I would, if I didn't already have stalker issues without posting my photo. |

I do not think authentic photos affect the anonymous aspect of the internet as much as you would think. There is still the matter of the the physical distance between users. I may get a bad reputation on this board and have my picture attached, but does that really matter if the other users know little else about me and are hundreds of miles away?
I posted on several E&N sites which hosted user picture galleries and I can assure you that no one thought twice about acting malicious or without manners if it suited their purpose. Hell, even in crowded areas in person people seem to be equally as impolite in their dealings with strangers as on the internet.
Sorry for the long-winded post; my final Communications class was on internet communities. The "anon" aspect is particularly interesting to me.
So, yes I do think many of the people would express themselves in whatever way they currently do.
PS. I'm excited for when I can finally add an avatar! |

I'd use my real name too except then I'd get the same whiny Dave's posters who send me PMs with hurt feelings spamming my facebook account.
Writing insults on the stall wall is a fun exercise, but I think there'd be a lot less guys on here with 24 inches of pork if they couldnt hide behind the cloak of anonymity.
Also, we'd probably discover there's only 1 female on the entire site and she last logged in 3 years ago  |

| I'm trying to find a bathing suit close to Marilyn's so that I can re-create my avatar. Also trying to find that playground thing-a-ma-jiggy. What's it called? A whirl? |

The only reason why I would say I disagree with you is because I don't think any man can accurately recreate the details of PMS like some female posters here have. Also, You really have to be a woman to truly appreciate a tampon. |
