intelligent, well thought out comment. Then another blogger using a pseudonym will not only comment on Zev's point, but anonymously take Zev to task.

While this is acceptable, I only ask if it is fair?

The readers will decide.
