It would appear that there is only one course of action for me to take.

You do realise the irony in all this:-

I dearly hope so.  


Just because The name "blackadder" appears, DOES NOT MEAN I AM any more or less accountable for my actions than if i posted under the anonymous header.

I asked people why we have such a system. no one seems to know why.  

We should just get rid of the system. It's not like we can't tell who the idiots are already.

DOWN WITH THE SYSTEM.

Where there is the option to post as anonymous?  It's because some people on LW know each other in real life, and when they are curious about strange bumps on their pen0r or they want to learn about drugs they may not their friends on LW to know.  Also, people care about their internet ego often, so this is also applicable to online friends and not just in real life friends.

Seems pretty straight forward for me.

And this cannot be accomplished though secondary accounts?

Not when the system promotes idiocy.

Then everyone would get second accounts that are only used once or twice. That sort of promotes idiocy in itself, unless you're willing to pay for the server that hosts all the different account information.

It's easier to check a box when you are posting instead of making an entirely new account.

Just because the system can be abused doesn't mean it's not useful.
