It's great to see so many enemies of secrecy posting anonymously here!

1. recs = 0 (your vote +1)

secret unrecs too

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. And what would you have us do?

We ARE anonymous.

I get your point, still...

[kenny blankenship]

3. If you think anything you say or do here is a secret from the G you are an idiot.

Here or anywhere else online.

[tkmorris]

4. There is a vast difference between personal privacy and state secrets

You do know that don't you? Furthermore, as another poster mentioned, we are anything but anonymous here. Your average net surfer might not be able to put a name to your nom de plume used here, but more than a few reasonably skilled net geeks could, and your government definitely can. The only reason it doesn't happen more often is lack of incentive.

11. And it will take all of 20 seconds on a slow

connection.

5. I guess I'm just weird

my handle here is my last name ... and I flame regularly in the letters to the editor in the local paper,
not anonymously there at all!

6. It is not a crime if you don't get caught.

Irony.

[EFerrari]

9. How do we know when we reach Peak Irony?

[Rex]

12. Endless dropping points - Abyssal, like a million black hole suns in a suitcase.

There is no peak, I think is slopes upward along the backside a little toward the end. But no peak.

7. Because a DU user name is just like using "naitonal security"

to cover up for BushCo war crimes!

[JVS]

8. Tell me when a DU identity commits a war crime, then I might give a flying fuck.

13. Welcome to DU, Write Left!

[pnwmom]

15. Which of us are posting government secrets?

For example, lists of specific facilities worldwide that the US considers critical to national security? Which pipelines, which dams, which hospitals would be the best targets?

Wikileaks has already leaked such a list. I'm not aware of any DUer posting national security information.

[TheKentuckian]

17. Government personhood? Is that what you're calling for?

If not then you made a strange nonsensical comparison.

[Amonester]

18. I hear 'strange' clickkks and 'male' voices in my cellphone whenever

I have or make a call these days...

And Obama is President.............

Yeah, anonymous we are. Sure...

[sudopod]

19. When I invade a country and kill a million people

you can get back to me on that.

We would appreciate it if you could focus your discussions on the issues at hand, not on other DU members.

"On Democratic Underground we strive to have a robust discussion of ideas but all too often members will derail those discussions by pointing fingers at or making derogatory comments about other DU members. It is the responsibility of every DU member to participate in a manner that promotes a robust and respectful discussion focused on ideas. The moderators are empowered to remove any post that disrupts discussion by insulting, attacking, or casting a fellow DU member (or members) in a negative light, or by diverting attention away from the message and onto the messenger."

Thank you for your understanding.
