Ofcourse you can’t, because you ignore what everyone has said, and ignore at everything that people has put in front of you. People have explained the real dangers of anonymous posting, but you seem to act like Eddy Murphy in Beverly Hills Cop going “Lalalalala, I can’t hear you.”

Even the stories people have experienced, you call it fake stories.

That sentence is not applicable to the situation or conversation we were having, so no.

You know you’re never going to get anywhere with them. Arguing with them is like trying to argue with Ard.

That’s nice. At least I keep getting notifications that posts that were flagged are modified 20+ hours after they were made and hidden.

Good to see the conversation also made zero progress, nothing but the same thing on repeat. I suppose it’s time to give them what they want.


They get to post anonymously and we get to enjoy a nicer, more polite environment. Let’s just hope this thread contains them.

Edit: And for anyone who doesn’t know how to block the Hidden Profile folks:

You have been given multiple cons including evidence, personal stories and articles written by the government but you seem to forget that those exist.

Just google “anonymous posting” or “cons of anonymous posting” and you’ll find a whole list of cons.

Ah, but you won’t do that because it doesn’t fit your argument. Right, my bad.

Some ppl use this “security” maliciously
 To the point where I am suspicious of the true reason anyone would want this.

You people keep claiming those for anonymous posting are polite and kind while those asking for btags are rude and toxic.

Yet, the OP of this thread said telling you to game end is an opinion and YOU are the rude one for blocking them.

Multiple people who are for anonymous posting have called people liars, stalkers, harassers and even lied about being threatened in game.

I wonder which side is the real rude one, hm? :thinking: It’s really hard to figure out

Con: Anonymity makes us meaner
Study after study (https://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/30/opinion/30zhuo.html) demonstrates that being able to say what we think without fear of repercussion brings out the worst in us. With the advent of anonymous online commenting came trolling, cyber-bullying, and general unpleasantness. There’s even a scientific term for it: “the online disinhibition effect.” (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15257832) And anonymity can have far worse effects than just discouraging thoughtful and polite discourse: it has led to murders and game ends, as in the sad case of Alexis Pilkington, the 17-year-old girl who game ended after being harassed online by anonymous people.
