It's very good of you to defend me - I am grateful. I'd much rather have a kind or a wise word from you in my hearing, though.
Now to the point. I don't equate anonymity with bullying. Anonymity has plenty of positive uses. In fact, I posted at some length (http://kateorman.livejournal.com/873380.html) about this a couple of days ago, although that will of course have been after you submitted your secret.
Fandom doesn't just bully me. In fact, my experience of cyberbullying in fandom has been pretty minor. But fandom is full of bullying, especially indirect, passive-aggressive, girl's-toilet stuff like malicious gossip and spreading rumours. I want fans to stop accepting that and start questioning it.
(As always, assholes, log in or fuck off. I delete LJ's notifications of your comments without reading them. Nor am I going to comb though the comments here anxiously looking for your abuse. Don't waste your time.)
