I don't see an author for this Mõtteruum.
Have the rules changed?
Have the rules changed?
Public authorship puts one into internet search space, among other things. If Mõtteruum is said to allow a place for pretty much anything, provided the author is willing to attach their name to their words, then this hiding of identity behind a blurred picture of an old white privileged man violates the principle and travesties the implied aim of making a place for anyone willing to go public to editorialize.

Mr. Nailhead and Mrs. Woodsaw (now passed) have been fixtures in Toronto Estonian community for decades. The translated names are funny in English but rest assured, these are actual names in Estonian.
Funny, how the commentator chooses to be anonymous. A rule of journalism is as long as the publisher knows the identity of the author pseudonyms are acceptable. How often have you read a newspaper article where the source speaks on condition of anonymity? But the journalist, editor know. In case legal issues arise.
To ask to play by the rules on the internet, is, quite frankly, risible, and reflects not on Mr Nailhead nor the editor of EWR - but the poster of the comment.

Actually when "Mõtteruum" (and what would that be in English?) was launched, the rules of the game were spelled out in detail (albeit as I recall in Estonian) and they specified the inclusion of the author's name.
That piece is now buried. Draw your own conclusions.
Our 'known author', our very own 'old privileged white man', has an insider's platform for editorializing already. What is questioned is the purpose of publishing here - how many platforms does he need for his editorials, which are often picked up by this website - and at the same time, the evasion of using a pseudonym for what appears as a published article. For one thing there's the matter of responsibility, when hurling epithets. As in "old men are often unfairly awarded the epithet “dirty"”, (Google dictionary). What's in a name? Or is the pseudonym an unintended commentary on the sad state of our editorializing – the style may be dated but is it venerable? - and who cares, anyway?
Btw "source" implies information, certainly in the news context. But there it is, it’s "Mõtteruum”.

You hit the nail on the head Tõnu.
“Tõnu“: “One does not always agree with journalist Rick Salutin, but on Friday the self-described “leftish-sort” sure hit the nail on the head. In an opinion piece …”:

Lgp anonüümne. Panete viltu oma mõtlemata põlvetõmblemistes. Juttu ei ole kellegi eneseõigustamisest - kuid anonüümsest argusest. Autorifoto oli loo juures. Nimi tõlgitav otse. Ja ei tea, et ta oleks ei privileegitud ega määrdunud. "Dirty" old white men? Kuidas?Are they all so? Vanaisad kõik nii? Valge ja vanem küll. Aga mida Teie selle küsimusega saavutate? Eneserahuldamine olevat patt katoliiklastele. Luterlased, eeldades, Teie mõye käigu järgi, aga naudivad seda.
Arvamuslugu paistis kinnitavat nördimust. Kui ei meeldi, kirjutage paremini ja uue. Nime alla pannes. Näitlejaid on palju.
NailheadI nimi oli aga artikli all. Paljud teavadkes ta on. Varem nii kiejutanud. Milleks kiskuda kui Teate, et ise saate paremini teha?

" The most startling aspect of the historic 2020 election is the fact that the Democratic Party, after 4 years in opposition was unable to find a candidate that would reflect the world today."
Disagree. IMHO, the "most startling aspect" is that so many people voted for Trump. Unless he's thinking that Trump better reflects the world today in which case, he may even be right and if he is, then we are indeed in big trouble.
