Those who express them certainly should appreciate the opportunity.
It should be clear to anyone the reason I spend my time writing this blog is to expound on my own opinions. It's a huge satisfaction to me because I have so many.
No-one is obliged to read the blog. That they do is my second greatest source of satisfaction.
I welcome argument.
Disagreement is not verboten.
Personal abuse certainly is.
The blog belongs to me, myself,alone.
Of late, argument has replaced abuse to a considerable extent. I am glad of the improvement.
Still, there is a degree of incivility accompanied by clear hostility.
If an invitation to my home was accepted, guests would not expect to leave their manners on the doorstep. Anonymity does not permit the rules to be different in my blog space.
Argument is welcome.
Sneers and jeers are not.

well said Evelyn!
I guess the difference between us is I prefer to know who my guests are before I let them into my house and hence my decision to likewise restrict anonymous posting on my personal blog.
I fail to see where offering the ability to place a mask over their head before they enter is helpful to anyone, or the process of participation as a whole.
If someone wants to challenge this theory than I suggest having balaclavas available for people to wear before they enter public spaces. Lets see how this changes the level of participation, or even comfort.
If you want to speak up than do so with the confidence of who you are.
Otherwise you're just some crazy scary dude in a mask and what's the point?
"It's a huge satisfaction to me because I have so many."
That's our Ev, ever the master of the understatement...
very good!
