I'll never understand the need for anonymity on LJ, either in comments or individual posts. Everyone has the ability to be both nasty and catty but when you cloak it in the security of an anonymous post or comment, is it anything but cowardly? What's accomplished and what's the goal? To stir things up? To foster paranoia? Or is it simply an inability to take ownership of your opinions and say these things to a person's face?
