Bhusan-jyu,

I am not boasting about my real identity to the entire community of decent anonymous Sajhaites. There simply is no need of that.

My intention is only to let the obnoxious anonymous posters to know that anonymity is to be understood respected/accepted only when it comes with decency.

Once the anonymous poster starts to use his/her anonymity as a cover, to describe it in exact words, to be in an illusion, like Bathroom is, of being able to abuse others, that understanding (of respect/accept to anonymity) is broken and the distinction of reality vs virtuality takes over.

In simple words, as long as an anonymous poster is decent, anonymity is not a problem and the distinction between anonymity and reality becomes obscure. Once the posters starts to be indecent and abusive, anonymity becomes a problem and the distinction between the virtuality and the reality becomes distinct.

I was simply pointing to that.

So I was not really boasting about my real identity to the decent anonymous community. I was only reminding those indecent anonymous posters, who are in illusion of having a power to abuse others, that they don't have that power, that they have only the illusion of that power and that they are really powerless for the purpose of being able to REALLY abuse others.

Anonymity was not invented for abusing others. It was invented for unabusive but otherwise uncomfortable things like confessions about oneself.

Talking about use, abuse, vested interests and confessions, I felt like sharing this ghazal again from an old edition of Chautari-VI.

I particularly have highlighted one sher with the message that abuses that come to your direction do not necessarily harm you.

थोरै केही पिएको हुँ
धेरै पिई दिएको हुँ

जबर्जस्ती हुन्थ्यो नत्र
यो सोची हौसिएको हुँ

बोकी बोकी हिडें जेलाई
त्यसैले थिचिएको हुँ


शत्रुहरुले छ्यापेका
हिलोले सप्रिएको हुँ

भगुवा अगुवा देखी
पछ्‌छिन हच्किएको हुँ

खियाले खिईनु सट्टा
चम्किन घोटिएको हुँ

बाङ्गा साथी सोझा देख्छु
कि भनी बाङ्गिएको हुँ

केलाउन नसकिन
भींडमा मिसिएको हुँ

उम्किएर ठूलो भयो
सानै गाँस लिएको हुँ

बींड मात्तै कति तात्‌नु
भनेर चिसिएको हुँ

यात्रा रोकेको कहाँ हो
साथी पो पर्खिएको हुँ
