Do unto others
Dear Editor,
I read Mr Bisram’s letter which “disagreed with Geralda’s position on the need for writers to reveal their identity”. Mr Bisram has scored a point – my statement was perhaps ambiguous.
There is no need for any writer to give what I would describe as “a biographical M.O.T.” of him/herself, and I must confess it never occurred to me that Messrs. Mohamed and Maxwell were not ‘real’ people.
I was referring to the characters who make mean, spiteful, hurtful comments about others in blogs, comments and similar columns under assumed names, knowing their identities are protected and they can say what they like under a cloak of anonymity. What is titillating to some could be severely damaging to others.
However, I maintain that newspapers should not print nasty personal anonymous attacks, particularly about well-known figures, and am glad to hear that at last this question is being looked at seriously by the UK media.
“Do as you would be done by”, or else “Be done by as you did”.
Touche, Mr Bisram.
Geralda Dennison
