Sorry to hear your Mother is not doing well but glad to see you back on CGI.. I've missed your views.. :-))
Lynda Susan .. Name I was born with..
: just noticed from reading further down
: and at RMN -- that it has been posted
: Just kind of getting back into the loop
: of writing again
: have been out of province tending to
: my Mother with some health problems
: and she has no internet and does not
: want internet
: She is quite content with volunteering
: at the Nursing Home -- which she is
: not in --- and happy volunteering for
: the ladies auxilliary for the Canadian Legion
: and going to church and being active in
: the seniors club in her community
: She had some back surgery and a few
: complications --- but appears to be up
: and on the go again ---
: The reason I put the article up was
: In Canada recently
: CBC News a public form funded by the
: taxpayers of Canada has moved to change
: their comment section at the bottom of
: some of their articles from
: those that use pseudonyms to you must
: use your real names
: because some have abused the rules and
: regulation for commenting and hiding behind
: made-up names while -- I guess -- attacking
: someone else for their points of view
: Some are upset about this move and some think
: that is a great idea

: (snip)
: CBC will ban the use of pseudonyms for readers commenting on
: stories on the CBC.ca website, the corporation announced
: Thursday.
: All commenters will be required to use their real names, Emma
: Bedard, spokeswoman for CBC English Services, told CBC
: News.
: The move is a "request for transparency on the part of
: [online] users," Bedard said.
: over 7600 comments have been written
: regarding the CBC move
: as for my name and it sounding like a pseudonym
: Cmanynames
: C is for Cathy my real names
: and manynames is my native name
: have not written a CBC comment to find out
: it they will take the name -- manynames
: or do they want my maiden name or do they
: want my married name
: I just have to wonder how many names some
: people have
: I actually know more than a few people with more than six
: names
: especially if they are from many countries around the world
: Cathy is a very common name used in every country in the world
: in many different forms
: and not in any racial reference while writing this
: Mohammed seems to be a very popular name used by
: hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of males around the
: world
: along with their other 6 or 8 names on their actual birth
: certificates?
: You can change your name for a fee anytime you want?
: So what is up with the real name thing?
: I'm not hiding behind my name
: maybe some are, I don't know ?
: I have no problem with using real birth name
: real married name or real native name
: native name
: C(Cathy)manynames
: I earned that name
: I was married and divorced
: I was married again and he died
: and I have been married for the 3rd time
: for over 25 years
: What name do they want?
: What's the purpose behind this?
: If you do not agree with CBC article
: do you get banned
: I guess we will see
: (snip)
: 'Anonymity hard to prevent entirely'
: When asked by CBC News if banning pseudonyms was the same as
: banning anonymous comments, Bedard said the goal is to
: "encourage our users to use their real names,"
: but "anonymity is hard to prevent entirely."
: Bedard said it is too early to say what kind of measures CBC
: might consider to try to ensure people are not using fake
: names.
: She noted that banning the use of pseudonyms is "really
: just a first step" in fixing the issue of hateful
: comments online and that CBC will be looking at other
: measures, including the comment moderation process.
: Cathy
