It is a liability thing. I also had my site up way before I had this job, built a base and wanted to keep my base happy. I do not agree with the person who gave og DK's address, however you missed the point. The person who responded was real, the picture was real, the phone number was real. The only thing that was not real was how it was introduced, period. I like what I do, but I also like expressing my views and anonymity allows me to express my views without any repercussions. For example, if I mention something political that goes against my bosses views he could use that to make my life difficult or terminate me. A simple, but real example. So if I am right 9 out of 10 times I still have no creditability if I do not give my name? Yup, that makes sense. You, like I, are entitled to your own views no matter how misguided. I digress as the name and info was given and was real. There is no ban, I just comment on things that fall outside of what we do. It is a liability thing.

I wish I did because that would be a sweet life. My position on bloggers who won't disclose their name stays the same. I don't exactly know what your situation is but if your employer has a ban on blogging then I think you ought to honor that so long as you take his paycheck or stand up, walk out and blog away.

It was very sad to see that that person just took the only article in the blogosphere where "part of the bloggers' campaign" was criticized and used it out of context as an argument for his case - without even understanding that you are not taking his side (what thinking person would) but just call for not stepping over the line. bloggers are just yet another part of population and..not everyone is civilized or smart :) BTW - very nice blog you have here, enjoyed reading some posts today.

So, you get paid to blog right? Most do not, but have something to say and their way is through blogging. I blog anonymously and I have a strong career, but do not want to jeopardize it and trust me, I have very big balls. Call it a weak sister or whatever you want, but the bottom line is my message has nothing to do with if you know my real name or not. Personally, I would rather have an anonymous blogger who has a job than read someone who doesn't. That's just my opinion. Oh, and in the Kneale segment you are referring to, the first round, the guy did give his real name, phone number and picture to him, but it made for better TV to not disclose that. So much for knowing the facts though. Who cares if someone wants to remain anonymous? So, you get paid to blog right? Most do not, but have something to say and their way is through blogging.
