What if I don't want to "join the conversation?" (dangerouslyawesome.com)

Unfortunately for the author, talking about the conversation is "joining the conversation".


I lurked for over 6 months on News.YC before I started posting. I think some anonymous online discussions are more interesting because they are niche and anonymous.

Like UrbanBaby and maybe News.YC:

If joining the conversation requires linking an identity to my opinion, I might be too shy or scared to say something. Who are the top Yelp reviewers anyway?


They don't call you wallflower for nothin'...
