Over and over again it advises:

There are very good reasons that the innocent prefer Anonymity.

I remain SheAnon

Do not make the mistake of thinking that you are anonymous!


The only way to be anonymous on the internet is to not use the internet.

But I guess I wouldn't know about such things. Believe me or do not
believe me. It doesn't matter to me.

Yeah I know -- I found your KB3 call and true e-mail address in a few
seconds and I am sure you can find mine with some effort.

NOT TRUE

If you want I can e-mail you how the harassers do it.
Won't list it here for obvious reasons.

"Give up"???? WTF are you "giving up"?

My identity is no state secret. My call, name, and address have been
in Callbooks for almost 5 decades. From there it's a pretty simple
exercise to determine my phone number.

I'm not ashamed of my identity or my thoughts and ideas, and have no
desire to hide my communications behind some assumed name. Why would I
want to?

I guess we're just old fashioned Hans. My name, callsign, and therefore
my address, and telephone number is out there for the world to see. And
yet the one case I know of stalking in here has been done through two of
the anonymous folk.

Of course it was okay when this whole thread got started by one

your knuckle-dragging, non-anonymous brethren who said "More like
"chicken**** coward by choice" about people who are savvy enough
to
remain anonymous for general posting. That was K0HB, the epitomy
of
the manners that you seem to think go along with non-anonymous
posting.

No, it isn't okay. No one should use bad manners. And that is just
a
minor point anyhow. I was attracted to this thread by statements of
how
using an anonymous name was going to protect you.

It won't.

The point is that, anonymous or not, bad manners are not
predictable
by the anonymity or lack thereof of the poster. That's just your
prejudice speaking to you.

And sonnavagun! You prove by means of your own posts that
prejudice is
your forte. Good for you, Mike!

Not the best example of logic, Chris. I never spoke to the manners
of
those who would identify themselves. And even that aside, why don't
you
compare the typical manners of the aggregate of the anonymous
posters. A
large percent make Steve and Hans look like choirboys.

Mike,


Might I kindly suggest that it is pointless trying to argue with a
modest
double-digit IQ type?

Anonimity died years ago, if not decades ago. Folks use it when they
want
to flame on the Internet (or go persuing underage girls or boys).

The original comment of "chicken#### coward" was well made, even if a
bit
harsh

Sigh ...

Absolutely, James.

Anonyminity is for cowards and criminals. Period. Any of this
other "I am avoiding spammers" or suggestions of avoiding online
"stalkers" is assinine, at best.

Lennie and Brain are living proof that you can be an idiot on line
and not risk getting hurt despite deserving it sooooooo badly! =)

One can use a "disposable" e mail address for defeating the
spammers. And if you can't put your real name on a post, you obviously
lack the strength of conviction in your own opinions, so why inflict
them on anyone else other than to be annoying?
