Just use your own name. There is no functional difference.<p>There is another Joel McCracken somewhere, a principal of some school somewhere. However, my full name, "Joel Nathan McCracken", has not been taken. I've been thinking about beginning to use it in various places.<p>edit: one issue with this approach (or any similar approach, for that matter) is that it isn't easy to find the spot on the page where your name appears. A user would have to cmd+f your tag to figure out what you said, if they are interested. A better approach might be adding a link to the tag, but there are problems with that too -- places don't/shouldn't allow html content in their comments.<p>In any case, its a good issue to bring up.
I toyed with the idea of doing something like this ages ago, but decided against it. I felt it would become something akin to signing things, and it's open to the equivalent of forgery.
What's to stop someone from creating content you don't agree with, and then putting your tag on it?<p>To partially offset that you could create a page under your control that has a link to every page with a verified personal tag. Use Google alerts to send you the links automatically, and anything you don't recognise, check it out. Have an "I refute ..." or "Name and Shame" section to highlight those occurences that are not legitimate.
This reminds me of blackhat SEO techniques! (see <a href="http://www.nigritudeultramarines.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.nigritudeultramarines.com/</a>), nevertheless +1 very neat idea!
I agree!<p>{241C6C98-C3BA-4C22-A91C-1811B79DB6E8}<p>Seriously, can you imagine everyone doing that in every comment here, for example? It would get annoying real quick.
