Privacy for opinons and ballots

Guest

There is no reason why we need to know who is posting anymore than we need to know how people vote. Thank god for forums which don't require registration or the approval of a board or administration in order to gain registration or post an opinion. Those who demand to know who is posting are like those who want to remove the privacy of the ballot box. Only those who must resort to threats or intimidation in order to control things need either.

I get the feeling you're the whining "anonymous" over on The Bisbee Forum.
Es verdad??

And yet, you still keep coming HERE, Buzz. Curious, that. Rolling Eyes

What is it that someone said a while back? "How often is it that the "victim" stalks the "perpetrator"?

I guess you forgot that you posted in reply to my post initially??

I guess it would be curious to you, Eric, as this is the only Bisbee forum you're allowed to post on. I, on the other hand, can post where I please.
Are we still on for a Thanksgiving rendezvous at your Mommy and Daddy's??

You are not planning on making the mistake of showing up there, are you?

Look at Buzz's post, where he says, "are we still on for a Thanksgiving rendezvous at your Mommy and Daddy's??"
It's clear that some folks want your personal identifying information so that they can threaten you and your family if they feel that you have "direspected" them.

Nope, not me but I do support the Editors right to allow anonymous posting and warn users of foul language. My comment was to all of those posters who like making personal attacks and dislike things that inhibit that.

By the way, I don't find an alternative opinion whining even if the term has become as misused as troll when it comes to expressing an unpopular position.
