Some people in a lot of places seem to hold the idea of anonymity like way too important. They despise avatarfags, namefags, tripfags and other forms of identity.
In the discussion that is to follow, I would like to hear something more substantial to back up that hate other than your own psychological complexes or whatever.
Honestly, this gets ridiculuous sometimes, because people get sharted on for no other reason than having a pseudonym. People with nothing better to do than flaming just start picking on posters they don't like and they keep pestering them forever for that lame excuse.
Like, if you don't like somebody, don't fucking hide behind a crowd you stupid shitstain, OK? That kind of crowd mentality is disgusting and shouldn't be overused, and you lying to yourself won't do you any good.
So, two points: the credibility of the claim that anonymous is da best and the legitimacy of such an excuse to pop up randomly.
What are you even doing in a anonymous imageboard?
I won't give a very elaborated reply now, I'm tired. But the tl;dr: Any form of unique identifier in a intelectual discussion is bad, because of "authority bias" or "appeal to authority":
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_authority
>thread about cars
>a avatarfag with a specific car photo says he is a car engineer working for Ford
>says some stupid shit
>other anons think he is right, because "of course a Ford engineer is right"
>anons that go against his arguments gets automatically discarted
>the avatarfag now is able to shift the discussion whatever he wants
Authority is a bitch.
What matters in a intelectual discussion should only be the truth and nothing but the truth (or "expression of what we perceive from reality", to be pedantic).
Authority on imageboard will only feed the UID guy to feel special and accepted and can be dangerous if your intention is malicious (deception/psyops - just like asukafag is trying to do, but is failing very hard). For other malicious uses, see Schopenhauer's work on the matter:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Art_of_Being_Right
Also, too much meta talking on nanochan this week. Just shut-up and create better threads for fucks sake.
>>14959 >anonymous imageboard?
Good meme (not).
It could be called "anonymous" if it was virtually impossible to have an identity.
>Any form of unique identifier in a intelectual discussion is bad, because of "authority bias" or "appeal to authority":
That's very black and white. You don't have to listen to others anyway, you can ask for identity proofs, because even an anonymous poster can claim various bullshit, and the discussion itself, if througly grounded in reality, won't suffer from such individuals.
>It also induces other cognitive biases, such as confirmation bias
That's vastly irrelevant. You can confirm your biases from anonymous posters just as good as from pseudonymous.
> What matters in a intelectual discussion should only be the truth and nothing but the truth
So, anonymous doesn't lie. *chuckles*
Onii-chan, you should illustrate better how anonymity is superior for the discussion sake. I mean, your avatarfag also could samefag without an avatar and do all sorts of crazy shit. Please be more thorough.
>deception/psyops - just like asukafag is trying to do, but is failing very hard
Your paranoia aside, anonymous user can do that much more efficiently.
> Also, too much meta talking on nanochan this week. Just shut-up and create better threads for fucks sake.
Don't tell me what to do, you're not my mom. xD
The more people are anonymous, the more protection anonymous people have. Anonymity in the technical sense means, that you're part of a group, and outsiders can't determine, which part of that group you are. I personally do things, which require strong anonymity, and it would get me into an gulag and destroy my life, if I'd do those things nonanonymously. So I appreciate the imageboard-culture, which disincentivizes deanonymizing behaviour. The bigger the anonymity-group, the better my own protection. If everybody except me self-deanonymizes, I'd be finished.
However, in some SPECIAL instances I want my stuff to be matched to a single person or project. Under those instances I give myself a name or handle, so people know, who they're talking to. But those are rare exceptions.
> Some people in a lot of places seem to hold the idea of anonymity like way too important. They despise avatarfags, namefags, tripfags and other forms of identity.
As someone with good security practices and a lot of technical knowledge, I'd argue for the opposite being true. Most people consider it being normal to self-deanonymize. If you want places, where strong anonymity is even possible, there must be strong social pressure towards anonymity, or there won't be any. On larger imageboards apparent torusers get attacked by lots of shills, just for being torusers. In the later days of 8chan people with the 000000 ID were getting dogpiled by (((shills))) for absolutely no reason other than using tor. Especially in threads, where anonymity would be a strong requirement in many parts of the world.
>>14961 >So I appreciate the imageboard-culture, which disincentivizes deanonymizing behaviour.
Well, having a pseudonym isn't exactly deanonymizing.
