There is no fear of retaliation.

People say stuff here that they would never say to you face to face.
These kinds of forums have opened up a way for people to say whats
"REALLY" on their minds without any fear.

Some of the things I've seen people say here would get them a severe
beating, or DEAD if they were talking to a person live. I also guess that
depends on who they are talking to.

he he The joys of Usenet. I don't write anything I wouldn't say in person
except to someone who poses some sort of threat. Even here, though, I've
seen people stalked and harrassed by idiots who think it's fair game to post
personal information on people whos views they don't like. It's happened to
me a few times. But, after more than a decade of this, it's still an
enjoyable pasttime and way better than watching television.
