Rather off topic, but I couldn't resist...

I really wish I could identify what it is about you that pushes my buttons so readily.

"Friends don't let friends post annon"

First of all, there are those who do not have an LJ account of their own, and have no desire to get one. Anon posting is the only avenue open to them. Do you automatically dismiss someone's opinion, simply because they don't sign their name to it?

What's wrong with posting anon, if your intention is simply to provide food for thought? I know that you were rather burned by your "a day for anything" experience, and I can see how the above post would put you on the defensive. But that does not mean that anon posting doesn't have it's place. The first comment appears to be thought provoking, rather than attacking. Does it's lack of full signature invalidate every point presented? and for that matter, does one attack against you invalidate every other point made in the second comment?

I read J's post, and there are a lot of things wanted to say on the matter. But in the end, I respected my love's advice to just stay out of it. Then I read the comments, specifically yours, and felt that I needed to throw in a converse opinion.
