So, dopers, get ready to fess up your real name or you can only lurk!
What a piss poor excuse for a moron. Hello asshole, don’t you know that the courts have already held that anonymity is essential to the 1st amendment? To think someone who was in the “Natl Wild Turkey Federation” would propose such a thing! Even the turkeys know better than that, Gobble gobble.
Hasn’t someone already tried this though?
Well, leaffan did for a while, but he just wanted locations…
In other words, some mean, stinky poopyheads called hims names on teh intarnets.
They can pry my real name from my cold, dead fingertips!
Actually, I don’t really care. I don’t post much online that I wouldn’t tell people if they asked. For all those closeted gay men, though… whoof.

Actually, the odds are that’s exactly what happened. This kentuckyvotes.org thing has been keeping an eye on the reps, and he’s not pleased.

If this passes, I might consider legally changing my name to Up Yours Tim Couch.
Well, that’s fairly stupid. What next, are they going to try to stop me from uploading my cd collection to my iTunes and my iPod? Oh, wait…
Couch is a colossal idiot.

A Kentuckian.
This guy is either really smart, and doing this as part of some publicity strategy that I can’t figure out, or . . . ok he’s a dumbfuck. That’s all I got.
“Representative Couch says he filed the bill in hopes of cutting down on online bullying.”
Yeah, and when people know who you really are and don’t like what you said on-line, real life bullying (i.e., assault) won’t be a problem because theres already a law against that!:rolleyes:
Greetings. My name is Crandall Spondular.
What Q.E.D. said - someone was mean to him on the internet and mommy couldn’t make it better this time.
Fighting the Internet Hate Machine* is somewhere between mud-wrestling with a pack of greased pigs and taking a baseball bat to a swarm of malarial mosquitoes. As long as there are people who don’t realize that, the world will never be short on laughs.
*(The totality of trolls, lunatics, terrorists, mailbombers, crapflooders, and your mom. In short, everything that makes people feel dirty and wrong.)
Yes, but in this case, it’s the Internet Muckraking Machine that he’s fighting. See my kentuckyvotes.org link above. He’s doing this because they were watching him.
In short, it’s an attempt to silence political speech.
How many anti-stalking safety people have bonked this guy with a clue-by-four now, I wonder? :rolleyes:
The same law should apply to adressing anyone in public. Even for random chatter about sports, asking for directions, and being adressed as a customer or shopkeeper". These are all opportunities for bullying.
"Hello, my name is John Smith, and I live 123, BestRoad, Oldtown, Virginia. So, How about this weather we’re having, eh?
Under immense peer pressure, I copped my location, but I will never give up my name. The evil doers are going to far.
