It looks like there's two camps 1) pro-Anonymous subs b/c bias and 2) anti-Anonymous subs b/c... don't care about bias. Maybe there should be a third camp... 3) Anyone else besides me not care about bias but still like Anon subs?
oooh! oooh! i think i'm a #3!
while i acknowledge bias, i don't care about it when it comes to the contest because i don't believe anyone here is manipulative about it -- i like the thought of an occasional, all-anonymous submission because it's fun. but, if we do it all the time, it'll become less fun.
besides, i already
know everyone here thinks i'm obviously the best writer ever and that i
never miss big, glaring plot-holes or anything and they're only voting for other writers just to give them a chance. and, i think that's really thoughtful of them.
