You first... you still haven't applied your criteria to yourself.

I honestly cannot tell you who I am because of the line of work I am involved in. If I were to tell you who I am there are many things that would happen to me and they would not be good. If you read my thread about HAARP you can see my career in that thread.

You said it yourself.

Because they are all Time-traveling Reptilian Hybrid Ninja Freemason Sorcerers working for the Illuminati out of a secret underground UFO bunker buried 666 miles beneath the Pyramid of Giza. Duh.

What is wrong with being anon? It's simply an enabler for most to voice their dissent.. You might feel safe to voice your dissent without repercussions but I'm assuming a number of people are a lot more cautious than you appear to be.

However to widen the perspective beyond said internet, I can trace the same approach back through hundreds of years of local dissent.. and over that time it has taking the form of women dressing as men, men dressing as women, mostly involving charcoal to blacken out people faces to make them unrecognisable.

LOL I guess I did

A person's level of anonymity is directly related to how much they have to lose and how much they care about losing it.

I, for example, do not go around on the forums and tell everyone my real name, but I don't hide it either. It is easily gathered by anyone willing to do a bit of digging.

I also don't really care if my employer sees my ATS activities. I don't broadcast who I work for and I don't speak badly of them, but that is out of respect for the organization that pays my bills.

Beyond that, even if I had the most ground breaking, earth shattering news ever and I posted it with my real name, it still would not matte much without tangible proof of the events behind the news. A person's name is irrelevant to the nature of the truth.

Yeah but there are some people out there who have been so dumb in the past and now nobody believes them but they want to post on here and be anonymous. But if we all found out who they are than they would be just another Disinfo agent agian and no matter who much proof or info they had it wouldnt matter cuz of the the past they had and lied a lot.

so they can speak their mind with fellow strangers without having their every thought easily found and attributed to them through google, by their friends, family or employers.

That is called INSECURITY

Maybe it is or maybe its called being smart to be selective with whom you share certain opinions. I can complain to my family all I want that I think my boss is a jerk, but to express it directly to his face or in a manner that would get back to him, well it probably wouldn't fair to well for me.
I have certain family members that I love dearly but we have very different ideas on politics, and if I were to share some of my opinions with them, it would cause a huge argument, and since I value the time I spend with them I would rather keep my opinions to myself since I am not going to convince them and they are not going to convince me.
I have a friend who I can speak freely about my boss and my political beliefs, but she is extremely passionate about her religious beliefs so I am willing to placate her by listening and keep my mouth shut about what I really think because it would only hurt her and drive a wedge between our friendship.

That is exactly what I was going to say, you beat me to it, you know that saying, the early bird gets the worm or something like that.

Who knows? But I would like to know why is it when you call someone out, or in a more specific case, you politely with no verbal abuse call someone out in their ignorance, and ATS jumps in without cause and not only deletes a post or comment, then fines you with these make believe ATS points! What a laughing stock this site has become!

I never say anything I wouldn't say in real life.

My anonymous avatar can be seen as if it is an extension of myself.
Then there is a silent rule that we just don't tell and it belongs with the ambiance of a conspiracy site.

My real name is only as far as a next request

That's not to far from the truth.

ATS is way to strict and why do our points matter? we cant use them for anything and we cant trade them in for cash and we definitley cant do anything but sit at our comp and LOOK AT THEM.

Have I got DE-JA-VU?

I am pretty certain another member asked this a couple of weeks ago.

I don't want to give my rel name because it is no-ones business. If I met anyone here in real life I would discuss my views but I don't want to be on record.

Why does this question keep being posed?

I find your insistance to view peoples identities disturbing.

Sorry but I do

Why do people keep asking why it keeps being posted? Maybe there are aliens on ATS and we are going to get probed and the staff will get probed too.

I would call you a troll and cointel agent, why do I remain anonymous? Because I worked for the department of defense long enough to realize that they would indeed make a website like this, or hire kids to patrol websites like this to encourage or subvert its members to release personal information about themselves. This would be in order to build a list of individuals who need to go to the big black hole that I know for a fact exists in various places, including out to sea where there is no jurisdiction.

Hopefully the moderators are smart enough to realize what you are, the fact you have been a member for a week and 2 days, and you are already trying to blackball members into giving up their identities. You don't have to ask people to try and get them to do what you want, Mr Smith.

Yep - this is exactly what the OP has turned this thread into.

Ok. I am not trying to get any identity from anyone. What I am saying is that someone like JOHN LEAR wasnt anonymous so if you have information like him why would you remain anonymous? all I am asking is why remain hidden when you have such good info you dont need to tell us your name just show usd pics and any evidence you have.

And I dont want anybodies name or informtion for that would make me a sick creeper just like you

The Government would know who you are very easily if they wanted to.
From what they say they watch this site all the time.
I wonder if I could get job with them, then I could have my cake and eat it two.
I could spy on myself, and report back to myself, if I were a threat or not.


Troll (Internet)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaJump to: navigation, search
"Do not feed the trolls" and its abbreviation "DNFTT" redirect here. For the Wikimedia essay, see "What is a troll?".
For other uses, see Troll (disambiguation).

A prank cake using common troll motifs such as the acronym 'YHBT' (You Have Been Trolled), the term 'pwned', and Guy Fawkes masks.In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into a desired emotional response[1] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.[2] In addition to the offending poster, the noun troll can also refer to the provocative message itself, as in "that was an excellent troll you posted". While the term troll and its associated action trolling are primarily associated with Internet discourse, media attention in recent years has made such labels highly subjective, with trolling being used to describe intentionally provocative actions outside of an online context. For example, recent media accounts have used the term troll to describe "a person who defaces internet tribute sites with the aim of causing grief to families."[3][4]
