Passing the buck to others to fight for the cause of freedom is unacceptable.

I read TC's post and my take-away was completely different from your, stars and stripes.

TC indicated that perhaps she had shared too much, and she was going to step back for a while, not that she was going to stop fighting.

I think she has shared too much, her comments harken back to the early days of the internet before we realized that ugliness could easily find us.

It's sad when one looks at profile pages now, many freepers have really reduced the amount of information they used to share because it can be used against them. Everyone is accountable for their action or inaction.

Indeed, we are. Let us not choose to reprimand a less than artfully worded comment.

The fight will come soon enough.

I agree with your post, and the above really resonated with me. I am very careful to keep a low profile online, use pseudonyms and and avoid a social media presence, something I learned the hard way.

Back in those “early days of the internet”, I had a personal home page (remember when your friendly ISP would offer you space for one of those?) and I put WAY too much information on it. It was during the Klintoon administration, and when I was really fed up with him, I put up a meme (before I knew what that was, lol). It was really very innocuous - it just showed Bill C’s face with a long Pinocchio nose, and an unfriendly caption underneath. Well, after I did that, I started getting anonymously harrassed, and though I can’t prove it, I had strong reason to believe it may have originated from the Witch, herself.

Now I know better, and don’t do such things - in fact, I’ve taken things to the opposite extreme.
