Agreed. Anonymity has destroyed civility and decorum. If you have something to say, fine, say it, but own up to it.

Why let people write horrible things that other people will read unless they sign their name? If they have to sign their real name, they will have to win their argument face to face, so to speak

If a person lacks courage in their convictions they will wear a mask. A meaningful civil discussion allows no masks. Masks imply cowardice.

If a person has a comment, they should not be afraid to sign their name.

I believe this would improve the level of civility and accountability. Thanks to the Tribune for all it does.

I totally agree!! I have been the recipient of such hateful language and personal attacks that were untrue and ill-based. When you hide behind an anonymous sign in name and make hideous, appalling statements, it hurts the whole community and is the voice of only one.

Anonymity in public discourse should not be acceptable in the comments section of the Tribune.

Hiding behind anonymity to post hateful and irresponsible attacks is reprehensible. You have the right to face your accuser. Anonymity negates that right. Please link and monitor these posts so that ignorance and hatred are either exposed or denied our community platform. Posting requires that you either wo/man up or ship out.
