You do have to admit one thing. If people posted under their own
names, there would be a lot less rancor and stupidity in this
newsgroup.

It is amazing how much "courage" a perceived anonymity gives some
people.....


It would, but the side effects of such is worse than the problem. The
biggest problematic part of a moderated medium is censorship and
narcissistic moderation. It is why so few boards doing serious
moderation survive. Granted some do, but not most.

Because far too man liberal-statism types persecute alternate opinions
on having freedom and rights for their own myopic greed of need.

What canuck is saying, of course, is that he is incapable of abiding by
