Many social media groups have people seeking advice
On matters intensely personal, so it comes as no surprise
That the posts are anonymous, they do not want to reveal
Their identities obviously, but in reality I feel
That often enough information is given away
That people who know them can identify them anyway
That brings me to the question- is anonymity online
An oxymoron- even if you were to go completely offline
Your details would remain somewhere on the internet
If you are on social media, about anonymity you might as well forget..

It is interesting to how many people reveal every detail except their name
If they are found out, they only have themselves to blame
But those responding to the posts are not anonymous
The anonymous person can collect others’ thoughts thus
Without revealing their own identity-
They can get the opinions of friends and family!

Sometimes I want to reply to posts anonymously too
Especially if I have an unconventional point of view
It would be nice to state my opinion without revealing my identity
Needless to say, I would not disclose details that could trace the comments to me

Anonymous or not, people are seeking genuine help and advice
The least responders can do is to be courteous and nice..