>I'd argue for the opposite being true.
It's normal to introduce yourself IRL, naturally. You don't want to deal with some random anonymous dude misusing your trust. So, it improves trust in you if you use your real name on the Internet.
It is not always wise, but that's how it is.
Anyway, I was talking about exactly the "anonymous" culture. Kids just will stomp on you for having "handle" at all, this is just stupid.
I tend to follow the feds tactics against darknet-drugdealers and CP-sharers. It appears, that if (((they))) have the capability to deanonymize me, (((they)))'re not using it. The way they operate appears to be attacking weaknesses other than tor.
They get drugdealers by either following the bitcoin-trial (mixers don't work as well as one might think) or bey drugs from them, and look, if they can find a video of someone throwing an similar looking letter into a postbox, after they have the tracking numbers, which darknet-shills require.
CP sharing is being combated by hacking into servers, and sharing materials, which call home, if they're started outside of a protected environment. Or by distributing some javascripts, which exploit vulnerabilities in firefox.
This indicates to me, that tor works at least good enough, to make finding me very hard for (((them))), if I have good security practices.
>>14963 I agree with you, that anonymous are just kids, and kids are being stupid in many regards. As I said, I use handles myself, when it makes sense.
Nontheless, I think, that social pressure towards anonymity has its upsides. Even though kids are stupid, you can have strong anonymity among them, while the mainstream - even alt-tech - will automatically shut you down just for having strong anonymity. Try commenting on bitchute with an account you've only accessed via tor. Your comments will always be detected as spam, and will therefore be censored.
>I would like to hear something more substantial to back up that hate
>Honestly, this gets ridiculuous sometimes, because people get sharted on for no other reason than having a pseudonym. People with nothing better to do than flaming just start picking on posters they don't like and they keep pestering them forever for that lame excuse.
You answered your own question.
This is an anonymous imageboard. If you don't like absolute anonymity, there are a multitude of other forums, where you can circlejerk all you like.
>>14961 >8chan people with the 000000 ID were getting dogpiled by (((shills))) Ah! The good old days.
>>14963 >"pseudonym" avatarfag exclaimed!
Might as well start gpg-fagging on all your posts, claim its a pseudonym too.
>>14964 >follow the feds tactics against darknet-drugdealers and CP-sharers
The worst users are truly the canaries in the coal mines. Normal fags wouldn't understand the significance of it.
>>14965 >Try commenting on bitchute with an account you've only accessed via tor
What browser do you use for that javascript hole? Do you also torsocks it?
Anonymity aside, hiding is not going to stop our enemies. You need to organize but in cells and have communication ready.
You're seeking attention and you're receiving it, it comes with the territory. I'm sure "celebrities" would like to live without people always harassing them as well.
>>14957 1. Their presence alone makes the imageboard more like a forum, along with all the disadvantages that comes with it. Once they reach critical mass, the imageboard basically becomes another forum (see: lainchan, most obscure imageboards). Most anons come to chans because they want to use an imageboard, not a forum.
2. As avatarfags gain clout on an imageboard, the thread starts to gravitate towards them, referencing their past activities or posts, leading to a soft shift in the topic of discussion towards the avatarfag(s). This is in direct conflict with the concept of ideas being the only focal point of discussion that imageboards share.
3. You are more likely to stand out with a persistent identity, making you the center of attention. Thus, avatarfags are usually attention whores. Nobody likes an attention whore.
Reminder that sage goes in all fields
>>15965 You still argue about something rather different.
Using Tor on some account doesn't make you anonymous in a strict sense. All posts are going to be linked into the account.
This actually is exactly what I'm about - pseudonymity.
>>14966 >This is an anonymous imageboard
It isn't though, read above.
>>14967 >Might as well start gpg-fagging on all your posts, claim its a pseudonym too.
It would be.
PGP message encryption works as follows:
a) Anna publishes her public key or gives it directly to Bob
b) Bob encrypts message to Anna with her public key
c) Now only Anna or somebody with her private key can read this message; fun fact - even Bob himself won't be able to read his message unless he encrypts it with his own public key (or unless he stores an unencrypted copy of course), which could be a security risk actually (now two keys can be used to decrypt the message)
So, Anna could have a lot of public keys she could share everywhere, and unless they are tied to her email address (which is intended use, but not necessary), it is a pseudonym.
