anonymised chats in public

Many people are terrified, when their thoughts are scrutinised by others. It is an understandable trigger, but I do not encourage it. Often I publicly post conversations with anonymised conversants, whereas my role in the conversation is more obvious. The anonymised may fear that this exposes themselves to vulnerabilities. But without the reification of a subject, the predicate of conversation is merely a concept, worthy of global review.

I generally comply with requests for secrecy, but in the absence of such requests, my own life is mostly laid bare. I do not know any better way to present information for discussion, than by this method. I certainly don't trust the anonymised parties' views, more than I trust the myriad of public feedback and opinion. 

It is notable however, that parties which tend to be terrified by such dynamics, also tend to be the ones who feel insecure about their place in society : uncertain about their relationships with others, uncertain about job security, uncertain about being perceived as mentally ill.
