Is Anonymity On Line Dead?

[Dixon Carter Lee]

The appeal of Lit, and the rest of the net, back in the day, was
anonymity. The safety to explore and dialogue freely, without
blowback in the real world. Is that gone now? With everyone
using their real names on Facebook, and no one caring anymore
about people knowing your political and sexual affiliations, is
anonymity on line dead?

I think so. Dixon Carter Lee is dead. There's no need for these
dumb ass usernames anymore. My name is Phil. Phil Daniels.
Nice to meet you.

 

[Recidiva]

Hi Phil.

 

[Sean]

I loved you in Quadrophenia, dude.

 

[CHNOPS]

I guess this is as good a thread as any to finally reveal that I am an alt of Sonny Limatina.

 

[Recidiva]

I'm Recidiva. Nice to meet you guys. That's a relief. All this anonymity I've been burdened under.

 

[KRCummings]

It's dead for those who use their real names. If you don't then what's the worry?
This reminds me of people who sometimes Google KRCummings and think they've found me when they get a hit. Ya know, cuz that's my real name and all.
Stupid motherfuckers.

 

[VaticanAssassin]

Ok, I agree. I will come clean.... I am Keyser Söze.

 

[dolf]

quadrophenia? neato!

 

[BotanyBoy]

Hi...

There are two people on lit who actually know who I am.

 

[Adre]

Pleased to meet you all. Lee Carter Dixon at your service

We all know that your real name is Jenny Orgasm.

I sort of miss him, to tell you the truth. He was a rather interesting fellow.

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

That's the other Phil. You know, like the Groundhog Phil.

 

[run_silent]

Ok, I agree. I will come clean.... I am Keyser Söze.

You sir are a liar. I have confused you to the point of insanity just like everyone else. My real friends call me KS.

 

[dolf]

[blobfish]

I guess he's talking about Punxsutawney Phil.

 

[Liar]

I don't even know who I am.

 

[dolf]

I guess he's talking about Punxsutawney Phil.

[Recidiva]

Groundhog Day.

Local thing.

 

[blobfish]

No idea. There was a guy named Phil something in the Quadrophenia movie, but I don't know what it has to do with the groundhog.

Dear Doctor Phil.

My wife has been cheating on me for the past 17 years. Should I be worried about this?

I am actually Tampa Police Chief Jane Castor...I've been investigating a child porn ring run from Lit by "jeninflorida".

Arrests will be made shortly.

Please don't leave the GB without asking me first. Thank you.
