It sucks hiding behind a pseudonym and partial names. It is impersonal and reflects poorly on the relationships we establish while using Minds, but for many of us we cannot risk the exposure. Those that understand this either share this burden or respect a person’s privacy. Those that do not are the ones at the root of this problem. I personally apologize for this inconvenient truth on my own behalf. I have had the opportunity to meet so many wonderful and amazing people on Minds. Artists, craftsmen, poets and writers, and just honest and respectful men and women. Unfortunately I must continue to hide behind a pseudonym due to the reality of living in a country that no longer respects my views or beliefs, but instead uses them as an excuse to discriminate. Remaining incognito does not reflect poorly on anyone I have met, but only on my current life situation and those responsible for this debacle. I have actually grown fond of this pseudonym. I love to preach truth: whether biblical or political. The title of Reverend receives mixed reactions, but is suitable for truth preachers. I also love historical legends like Doc Holliday and the many fictional depictions of this legend in films like “Tombstone”. Being Reverend Holliday holds great substance and is actually reflective of my own personality and nature. I am very similar to Doc Holliday according to his historical depiction, so that is why I chose to honor his name. The purpose of this OP is two-fold. I am writing it to show solidarity with other persons on Minds that are purposely staying anonymous on Minds. For whatever reasons this is what we must do and Minds is a great social media site to remain anonymous. Anonymity is our only choice. The other reason is that recently I have been asked to reveal who I am in real life, but I must formally decline such requests. There are options available on Minds to enhance communication (Gathering), but I will not be using those options. I must remain anonymous....
