Question of the Day: 10/12 Anonymity

Should anonymity (not using real name) be protected in electronic interactions and communications? Would this be a good thing for community, responsibility, free expression, political participation, and personal fulfillment? If so, when and why?

Anonymity should be protected in certain electronic interactions and communications because while the anonymity can be a good way to protect yourself or someone who means no harm, it can protect flames, bad people, and criminals.
Anonymity can help people express themselves freely on blog or site where your opinion matters. As long as the chatting stays friendly , anonymity is not a bad thing at all.
