if that is even a possibility then its a shame.. and clearly people have way too much time on their hands and not enough sense. id hate to think anyone here would be capable of such behaviour... but hey who knows who all of you all are.

There are plenty of people who become really full of rage because of online discussions - it is DEFINITELY best that people be anonymous online considering all the loonies out there! ... Uh, just ask the band and their stalkers. :? The 10C forum probably has about the same ratio of crazies as the world at large does, so yeah, I totally think it could be dangerous for people to be forced to identify themselves here or on any other discussion forum.

i couldn't possibly type them all...These are all deliberate mis-characterizations determined to obfuscate the motives of the other side

being against this law means you are for bullies and condone their behavior? We have had this conversation on other topics, I will now ask for your name, address and IP number since you are, deliberately or not, mischaracterizing my feelings on the topic and I feel wronged.

They are not educated to the problem and are unwilling to remove the shield for fear.
Fear someone may do something to them.

You have very little idea what I do for a living...if you did you may not have typed this.

his insinuated I am not educated enough to know better, that was mean, see above

"Me lying and being a little malicious in intent"... your words,

more lack of understanding as to the harm done, more not taking responsibility for
one's actions or words. Being accountable.

see above. I have no lack of understanding. I just don't think the government is the entity that will stop it. So please stop mischaracterizing what people say.
and by the way, lying and half truths aren't illegal.


If you feel you are abused there are already legal remedies in place. and it does not include the forced housing of internet users information. So I am glad you want to live in a society where everyone is nice...so do I...let's see if we can get it through force.

and who is even to say that the identity i offer up as my legitimate one is even real? who is gonna be policing that? will we have to show govt approved Id somewhere? its ridiculous to even think a 'ban' on on line anonymity is even workable... cause lets face it.. the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

yet it is out of fear you do not want this proposal???
many here have used that as a basis for why they do not want it,
that and loss of speech when there is none.

It will help to provide a conscience for those who have none,
it will provide accountability and protect as our laws do.

It will be like eye to eye, face to face.
We remove the chance to menace because we are not hidden.
Internet bullies are truly cowards they are not face to face bullies.
The internet provides a whole new generation of bullies of opportunity alone
because they are hidden. Remove the veil.

A law like this will be the eventual outcome as the public demands
protection. As in the case of the Do good Senator getting bashed by lies from
someone who hates the way he looks. Enough of this type of stuff already.
