May I explain myself in bullets? To make things clearer for everyone.
1. Nobody should worry about expressing themselves through their first account.
2. Nobody should swear or insult anyone. *
3. We should be polite, expressing different arguments. *
4. Creating alt accounts for me leads to essentially being worried to express ourselves freely. We can't be liked by everyone. We should be ok with that. **
*
(2) & (3) are fundamentally different as in:
- I hope you die for believing this bullshit.
- I disagree with you and I can't understand how you think this way.
I can hear the argument that swearing is freedom of speech, but I will definitely disagree and I don't think I can change my mind on this.
**
This argument can be transposed and one could say that creating alt accounts leads to being free to discuss.
The reason why I disagree is because I want people to talk freely.
But I realise that since we 're just digital personas here, this isn't the same as speaking with true identities.
Your points are valid, and I don't disagree with that at all, but I believe we are talking about different things here. You see, disagreement in a general discussion or even in a heated argument is something different, but taking a side or maybe proving someone wrong with valid arguments and even proofs is a different thing.
Imagine there are two people with good reputations and influence in the community having a beef, a heated argument, etc. You are watching everything, checking everything said and put out in there. Now, you might have some points that are valid and should be thrown in, or maybe something that proves one of them wrong, which might be the right thing to do, but since both of them have good influence and power in the community, you might fear getting targeted for your actions either directly or indirectly.
So, in such a situation, you would rather want to be politically balanced and keep yourself out of it to protect yourself, but what if there was a way for you to be able to do what you want to do without being worried about the possible consequences? That's my argument.
