You are using a throwaway.

Your own views are not valuable enough for you to risk your livelihood for.

  • Our founding fathers dressed as indians to throw tea into the Boston Harbor. You and your ilk demand the bank account information of anyone opposing your views.

    • Slashdot, the venerable ancient for tech discussions, allowed temp accounts under the term anonymous_cowards.

      Their camouflage was tactics, not cowardice. Don't bring the courage of courageous men as a shield for someone lacking convictions.

      For what its worth, I sympathize. I live in a country where I recognize that I am not as free as America used to be. That means I recognize the courage of those who take actual risks, and I also understand the weight of my words and the risks they may carry. I don't shoot from the hip.
