User talk:99.56.138.51

Hey 99.56.138.51. Thanks for submitting a Wikimania bid for Stanford. Have you considered creating an account? Wikipedia has a list of reasons why creating an account is a good idea, and a lot of those reasons also apply here. Cbrown1023 talk 00:45, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I prefer to refrain from creating accounts in response to the way I have been treated in certain content disputes, and in solidarity with new users so that I can better understand the problems and systemic biases they face. I believe creating accounts leads to cults of personality, and raises authorship above the accuracy of text in many cases. I want no further part of that when I can avoid it. Thank you, though, for reaching out to help. 99.56.138.51 01:11, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, I can respect that stance. Cbrown1023 talk 01:19, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is the discussion page for an anonymous user who has not created an account yet, or who does not use it. We therefore have to use the numerical IP address to identify them. Such an IP address can be shared by several users. If you are an anonymous user and feel that irrelevant comments have been directed at you, please create an account or log in to avoid future confusion with other anonymous users.
