Comments on: Dim-Post welcomes Chris Trotter http://adamsmith.wordpress.com/2008/08/22/5258/ Commentary on what interests me, reflecting my personal take on the world Thu, 24 Dec 2009 03:44:32 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Matt Nolan http://adamsmith.wordpress.com/2008/08/22/5258/#comment-3727 Matt Nolan Thu, 21 Aug 2008 21:16:28 +0000 http://adamsmith.wordpress.com/?p=5258#comment-3727 "There is nothing inherently evil or dishonourable in such an approach" I completely agree Adam. There are plenty of good reasons why people don't blog under there name - all the other commentators on TVHE can't use there real name for various reasons. I don't understand it when people complain about others using pseudonyms, surely as long as they are not using the pseudonym as a cloak to hide behind while generating piles of insults it does not matter! What is important is what the people actually write. “There is nothing inherently evil or dishonourable in such an approach”

I completely agree Adam. There are plenty of good reasons why people don’t blog under there name – all the other commentators on TVHE can’t use there real name for various reasons.

I don’t understand it when people complain about others using pseudonyms, surely as long as they are not using the pseudonym as a cloak to hide behind while generating piles of insults it does not matter! What is important is what the people actually write.

As I noted on Trotter's blog: Just a thought - don’t be too critical on those of us who blog anonymously. I would love to blog under my own name, but my business could be compromised - and I’m not prepared to put the jobs and livelihoods of around 18 employees at risk - that would be failing in my “good employer” obligations. Blogging under a pseudonym gives me the best of both worlds." Now I am sure that Trotter will, being a good leftie, respect my wish to defend my staff and my business!! But I do not expect to make it onto his blogroll. I'll just have to get over it, won't I ;-) Well said Adam. As I noted on Trotter’s blog:
