PGP-Protector

First it was Google+ Now it Youtube, next ?

I’m sorry, but I do like a bit of anonymity on the internet. Given how easy it is to look up & find someone by their common name, I really don’t like having to give it out.  Yes My Real Name is common, but my wifes? my Kids ? Are their names also common ?  Why should they also have to post their real name to use Google+ or Youtube?

What’s next clubpenguin requiring your childs real name be used for their character, yea that will be really protective of them.  I’m not sorry I don’t like using my real name.  If you know PGP_Protector as a jerk, then you know to ignore them just as easily you can ignore John Doe.  or bigguy473723.

If you need a real name behind an account, yea I don’t mind that, but people shouldn’t be required to show it at all times.  Heck even a lot of our actors, authors, ect go by pseudonyms.  We’ve survived for ages with that.

Was checking out Facebook and saw the Oreo post.

Rainbow OREO Cookie

Now you may love or hate OREO, you may approve or disapprove of Gay Pride.

But the one thing I noticed is that in normal life People seem to hide their feelings quite well.  But the Rainbow seems to bring out a persons true colors.  If they Hate Gay Pride, but hide it in normal life, online the’ll come out full with both Guns blazing when a corporation post a Rainbow version of their product.  If they Love Gay Pride, they may be your coworker, and you’ll never notice, but online They’ll rave & support the corporation also.

Me, I’m not gay, But if you are, fine.  Your marriage will not effect my marriage any any way.  I’ll let you live your life however you want.  I’ll try to live my live according to my beliefs.   Will I share what I believe with you ?  I might if you ask.  The one thing I will not do is Force you to live by my beliefs if your actions don’t effect me.
