People who claim to be posting factual information and wish to be taken seriously in doing so, do it for attribution under their real name, with cited sources in support. Anything else is an opinion, and anyone with a brain and judgment who reads said post really ought to assume as much. Surely you wouldn't expect anyone to take as gospel something that is only attributable to someone going by the pseudonym "badger1", would you? Similarly, I would not expect the anonymous handle "D1andonlyDman" to be any more authoritative as a source as "badger1". If I was expecting to be taken seriously as a provider of factual information, I'd do so under my true name, with supporting source material cited as appropriate.

When you recognize that anonymous internet blogs are bastions of opinions, rather than authoritative factual information to be relied upon as such, you will be doing yourself a big favor in life.
