It’s called The Discussion Workshop

Sarah, good plan!

BPR, your reasons for anonymity make perfect sense. And I hope your MIL never finds your blog.

RW, fucking rickroller.

Stephanie, alright, investors!

Sybil Law, but it’s finding it that would be the issue, since you don’t put your name on it. Putting your picture in a bathing suit is okay and preferred.

Karl, yeah, exactly. It’s the lack of accountability that is the most frustrating.

Janna, sounds kosher to me.

Grant, I don’t get trolls coming to my actual blog – they’re too frightened to do that. Instead, they just create separate websites to write about me.

Little LJ, I think it would have. When people have accountability for their words and actions, they’ll think about how they want to represent themselves and wouldn’t say half the shit that they can say behind the shield of anonymity.

Maria, thief!

Willie G, there is no true anonymity. With the right resources, I can track down anyone. And a rusty pipe gives them some more accountability then they’re likely to give themselves.

Penny, that is true. They clearly are sad individuals.

BE Earl, yeah, he got me too. Bastard.

Jay, the self-righteous trolls? Those are pretty bad, too.

Dave, if they provide you with a real name and contact information, at least they’re being accountable for their words. The anonymity gives cowards a chance to say things that they’d never say in public. Because they’re just too frightened.

Sarah, usually – but what happens that one time you don’t?

Charlene, I hope things get better for them.

Lexi, so you’d hire Trollbusters? Actually, my new idea is to hire a private detective to go to their house, take high-res photos of the troll in question, and then post them with all of their personal information and funny captions. I’d call them LOLTrolls.

Hello, they like to delude themselves into thinking they’re awesome.

Karen, I don’t delete non-spam comments. Ever.

Manager Mom, wait until they dedicate a whole website to you!

Golfwidow, sometimes I really want to give a damn enough to show up at their house and beat them for a while. I have no morals when it comes to those types of things.

Turnbaby, I refuse to censor people on my blog, even if they’re not fans. They’re all too fucking scared, though, because a few of them know that someday I am going to show up on their doorstep.

Todd, those are goblins.

Britt, that’s true, but it also just absolves them of being responsible for their own words. Every time I say anything, people know it’s me saying it. I have my photo on here, my address, my cell phone – if you want to yell at me about something I said, you can call me and yell at me or email me or whatever. I am accountable for every word I say.

BTDT, cheese and rice indeed.

Fantastagirl, I can definitely respect that need for anonymity. You almost lost your marriage because of it?

Janelle, you shouldn’t censor your speech, either. If you have a problem, you should feel free to state that problem – just be willing to defend your opinion. That’s what being accountable means.

RW, so your answer is to be complacent? Scientologist are always going to be there and there will always be cults, so why would you get all butthurt about crazy old Scientologists? Welcome to the world of freedom of religion.

Princess, I am lucky in the sense that trolls are too scared to comment on my blog.

Not Clown, I will saw your arm off.

Nat, yup! People would have to be adults. It would be amazing.

NYCWD, trolls have many distinctions – some of them do drive-by commenting, that’s true. I also choose to consider anonymous bashing of any kind to be a troll-like activity.

Kathy, I think it’s okay if people don’t like each other. That happens. It’s people who have severely flawed lives and are too afraid to even show what they look like who then pass judgment while anonymous on those who aren’t afraid to expose their personal life to the internet. Those ones are the scum of the earth.

Gina, real names and email addresses do make their statements more real, that is true.

BB, I know I already emailed you this, but just for those who didn’t get it, Not Clown is my friend Clown, fucking with me.

Summer, they made you shut your blog down? Wow.

Karl, if he comes over tonight when you’re here, you have my permission to punch him in the face.

Jason, because they’re pathetic.

Evil Genius, you can handle the taser.

Jennifer, do any of them live under bridges?

Kris, exactly. There is no true anonymity.

Sheila, Grant just blames everything on Christians. He’s a cranky fucker.

Diesel, I know after your last few posts, you know exactly what I mean, too.

Heather, any time someone uses anonymity to do something like that, I reserve the right to burn their house down.

Bec, you get hate mail?

Robin, nope – they’re probably someone you considered a friend – but only if you have any insane friends named Jane.

Charlene, not sure how my blog doesn’t fit in the objectionable content category!

Gemini, we can use people who know how to shoot!

Poppy, oh, I think I’d know who you consider to be a troll.

And Britt is beautiful. The end.

“They just forget that throwing rocks outside of your glass house doesn’t make it any less susceptible to shatter.”

:thumbsup:

They know if they were to truly show the people they really are no one would really like them.

It is sad really… Adam Sign me up for Duty… I have been trained in combat and am an expert with a Rifle..
