m... We're not necessarily talking about spam. That's not the only reason people use anonymity. Posting (on-topic) opinions with which some people have violent disagreements is another. While that may not happen here, it is not unheard of on the rest of the net. What, we don't have violent discussions on taildraggers vs trikes? Damn political correctness strikes again... I still think that one should be willing to be held accountable for their actions... If a person crossposts some totally off-topic bull**** across a bunch of newsgroups and I can determine how they're posting it (either their ISP or via Google Groups), I'll report it to the appropiate abuse department... If they're not crossposting, I'm probably a bit more tolerant, especially if they aren't using an anonymous remailer... I figure that if they are willing to stake the possibility of losing their ISP on their comments, I'll cut them a little slack, no matter how braindead their post might happen to be... |

Well, I've killfiled the new remailer ID on my machine, but can't seem to do it for Google Groups, so I'll reply... You don't seem like the rest of the idiots that use the "Nomen Nescio" posting ID, so there is a chance that you might be able to understand reasoning and as such, no longer be guilty by association... I'll try to explain it to you on the hope that perhaps you might "see the light"... Nothing about the reply... If it had come from a non remailer account, I would have addressed the issues that it brought up... If you look at all the other posts by the various individuals using the remailer who all appear as "Nomen Nescio", you might get an idea of why it is so detestable... So do I! I posted an on topic response to some comments you made regarding flying with a handgun. I was accurate, civil, and courteous. So you launch into an off topic attack without provocation, throw in a few 4 letter words, and come off looking more like a troll than I have in anything I've posted. Do you have enough class to hold yourself accountable and apologize? I thought not! I have said nothing for which I have a need to apologize... I would have had no problem with your original reply -- if it had come from a non remailer account, I would have addressed the issues that it brought up... If you look at all the other posts by the various individuals using the remailer who all appear as "Nomen Nescio", you might get an idea of why it is so detestable... So that's why you hate anonymous remailers, it makes it tough for you to play "Netcop". Well, there's one good reason I use remailers.....To irritate peoplelike you who consider themselves the self appointed guardians of Usenet. Yeah, I'll admit it -- when I see someone posting a pyramid scheme or some other sort of scam, I'll try to report it to their ISP... Your type of attitude is the same as the neighbor who sees someone's house being broken into and just watches, figuring that since it wasn't *his* house, he shouldn't get involved... I'm from Texas -- we shoot the people breaking into our neighbors' houses and IT'S LEGAL... My, that's very nice of you! And it leads me into reason #2 for using a remailer.....I'm not going to allow any loon that I encounter on Usenet to have the power to "cut (me) a little slack"...or not. In other words, you're hiding from the responsibility of your actions... And, Yes, I would say everything I posted here to your face, also. If that is in fact the case, why do you align yourself with all the other cowardly anonymous posters that go through the remailers... It's a matter of being able to easily identify a post coming from a particular person so that others know who they are talking to... How does someone not know that you're one of the other wackos that are using the "Nomen Nescio" ID? If you are so afraid of using your real name, you could use Google Groups with some sort of moniker tied to a HotMail account that you delete after setting it up... At least with that sort of scenario, you have created a name that might uniquely identify you and as such, others won't think that might be the same person as one of the others who posted under the "Nomen Nescio" remailer ID... Maybe you could post under some ID like "Not-So-Private-Pilot-1234" where "1234" is some number that means something enough to you that you won't forget it... Do you actually *like* posting under an ID where someone else can post something and people will think that it is from you? |

That name is aparently used by so many anomyous and disagreeable posters it comes out as guilty by association even before people read what is said. Agreed... If you do a search on Google Groups for the posts by that name, you get quite a few, but there has been significantly more because they set the X-Archive to 'no'... No only are they to cowardly to say what they say with something that might be traceable, they don't have the balls to let it stay around in the archives for posterity... I figure that if it was worth saying the first time, you shouldn't mind it staying around forever... I guess it would kind of be like someone who says they wear a white sheet and hood because it is comfortable and it doesn't matter that the only other people wearing that is the KKK... Sorry, but you're guilty by association... I've encountered anonymous remailer individuals on other newsgroups and they have always been trolls... There is no way that they would have the balls to say what they say in person... That may be different with the individual who is using it on this group, but I guess I won't get a chance to find out because I killfile the domains of the anonymous remailers regardless of whether I agree with the poster or not... It's possible that the person who is using the remailer on this newsgroup is simply misguided... Since he has X-Archive set to 'no', it's not like I could look back in the archives to see if he actually is a reasonable (albeit misguided) person... |

I know I'm relatively new to this group, mostly lurking and having posted only a few times, but this sub-thread has really caught my attention and would like to offer some observations. For one thing, I know of some folks in other newsgroups that I participate in that post anonymously and they are far from being trolls. Why they chose to post anonymously is their own business. But they are good contributors to those groups. Besides, in my personal experience anyway, I encounter more trolls that use real (or fake) email addresses than those who post anonymously. Filtering anonymous remailers may nuke a few unwanted messages but it may also nuke some good legit messages. What about all the other trolls that don't use anonymous remailers? I also can't help but notice there are more posts in this thread complaining about anonymous posters, about ignoring them, and why they are bad than there are actual anonymous posts. Lastly, there are very legitimate uses of anonymous remailers and mail-to-news gateways. I have used them on occasion myself.

If there is a person that is so clueless that they chose to associate themselves with the cowardly anonymous remailers and their posts don't make it through, so be it -- acceptable collateral damages... I also can't help but notice there are more posts in this thread complaining about anonymous posters, about ignoring them, and why they are bad than there are actual anonymous posts. It's the principle of the thing... Lastly, there are very legitimate uses of anonymous remailers and mail-to-news gateways. I have used them on occasion myself. If someone is using one, they're hiding from something... They don't have the balls to accept the repercussions of their words... If they're not willing to own up to what they say, why should someone waste their time reading their dribble? |

Ok, Now you're REALLY getting on my nerves. Would you care to discuss these "repercussions" that you keep mentioning. I believe he said that he killfiled your domain. It looks like you got the last word in though :-) |

Oh, I'm pretty sure the dickless wonder read it. He just can't back up his tough talk. Outside of stirring up a lot of **** with someone's ISP, what the hell can he really do. And really, most ISP's would tell him to go screw himself, anyway. Let's face it, the Dizum remailer has been around for at least 5 years. If the moron can't figure out how to killfile a domain in that length of time, he probably needs a set of instructions posted over the toilet paper roll. And I've never figured out the mentality of someone who feels a need to announce that they are "going to killfile" someone. I guess it gives the wimp a sense of power. It's always seemed analagous to a little kid sticking his fingers in his ears and going "la.la.la.la.la" to act like he isn't listening to someone, though. I've never killfiled anyone on Usenet and I won't killfile this turd, either. But I certainly won't be offering him any helpful advice in the future. Nope, the loudmouth wouldn't dare post his list of "repercussions" 'cause any theats he could offer would probably be just cause for the State of Texas to pull his Concealed Carry Pistol Permit faster than he finishes a romantic encounter with his sister. I believe that the dizum remailer's domain is not constant, so perhaps that's why he was ****ed that it popped up again. You have to admit that it tends to be used by a lot of trolls though. I suspect that the non-trolls who use it are the exception, not the rule. As such, I suspect that he figures that you are just guilty by association. It appears that the concept of being totally anonymous makes him somewhat irate. To each his own, I guess. |
