There is a difference between known experience (fact) and dribbling paranoia (by one that doesn't know for fact). I have not been to any rally, but from what I hear, some folks have had problems when using their real name.

If that's true, it is pretty sad and a bad reflection on the forum.
On the privacy issue, I always gave my email address out on Lucianne's site and the vast majority of the many people who mailed me were friendly.
Nasty people don't email you because they don't want you to have their email address. One or two did use the anonymizer software to send hatemail though. Which was pretty funny.
I think you are more in danger from Americans, if you are a Liberal or a Republican American.
If you are a Brit, you are fairly safe. Because the fact is most Brits cannot tell the difference between the two parties. The Liberal party is further right wing than our Conservative party so whomever we support, we are labelled lefties. Mainly because of the gun thing.
