The simplest way to improve the quality of the discussion

Civic debate is a fabulous thing. However, there is no question that the tone, quality and "approachability" to new participants of any debate improves dramatically when everyone uses their own identity. The more residents who are talking about local issues the better, and friendlier discussions help to facilitate that. This is a fabulous and homey town of just 2.2 square miles. I urge everyone to lose their secret handles and talk out in the open, no matter how much they may disagree with what they are responding to. Let's please stand up and own our words by standing behind them. Personally, I tend to skip over reading posts from anonymous posters. If I do read them, no matter how well written they are or how much I may agree with points made, I certainly view them skeptically. Let's all "Man up" and use our full names please. I guarantee that the quality of discussion will improve and so will the sense of community that we will all get from the time that we choose to spend interacting here.
