If you can't stand behind the things you say, and you have to hide behind a telephone pole or a building to use a bullhorn to say things that might hurt, might attack, or might even disparage a religious belief (anonymously throwing turds on the roof of the synagogue because you don't like the Jewish faith), then you are a weak and immoral coward. God knows who you are. And, if there is a God in heaven, I believe that someday you'll be made to pay -- the grief of your parents, wife, children and descendants.


Wow, anonymous posters are like rapists, in your world view? Why am I not surprised by this?

I just love this all too old expression of personal impotence: "I can't get you, but god will!" Nothing like having god in your back pocket, since having a gun stuck in your pants is out of the question.

Are you SERIOUSLY comparing us posting on a mostly insignificant message board to a rapist????


A rapist robs a person of her virtue or physical security. You rob good people of their reputations.

And, so....if a rapist were to rape under their full identity, the virtue would somehow be less stolen?

They don't need anyone to do that for them when they're perfectly capable of doing it all by themselves... like you have, for instance.

Or a rapist behind a pole, I guess.

Which, I guess I am, since I post anonymously...

I can, so the rest of your comments are irrelavent. I make similar arguments when I walk around outside with people I know even when those people disagree with me. Maybe, just maybe, I'm not hiding behind anonymity because I'm embarassed. Maybe, just maybe I use anonymity because the situation is a bit different when I am onlline than when I am hanging around people I know outside. Similarly, sometimes it is appropriate to wear nothing more than a swimsuit and sometimes that is highly inappropriate.

Furthermore, if I were truly libeling anyone, you could demand that Shades provide you with my IP address, contact my ISP / work, and then sue me. If you have a legitimate complaint, you can find me. If you're an anonymous vigilante coward who plans to burn down my home while I sleep, you're gonna have to work harder. I do not post anonymously to gain the upper hand in debates nor to avoid accountability.

Not if you keep your pole/gun to yourself.

Why do you think that? I don't see the connection.
