Don't try to justify your mean-spirited antics
further, they are beyond justification.

- Anon
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I repeat...

IMO, you have some very serious mental issues
to resolve before you take me on., anon. This all began
with your PSYCHOTIC fear of being sued for stating
anything publicly here in RAH under your real name.
For me to pass up an opportunity to tickle your underbelly
was and continues to be... too much to resist.

Since a number of people (15, IIRC) have been sued for publicly posting
things
on RAH under their own name, I think that anon's fear is anything but
psychotic.
In fact, it's pretty reasonable.

Anonymity will insulate a poster from tort liability? Tell that to the
anonymous posters who libeled a Seattle businessman and his business.
Their ISP's gave them up in a heartbeat, especially after a judge ordered
them to.

Fact is the ISP becomes liable too, and there is authority to back it up,
when the ISP, after having been given notice, continues to serve as a
channel for the libel. But in the case of the Seattle businessman, the
ISP's were more than happy to turn over the identities of the culprits,
after terminating their accounts. Besides, the law provides in all cases
that the court can order a reluctant ISP to give up the name, address, and
other pertinent data of the offender so the sheriff knows where to go to
serve the summons and complaint and other legal process.

So much for your armchair barristering, triple-arse. As they say here in
NC, "Liyah, liyah, pants on fiyah."

And YOU like to PLAY with fiyah, don't you, boy?


I'd just prefer that people who want to post anonymously get a psudonym
[sic], or
"handle" - so you can tell them apart when they start talking to one
another.
If there's only one "anon" it's no problem, but what if there were 12?
