Having an alias debate name says what? What's the purpose of hiding your true identity?

Cuaroc, I see your point, but I think you misunderstand how many workplaces would fire or refuse to hire people who express views the company leadership dislikes and which some HR personnel may refuse to tolerate. Demanding to check personal social media accounts is increasingly common in the hiring process. At the same time, intolerance of alternate viewpoints is becoming increasingly common. It is not unreasonable to worry that perfectly honest, reasonable, supported, and polite posts, would lose someone a job at a later date. Consider that Google fired a moderate liberal for not being liberal enough. His position was tolerant, reasonable, and liberal, but it differed from the even more left-leaning philosophy of the Google management team. While what he published under his own name was on a work system, it is likely that had the same people seen his views on another media platform, his views still would have gotten him fired, or at least would have destroyed promotion opportunities. (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/07/ This is the predictable and lamentable outcome of political correctness out of control, and the equally predictable backlash. Unfortunately, there are also individuals (Supertrolls) who go out of their ways to persecute people, in real life, with whom they disagree. I would not want ANTIFA or the KKK to be able to figure out who I actually am or where I live and work. It is totally conceivable those hateful and intolerant nutjobs would damage my property, hurt my family, and otherwise mess with my life in material ways. There are even a few people on this site whose manners are bad enough, and whose posts are angry and irrational enough that I am uncertain of their ability to deal with disagreement in a civilized way. I would never want some of those folks to know my name because I cannot be certain it would be safe to do so. 1

ROFLOL, you actually thought the childish fool Cuaroc wrote this debate? He copies other's debates to get the points he is incapable of getting on his own. If you actually want to debate with the person who worte this debate, and is capable of writing more than one sentence insults, just look down a few lines on the new debate list. I can certainly see your point about businesses demanding to check personal social media accounts (a practice I don't necessarily agree with) but I don't think they would worry too much about CreateDebate as opposed to Facebook, Twitter or any of the other mass media accounts. I've known both trolls and serious debaters who had multiple avatars so I don't think it's a simple hiding thing. Some do it for fun or different kinds of responses. I'm far more concerned with the banners. But indeed I automatically have less respect for someone who uses them, especially if they won't own up to it. |