>>14968 I'm not interested in some braindamaged kids trolling me OK, I want some top quality banter. xD
>>14970 1. Imageboards are forums with a simplistic design; forums could allow anonymous posting as well, and if you try to distinguish the two, you will be hard-pressed
2. If it was some useful or interesting activity, then why not?
>This is in direct conflict with the concept of ideas being the only focal point of discussion that imageboards share.
To my experience, imageboards are 5% discussion and 95% retarded meme spouting xD. I've pulled the numbers out of my ass, but that's mostly true. Avatarfags are probably even more motivated to hold a decent discussion.
3. Speak for yourself. Attention seekers are CUTE! Though I agree with you on this one. Attention whoring is harmful for an individual per se. Though anonymous posters can be attention whores too.
If everyone avatar and namefagged the imageboards like these would be pointless because everyone could know who he is talking to and how many active users there are.
Your behavior only works when it'a a rarity.
While there is no way of doxing you right now, a dox would link you to every single post you have made using the same shitty star avatar.
>>14991 >imageboards like these would be pointless
Why? I don't think so.
Anyway nobody want you nor everybody to avatar/namefag, because it's a commitment to do it consistently actually. But it's an interesting experience, I believe, so I wouldn't just bully people for doing so, and this aligns with points in OP.
>>14957 nanochan is perfect. a chan with actual anonymity instead of "trust us with ur IP goy" (because other sites block tor/proxies). and trips is bloat. nothing in this thread is interesting
>>14957 Absolute anonimity is something impossible to achieve, every imageboard user has an identity even without using a name, avatar or tripcode or whatever, you can recognize people by their opinions and niche interests alone most of the time, in particular in small places like this.
So it comes down to how much of your identity you find yourself comfortable sharing with other people of that particular community, like if you want to talk about certain stuff you will have to give out some details about yourself or give half-truths, just avoid doxing yourself and it will be fine.
Pseudonyms and avatars to me are just ways to maintain coherent intra-thread discussions and a cross-thread persona to for example continue related discussions in other threads or boards, maintaing an identity can be useful, but it is also pretty tiring sometime, for example if you say something incorrect about something it's pretty embarassing and people will call you out, on the other hand this encourages me to make quality posts, usually when i shitpost i do it anonymously.
I started avatarfagging on this board back in april to better follow some long discussions when star-chan and asuka-chan were avatrfagging like crazy, so everybody blame asuka and star for my avatarfag tendencies! I'm just a poor victim! Dindu nuffin!
Having people attack you it's normal if you have an identity, it happens all the time on non-anonymous forums or whatever else people uses these days and it happens IRL all the time, some people will like you, other will hate you, in my opinion if somebody hates you cause you avatarfag they are using it just as an excuse and truth is that they hate you for something you said in the past attached to your persona, personally i don't mind if people hates me for my opinions but i prefer if they discuss with me instead of saying "you avatarfag bad".
>>14959 >appeal to authority
Everybody does that, whoever falls for it should lurk moar.
>>14960 >Don't tell me what to do, you're not my mom. xD
Can i be your mom instead? pls
>>14970 >you are attention whores
Everybody wants attention on the internet, attention is the currency of the web, always was, always will, it all depends on what kind of attention you want and if you pursue it in a positive or negative way, for example a anon that makes a software for a community and adopts a nickname to mantain it, is seeking attention in the form the praise of the other members(don't try to disprove this it's always true even if it is uncouncious), but is making the community better giving something back to it.
Like if you don't care about attention of all kinds at all why even post on the internet? Why even interact with other human beings? Just live inside your inners mental universe. I tried doing that for some years, but spoilers it gets boring after a while.
>they make imageboards into forums
Imageboards are forums xD they just have a culture that is slightly different.
>>14972 >To my experience, imageboards are 5% discussion and 95% retarded meme spouting xD.
I've noticed that on nanochan is more balanced compared to other imageboards, more like 50% discussions, 50% ebin memes.
>Attention whoring is harmful for an individual per se.
Depends. Some people are obsessed and masturbate furiously over attention like the instragram girl type of person and that's not sane, others just want to share stuff about themselves and what they like or dislike, it's not black and white.
>>15109 >Like if you don't care about attention of all kinds at all why even post on the internet?
