As a friend said to me today, if I were a fish I'd be embarrassed to be wrapped in The Valley Voice.

Congratulations on outsmarting those who were using multiple names so it would appear that their viewpoint/agenda was also held by so many others.

Teresa, you still have the ability to comment under any name you want. No one is taking away anonymity here, but we are making transparent attempts for one person to comment under ten different names in the same article. This happens on both sides of the hospital issue, and on other articles. Comment on another post, you'll see the ID changes. The ID only stays in one article's comments. You can be Teresa here and someone else in a different article. The issue has been on this site for ages. The idea that this is related to alternative viewpoints falls flat -- if you think that is a factor, it would have been done much sooner. We have been working on this for a while. This was the best solution. If you feel so inclined to call my bluff, look and see whether anything like this is available for our WordPress CMS. It's not -- this was coded in-house.

People are going to be given an ID tag so they are identified. Several months ago , my anonymity was exposed while using an alias, by your staff, when I had an opinion about the controversy with the hospital. No other person was ever identified publicly that used an alias. Only myself. I called and complained to your newspaper and got an apology, however, I questioned the genuineness of what was said. I was told “we don’t have the technology to identify people”. However, you miraculously had the technology to reveal my identity. Your paper isn’t willing to listen to both sides objectively.
