True -- but most people are anonymous in real life.
I have only had one post pulled in 6 years at FR and that was in the Terri threads.
The Terri threads were the most intense I have ever seen, here or usenet. I went to usenet and posted here at FR, what the war looked like over there so all the opus people could see that this war was occuring EVERY WHERE, things were nastier over there too.