To share informations? To learn from others? If it was for the memes I would have left years ago imageboard. But sometimes good discussions come and I learn from those.
I'm not here for attention, you're just projecting and being a reductionist. 'A shame, you seemed an honest man'.
>>15109 >Can i be your mom instead? pls
I depends. What are you gonna do?
>I've noticed that on nanochan is more balanced compared to other imageboards, more like 50% discussions, 50% ebin memes.
Bullshit. I'd give discussion 20% tops.
>Depends. Some people are obsessed
Well, there is a difference between attention whoring and attention seeking, which you kinda reflected in your post, two times even.
Though avatarfags per se, like us (xD), are not exactly the coolest guys usually, OK? We are kinda pushing it with a lively talk and flame and whatnot, to a point where you can tell that some posts were not necessary. But again, a LOT of anonymous posters behave this way. You can even tell everybody with excessive negativity left the post because they couldn't not to. An attention whore.
>>15110 >To share informations?
Let me ask you why do you share information? To get attention and self-gratification.(which is totally fine if you deserved it)
>To learn from others?
By learning from others(implied through discussion not lurking), you are giving attention and gratification to whoever is sharing information to you.(which is also totally fine if they deserved it)
>you're just projecting
Maybe tbh.
>and being a reductionist
You mean that i am simplifying too much the issue?
To be more precise what i was arguirg for was the idea that attention seeking is normal part of human behavior and shouldn't have necessarily a bad connotation, being an attention whore on the other hand should have a negative connotation cause it's unhealthy and probably a mentail illness in disguise, but i wasn't saying that everybody on the internet is an attention whore, more like that everybody(or most people i'll grant you that) are attention seekers.
It's fine if you disagree, can i ask you though if you think that this difference between attention whoring and attention seeking exists or not? And if you think that seeking attention(in a moderate way) is always negative, can i ask you why?
>'A shame, you seemed an honest man'.
Please keep being my friend! *sigh*, This is what i get for saying controversial things with an identity. Jokes on me, really.
>>15111 >What are you gonna do?
Tuck in the bed and tell you a story every night?
No allowance and no parties though!
>Well, there is a difference between attention whoring and attention seeking
Really well put star-chan, it's what i was trying to say, i'm gonna steal this quote and use it in the other reply, don't hate me for it.
>to a point where you can tell that some posts were not necessary
>You can even tell everybody with excessive negativity left the post because they couldn't not to
For sure when you feel compelled to reply but at the same time you have nothing really to say it's an indication that there is something wrong(in those cases stop 60 seconds and think about what you're writing and why, it's what i usually do), although it's not always an indication of attention whoring, sometime also butthurt people will feel compelled to reply, also shills will make unnecessary posts and get the attention on themselves to shill their stuff.
>>15114 >Tuck in the bed and tell you a story every night?
The latter is pretty difficult to do consistently BTW.
Although fine, be my make-believe mom, I guess.
>No allowance and no parties though!
What's wrong? Are we a poor family?
>i'm gonna steal this quote and use it in the other reply, don't hate me for it.
Be my guest. You should learn to make more concise posts though.
>it's not always an indication of attention whoring
Maybe, maybe not. I'm not that convinced. You see, butthurt or shill people still don't think about the subject; they mostly think of (or just feel) themselves/their interests and that's what dictates the play. They think about themselves, and they want you to turn your attention to themselves.
Sounds consistent enough?

That's Nirvana fallacy.

That's bold, comming from someone that just commited a nirvana fallacy.
>won't suffer from such individuals.
It will, because identity leaves a legacy. As a example, the simple fact I see your cartoon pic I "err" inside and avoid answering. That's because I know the way you'll react and your way of argumenting.
>cognitive bias
>That's vastly irrelevant.
I don't think you have enough knowledge on the matter, then. It's very clear cognitive biases are relevant. In particular in serious discussions.
Another bias I didn't mention previously is bandwagon. As you create a "legacy" using a UID, you'll devide people between supporting you and not supporting you. This creates the "herd behavior":
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herd_behavior https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandwagon_effect
>So, anonymous doesn't lie.
That's a stretch of what I said and you know it.
>>15114 >Let me ask you why do you share information? To get attention and self-gratification.
I'm sorry to say, but you have a very child-like vision of what a forum is.
Why do people teach others? Why we have schools and books? That's how we advance technologically and as a civilization. If people thought like you we would be in stone-age by now.
