But I don't want you to know who I am!

Interesting

I do wonder how one would be expected to enforce it. You caould require it part of registration, but what do you verify the information against? I suspect an awful lot of John Smiths and M. Bormans to sign up.

On the other hand, here on LoT there are few of you that I don't know personally, so privacy in some ways has already been forfieted.

I think what troubles me most about this kind of thing is that the lines between home and work are getting fuzzy and the workplace is creeping more into the home and limiting speach in ways governments cannot (i.e. terminating employees that talk about their workplace). Already I've heard too many stories of that kind of thing happening.

I think we need more safe havens than our lawyers, priests, and doctors for us to be able to talk freely about our lives without fear of retribution.
