...it's hard to take seriously those that bash hyde on the internet under anonymous names because they are not proud of what they say here. i've heard people say on here "you don't want others to be able to find what you say on here" well then don't post it. be proud of what you say. raise your hand high or not at all. raise it like you're proud of it. and if you're not, don't say it.
I beg to differ. I'm proud of what I say, and I stand behind my words. And if I find that I am wrong about something, I will acknowledge that and apologize for it. Billy, you're not even 20 years old and you are expounding on pride and accountability like you are some world-weary sage who actually has some idea about potential consequences. Who are you to judge? Are you financially responsible for a family's welfare and continued existence? Moreover, it isn't always
employment that some people are concerned about. Some of us have been through circumstances that are so traumatic it is difficult to even see it in print, let alone have our names associated with our experience.
You have thus far lived a very spoiled and protected existence with any and all significant concerns taken care of you by your parents. People have reasons for their desire for privacy and it is not up to them to have to prove them to you. It's supposed to be a free world. We all know it isn't, really, but we'll take the freedoms that we can get. I hate to bash you too hard, after all, you're still such a young guy, but growing up has a lot more to do with developing a capacity for empathy than it does with the spelling of your name. If you want to raise your hand that high, why don't you take on an avatar? God knows, you'll find it a lot easier to negotiate your posts.
And I have to say this: There is absolutely no equating the life-altering soul-denigrating DISRESPECT, not to mention horrendous ABUSE, that Hyde has shoved down the throats of countless individuals over the years, with some penny ante venting on some website. For shame, to even consider said sins in the same sentence!
Cheers.
