Post the first: Why am I here?

Why make a blog on anonymity on the internet?

The easiest answer is I'm doing it for a class. I am; that's probably the worst possible answer I could give, though, because it doesn't begin to scratch the surface of why I would take a class that would study something like this.

Another easy answer is that these ideas interest me. How does anonymity change the way we behave? When our faces go unseen, our physical voices unheard...what do we really say? Are we at our most passionate when we cannot be identified, or are we at our most monstrous? Is there always a difference? And, under the guise of anonymity, on the internet or otherwise, can effective change be made?

My answer was easy...but my questions, not so much. So in the coming weeks, I will be attempting to answer these questions in this blog. Maybe I'll find some of the answers...and maybe they will only lead to more questions. The best questions always do.
