Get a room, Team Bareback. Call the front desk and have them send up a
jar of Vaseline.

I'm not quite sure. But if you give me an address, I'll send Scott
Mercer Terminator over her house and have him bash her ****ing skull in.

Great, and I actually tried to keep it relevant to the original post.
Silly me.

There's a difference. If some is consistent in use of a pseudonym,
they develop a reputation in the forum in which they use it, which
helps other people judge the validity of what they say. They also
have to be consistent over time.

If someone is anonymous they can argue inconsistently, attack other
people from both sides, etc.

Nice dodge attempt. Your dodging (and the statement about "no return
address) suggests you're trying to avoid the fact that you've been
misusing the term "anonymous" in usenet for years.

Hahaha.

Don't ask too much. Sherman is just parroting what he hears from his
Usenet heroes/role models ("Anonymous! Anonymous!" gripes one. "A shy
person! A shy person!" caws the other).

Do like I've done and filter out any message from Magilla. Aside from having
30% fewer messages to read, most of the loonie tunes are gone as well. HC is
rapidly approaching that stage as well.

Correct. 'Hans Jobst' would have also counted.

I love all you Ken Pappy tools - Kuneyisland Psyclone for one - who get
their labia wet when people post under pseudonyms. Most of you people in
here sound like that lady yelling outside the Postal bus.

And then when I ask what's your problem with it, you Beetlejuices start
talking about personal "accountability" and "say it to my face" and
"let's meet at the cafe in Saulsalito."

All you stalker types are the reason why Sylvester Stallone has to put a
clause in the maid contract that says they're not allowed to make eye
contact.

I am only seeing this since it was cross-posted to rec.bicycles.misc;
besides which, being barked at on Usenet does not really bother me.

And Zarkie Bicycle is just venting at anyone more intelligent, educated
or successful than he is.

Just keep telling yourself that, Sheman. Eventually, perhaps, you'll
convince yourself......

In the meantime, just mimic your Usenet heroes.