>you are giving attention and gratification to whoever is sharing information to you
That's a side-effect, but not the final intention.
>You mean that i am simplifying too much the issue?
Yes.
>attention seeking is normal part of human behavior
Normal yes, but not the entirety of it. What you're doing is a long going discussion in psychology: the "strong" vs "weak" version of Behaviorism:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Behaviorism
Punishments and Reinforcements work to some extent, but it's not all of the human behavior. One special characteristic about humans is that we have the ability to self-reflect about our behavior and (sometimes) choose to give attention to it or not.
Human behavior is not determined by 'operant conditioning', it is relative. That's what most areas of knowledge have come to conclusion (in particular cognitive science and linguistics).
>you think that this difference between attention whoring and attention seeking exists or not?
No difference for me. While it's true that almost everybody will feel good with social acceptance (we are collective beings after all), seekers/whores do everything to get this attention, because they cannot fullfill this necessity like others. They are desperate inside, so they seek the outside for an answer. And what happens most of the times is that they will not find this 'outside answer' and become depressed. See the statistics on suicides in young woman (10-15yo).
>Please keep being my friend!
This is the beauty of anonymity. I might not agree with you, but I don't hold bad feelings about none of you.
>>15117 >That's Nirvana fallacy.
>That's bold, comming from someone that just commited a nirvana fallacy.
Will there be counterarguments or not? You guys masturbate to some swarm (or "herd") mentality posting and tell everybody to do so. Maybe you don't personally, fine, give yourself a treat.
>As a example, the simple fact I see your cartoon pic I "err" inside and avoid answering. That's because I know the way you'll react and your way of argumenting.
That's irrelevant to the discussion though, isn't it? Also I could behave that way without an avatar, and you could waste your precious time bashing your head against my anonymous face. See? I actually CARE about you, giving you a CHANCE to leave the battlefield before you get your composure tested. I am the good girl here!
>I don't think you have enough knowledge on the matter, then.
It's irrelevant for the reason that the anonymous meme you guys are defending right now is even worse when it comes to that. Memes in general are "herd behavior" at its finest, and given that you guys mostly defend some Tor usage and not the reallife anonymity (like personal data) shows that you fall for the "strawman fallacy" too.
>That's a stretch of what I said and you know it.
Obviously I had to illustrate that what you said is silly!
Anyway come back when you actually have something to say other than "it's the fallacy!!". And not about Tor. Tor is better than clearnet, I agree. Though I wasn't talking about anonymity in general or anonymity on the Internet. This thread is about the imageboard anonymity only.
>>15118 >waifu

I'll follow the advice of other anons on this thread and just ignore it for now on. Have a nice day.
>>15122 >I wrote a fucking introduction to basic forum discussion psychology and you can't see the arguments? GTFO already.
Psychology isn't science.
If you read my posts carefully, you would notice that my points don't contradict yours that much, but rather I say that being an avatarfag or not ultimately does not matter when you're willing to discuss.
If you're willing to pick on some avatarfag, it's no different than you willing to pick on some random anon for being stupid or whatever. It's not the discussion and could be not posted and ignored.
>What? What are you even talking about?
I meant not "you, too" but "fallacy, too". There are a lot of fallacies and it's meaningless to talk about them if they are the only arguments in favor of anonymous posting. I can argue anonymous people are even worse.
>Not even once I said something about Tor in this thread.
I did not imply you did. Just a warning that you shouldn't.
>I'll follow the advice of other anons on this thread and just ignore it for now on. Have a nice day.
This makes my questions and assumptions still stand and it grieves me deeply, actually. It means that at least some of you guys either hate me personally and use that lame excuse to bully me and some of you just hate pseudonymous posters irrationally (your own fears, desires and whatnot) as it was showed. And some of you do both. Also some of you misread my post and argued for Tor and nothing else, so you are probably cool at least. xD
Also you want to make it look like everybody on this thread just snapped and decided to ignore me, which is wrong. Fucking bully, honestly, what did I ever do wrong? xP

Good choice anon
>>15126 <surely once I explain things, the fag will see reason
Oh, nice.
You see, this is the problem. The thread was created in the first place because I got too many shit from random anons lately for no good reason, as I see it.
