today's topic
today there was an editorial piece in teh st cloud times about how story chat (basically messageboard) posters should be required to post their names because of hate speech so they can be routed out and punished (i guess).
i think this lady’s a nutcase. the beauty of the internet IS anonymity. if you are required to post your real name on the SCTimes story chat board, then i’d guess 95% of people wouldn’t post there anymore.
would you post your real name on a public msgboard if you were required, even if it is a topic you are really opinionated on and want to opine to great depths on said topic?
