In other words, it's OK to flame someone on a mailing list or in a blog as long as you do it under your real name.

Now, how do they intend to enforce that? What idiots!

Most people who have any Internet experience use aliases --- several, in fact.

This is another ridiculous nightmare piece of legislation that may look good on paper, but is very impractical in reality.

And some use chained proxies, remailers, etc. Very handy in Usenet
