This is a great rule of thumb to follow if you want to save yourself some embarrassment later.
Sadly, I didn't think of this meme until after I'd done my fair share of complainfagging.
Yes, but people think they are anonymous.
It's very easy to run your mouth on an 'anonymous' board, but quite different to say something in person before the group they are addressing.
I'm suggesting that anons operate on the assumption that they are not anonymous, and how they conduct themselves is being scrutinized.
I've spoken my mind here without a filter, and probably without giving enough consideration, up until relatively recently.
I don't believe in censorship, but operating without a filter can just turn into a childish mode of functioning resembling the liberal mindset.
Just saying…
