I must be an extremely cold-hearted bitch, 'cause it takes me at least 3 minutes to work up sympathy for dead Germans, and often I don't bother.

Sorry, didn't mean to post anonymously.

For some reason, IP Address Locator thinks that 66.245.141.69 is in Atlanta, GA.

[mme-n-b.livejournal.com]

Yes, I'm particularly proud of that. All sorts of idiots who try to trace me end up in all sorts of wrong states.

[cema.livejournal.com]

When I trace myself, I end up in Brooklyn, because that is how Verizon Wireless (cell modem card) works. Cannot say it's too wrong, though (even if I am hundreds of miles to the north).

[mme-n-b.livejournal.com]

Cool!

It so happened that all the residents of this particular building were Jewish. Just for the record.

[mme-n-b.livejournal.com]

Thanks, I didn't know that - geography, including geography of Berlin, is not really my forte. Point is - it doesn't matter. One ought to feel sorry for dead civilians regardless of what shape their noses were, or who killed them, or even whether they were killed by the good guys or the bad guys. But it's fucking difficult.

You've got the advice below. I did not need it in the first place.

[mme-n-b.livejournal.com]

That's good, because advice tends to be either bad or expensive.

Это дом ж еврейском квартале Берлина. Такой там Холокост мемориал. Поименно.

[mme-n-b.livejournal.com]

Spasibo. Pechal'no to, chto i Vam i mne kazhetsja, chto qto vazhno.

[dklein.livejournal.com]

Еще печальней, что я даже не задумалась над этим. Ну конечно мне это важно. Т.е. я понимаю, что, наверное, должно быть не важно. По какому-то большому счету. Но у меня другой, свой маленький, личный счет.

[mme-n-b.livejournal.com]

Ja tozhe ne zadumyvalas', poqtomu osoznav ogorchilas' :(

You need to work on your character. What you wrote is a sign of weakness.

[mme-n-b.livejournal.com]

My character includes not giving a shit about whether anything I do is a sign of something :)

[cema.livejournal.com]

Well, at least you did not post anonymously this time; that is an improvement. :-)

[mme-n-b.livejournal.com]

Double logins are a pain :(

[cema.livejournal.com]

I know. But there is something about anonymous comments which is not right.

[mme-n-b.livejournal.com]

Is there? Besides mere inconvenience, that is. After all, neither you nor I are signing this with our real names, and for my part I don't plan to. In fact, I like the possibility of anonymity so much that I don't record IP addresses in my journal. What would you say is wrong with anonymous comments?

[cema.livejournal.com]

I am, in fact, signing with my real name.

A problem (just one) with anonymous comments is that there is no established persona behind the words. An lj user works out a certain personality, and a history of conversations helps to build up an ongoing relationship. An anonymous author is always a passerby.

[mme-n-b.livejournal.com]

Cema is not a name that makes you uniquely identifiable, but let's put that aside, since your point is valid: an anonymous author is, indeed, always a passerby. What I'm failing to grasp is why that should be a problem, rather than a pleasant diversion.

[cema.livejournal.com]

I am uniquely identifiable!

[mme-n-b.livejournal.com]

No, but certainly unique :)

[cema.livejournal.com]

Identifiably unique.
