I've always felt that if I have something to say that I'm embarrassed or scared to have attributed to myself, I probably shouldn't be saying it. I find that anonymous bloggers are much more aggressive than they probably really are - or would be if they would be onymous. (ff spellcheck is not up to date on that word). I do see why DovBear and the ilk are anonymous though. As he says, why should his kids suffer because he is an outspoken blogger. His words would carry a lot more weight if he had a name, as would the Bray, not brisk yeshivish and all the others who comment on the chareidi world. all the best I tweet facebook and blog using my real name.

I am proud of who I am, and i am not afraid to have opinions. i am careful to tread the line between public and private, and am always respectful of my family's feelings with regard to putting information out there. hiding behind anonymity - where is the courage of one's convictions? yes it allows people, esp in the religious community, to vent and blog without risk of recriminations - but what about being true to yourself? i have made some amazing friends on these social networks, - even the anonymous ones end up having a name and a face...you can only be anonymous to a point. being that i am a mom, i am very careful that my blogging isn't something that will embarrass the children. My husband and my sons are very proud of me and the blog, and i know that i can ruin that by one unthought-out post. if i was anonymous, it would be no big deal. i raise my children to be true to themselves, how can i teach them that if i do not practise it?
