[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree.  I catch myself sometimes about to respond "troll" or "moron" on facebook.  Then I remember it's not anonymous.[/quote]

That is probably a good argument against having an anonymous forum. It promotes childish name calling and even adult-on-adult bullying in some cases. I am guilty as well, but when I think about it, I am not proud.[/quote]

You're probably right, [b]but on the other side, anonymity allows for honest opinion[/b].  In my real life, I like to avoid drama and flaming and don't like to hurt feelings, so I'll avoid answering questions such as "do I look fat?" or "is my child a brat?" when I really really want to say, "YES you could stand to lose some lbs" and "YES your little boy is a monster".  (I exaggerate)

Anyway, I find I get the most honest answers on DCUM and I believe it's because of the anonymity.[/quote]

I think you are right about this on many topics such as the examples you cited. Other topics, such as 'what do you think about private school x" gives useless advice, because there is no way of knowing the motivation of the poster or their actual knowledge of the school.[/quote]