And then people try to "reason" with me by expressing their dislike and basically I either have to disappear because avatarfagging is evil (no other reasoning followed, my counterarguments were actually ignored for the most part). So, if being one of you guys means being such a braindamaged NPC, then I'm proud of being an avatarfag actually. xD Though I bet there are anonymous people here that do not have any troubles with pseudonymous posters, and I in fact had a decent discussion about it here where we agreed that it comes to a personal preference due to past experiences, but now there is some brutal genocide war.
Can we please just stop it? If you think I offended you, I can apologize personally here. Well, I still will apologize only if I see that I'm wrong, but I will.
>>15127 >there are anonymous people here that do not have any troubles with pseudonymous posters
I don't have a problem here, per say. If I'm really seeking total anonymity then I will just talk person to person using a high latency mixnet with GPG.
I think the problem is that Asuka kept coming and spamming shitty content everywhere and people had enough. They associate avatarfagging to him and you, possibly to other avatar people too. As far as I can tell you're not poisoning the well in your topics as much as asuka fag but some characteristics do come off as a bit.. disingenuous. It makes it hard in your case especially if you can be identified by avatar pseudonym that anyone can use. That is all but your fault, sadly. There could be 5 people using this avatar and I wouldn't know it.
Again, no problem with an Aryan mascot but just let it go. You aren't going to manufacture consensus like Asukafag does. However, the fact you are interested in similar shit like this (also your time of posts) makes me believe you are him at times.
>>15128 >If I'm really seeking total anonymity then I will just talk person to person using a high latency mixnet with GPG.
Any tips or just point me (or a random lurker) to a (nano) thread about those?
> I think the problem is that Asuka kept coming and spamming shitty content everywhere and people had enough.
That's silly. I mean, that could be the reason but it's silly and somewhat paranoid.
>you're not poisoning the well in your topics as much
What the fuck? I'm pretty much openly hostile to hypocrites who would use lame excuses to pick on me. I was also hostile to random people who pretty much were room temperature IQ and it was annoying. Though I'm past it now, it wasn't anything big.
>disingenuous
I have a closet full of secrets. ;P
Though mostly this claim is meaningless, since this is a tor board with no consistent way to identify users at all, and I don't see people here disclosing their intentions left and right. Or maybe I didn't get what you meant at all.
>Again, no problem with an Aryan mascot but just let it go.
People must know that I am a strong warrior princess and slapping some bad guys is actually fun! xD
Maybe I am the bad girl and people can show me why. It's interesting!
Though maybe I've had way too many talks about behavior.
>You aren't going to manufacture consensus like Asukafag does.
Asukafag didn't manufacture it really? Or what are you talking about?
>However, the fact you are interested in similar shit like this
Like what, I don't understand.
Anyway Asuka is an OK guy. Like, c'mon, when did an excessive flaming and unwillingness to accept the defeat become some deadly sins? Am I on an imageboard or what? Are you literal boomers (sorry xD)? The hate he gets doesn't make much sense. It's more like there are some people here who like to hate shit.
>>15128 >They associate avatarfagging to him and you
I've always hated avatars. I fairly certain OP is just cuteposter, who I hated as well. 8/tech/ had reason enough to ban him, will nano do the same?
>>15120 >Does it mean I have to marry you? That sure advanced fast. Though this thread is going into too many different directions, and basically you should go to /b/ and creep onto me over there somewhere about such topics, OK?
So you want to be creeped on by me? :3 I guess it can't be helped then?
>>15171 You are so cruel star chan. All I want is for a cute girlie like you to sit on my lap and call me uncle. I have been saving my virginity for a girl like you. <3
Some people in a lot of places seem to hold the idea of anonymity like way too important. They despise avatarfags, namefags, tripfags and other forms of identity.
In the discussion that is to follow, I would like to hear something more substantial to back up that hate other than your own psychological complexes or whatever.
Honestly, this gets ridiculuous sometimes, because people get sharted on for no other reason than having a pseudonym. People with nothing better to do than flaming just start picking on posters they don't like and they keep pestering them forever for that lame excuse.
Like, if you don't like somebody, don't fucking hide behind a crowd you stupid shitstain, OK? That kind of crowd mentality is disgusting and shouldn't be overused, and you lying to yourself won't do you any good.
So, two points: the credibility of the claim that anonymous is da best and the legitimacy of such an excuse to pop up randomly.
Thank you.
