Everyone can have an equal voice. Especially on a forum such as this.

It doesn't matter whether in 'real life' you are shy, stutter, aren't very confident with language, or even if you can't communicate verbally at all.

You can say whatever you want. Be someone different.

You can have a voice, even if in reality you literally haven't got one.

I disagree with all this guff about proof of identity being needed, before what we post is taken seriously.

Even if we physically meet people, we all still self-edit what we want people to see, and know about us.

I suspect for most of us, there'll only be a very small number of people who'll know the 'real' person.

If any.

You are right. Isn't it something to do with the Johari Windows(no not Microsoft Windows)?
We have different persona's for whoever we are with.....only we ourselves know the true persona....and even this is very fluid...subject to change according to mood, experience, and phases of the moon.
